Fiat Bravo's safety and handling hailed
The safety and handling of the new Fiat Bravo has been praised in an independent automotive review.Motoring journalist Chris Whitcombe has justified his assertion on New Car Net that safety is a "strong point" for the new supermini by pointing out that it received a maximum five-star safety rating for adult occupant protection in tests from the European New Car Assessment Programme.
Moreover, he has praised the vehicle for its secure handling in spite of the fact that the engine apparently provides a "healthy dollop of power" for a car of its class.
"The Bravo 150 is quick and agile with excellent handling … and has that indefinable fun-to-drive element," he said.
As Fiat aficionados may already be aware, the Italian automaker confirmed last year that the new Bravo would be the first model to sport its revamped badge.
The new logo features bold capitalised white lettering on a ruby red background.
