I've got some money tucked away for a new car.
I like the look at the stilos.
Anyone vouch for them?
Any negative comments?

Cheers

Roomy and comfortable, revvy engine and lots of gadgets. But on the
other hand quite a bad road feel and personally I've had so many
warranty problems during my 2.5 years as a Stilo owner that I'm right
now waiting for the delivery of a Citroën C4 instead.

The road feel can probably be fixed with stiffer suspension and
carefully set up toe-in, and the irritating problems could be just me
being unlucky.

Bottom line, actually a really nice car, just make sure you pick a
dealer who has a quick response to any problems you might encounter.

By the way be carefull about the tyres they put under it.
Pirreli's P7 is probably not the best choice for a long tyre live.
I have just experienced it after 10.000 miles the front tyres haven worn
down with normal use.
Let them check first for toe-in or toe-out deviations.
