About this deal
If you want a family car that's fun to drive through corners, you'll be better off looking at the Focus. The Fiat 500L is a compact five-seat MPV that expands the retro look of the 500 city car to much larger proportions.
The Lounge Wagon – The Only Wagon That Converts into a 2
That’s a bit disappointing given that full LED headlights are standard on a lot of family car rivals, including the Ford Focus. When it comes to safety, the Tipo hasn’t been tested by the experts at Euro NCAP since 2016, and its four-star rating has expired. Getting comfortable in the Tipo is easy enough thanks to plenty of adjustment to both the steering wheel and driver's seat.Go for an Easy Plus model and there’s cruise control to take the strain out of distance driving – but if you want adaptive cruise control then you’ll have to spec one of the optional safety packs, which will also add a speed limiter and auto emergency braking. Fiat doesn't give you a height-adjustable boot floor in any version of the Tipo, and when you fold down the (60/40 split) rear seats, it leaves an annoying step in the floor of the extended load bay. Keep reading this review to find out, as we test the Fiat Tipo against all those rivals in key areas includingperformance, interior quality, running costs and more. You get a three-year warranty, which matches Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen, but is nowhere near as good as Kia's seven-year, 100,000-mile cover.

There's a small strip of soft-touch plastic on the top of the Fiat Tipo's dashboard, but almost everything else is covered with an oddly textured hard plastic.
The infotainment screen is mounted high on the dashboard so you don't need to divert your eyes far from the road to see it. Real MPG was created following thousands of readers telling us that their cars could not match the official figures.
