The famous British reserve has traditionally been something of a curse for boldly styled cars. The Ford Sierra took a long time to catch on, whilst the public never really took to the Ford Scorpio with its challengingly aquatic looks. It seems no matter how good a car is, if it looks a bit out of the ordinary, the car-buying populace break out the barge poles. And so it is with the Fiat Multipla. Showered with awards and praise by all who drive it, it has been outsold by more conservatively styled offerings such as the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but just because you've a family to haul about doesn't mean that you have to forgo any notion of style. Does it?

About the Fiat Multipla

If you've got a growing family the choices are few. Do you accept that you're on the slippery slope to pipe and slippers and buy a Vauxhall Zafira or a Renault Scenic? Are you still young at heart and funky, in which case a Chrysler PT Cruiser might fit the bill? Or are you a true aesthete who appreciates clever design, who knows a Philip Starck from a Phillip Neville? If the latter is the case, the Fiat Multipla will appeal. It's well built, unapologetically original, will turn heads wherever it goes and will hold its value well. If you can handle its width and can live with the looks, plump for the diesel version and watch the envious gazes of other mini MPV drivers as they blend into anonymity. Your children will love you for it.
