Produced for a single transition year in 2006 ahead of the new Bravo, the final iteration of the five-door Fiat Stilo featured a revised chrome mesh radiator grille, darkened headlight bezels and standardized trim levels. Frequently operated as high-mileage company cars or dependable fleet hacks, conscientious Fiat Stilo maintenance is necessary to verify that accumulated commercial mileage has not masked deferred servicing.
Under the bonnet, the Euro 4 compliant 1.9 MultiJet 8V (120 hp) and 16V (150 hp) diesels represented the zenith of the Stilo's mechanical development, paired with slick six-speed manual gearboxes. The 1.9 MultiJet 8V is celebrated for its mechanical robustness when its cambelt and water pump are renewed regularly, though cars equipped with factory diesel particulate filters require regular motorway journeys to sustain passive regeneration.
