Has anyone received their new automatic Fiat yet. I know they were due out from January, but haven't heard of anyone yet getting one of them, have you, if so I would be interested to know if the scuttle problem was fixed, and is there any signs of this new judder problem being spoken of?

Ours is due to the dealer on 5th April....

Carol

Ours arrived a week early. I suppose no one has got an auto yet

Wonder whether it will have the judder in reverse

So many things to look out for on top of the extras etc

I would guess that Carol will have fun testing the reverse on all those Devonian Hills.
Lets know how it performs Carol.

Strange that we were wondering where we could test it.... we have a great one we have to drive up to get up from the A361, but it is single traffic as it is, so that isn't any good, and to be honest going up or down it frontwards is bad enough, no room for error!!

Yes- we're all interested to see if the auto is affected. Could your Dealer find somewhere to test it with you as part of the hand over??

Hi Carol,

We have a brand new one in stock, seems OK but then we never have had any real problems going backwards! Twisted Evil

Please form an orderly queue for test drives!!!!!!!
