FIAT MULTIPLA ‘USED CAR OF THE YEAR 2002’

FIAT MULTIPLA ‘USED CAR OF THE YEAR 2002’

Fiat Auto’s innovative Multipla six-seater mini-MPV has just been named Used Car of the Year 2002 by Used Car Buyer magazine.

Used Car Buyer is Britain’s only dedicated used car magazine and this is the third year that it has run these special Awards. Multipla not only won the top prize – Used Car of the Year 2002 – beating 10 other category winners in the process, but also Best Used MPV as well!

Commenting on the award, Used Car Buyer’s editor, Ian Cushway, says: "One car isn’t enough anymore; we need something for the school run, local commute, DIY store excursions and cross-country expeditions. That’s why we chose Multipla. It is an all-purpose vehicle that dovetails neatly with modern lifestyles. It also happens to be fabulous value for money on the used market."

The judging panel included several of Britain’s top motoring pundits, and other experts from the motor trade. In selecting category winners a number of factors were considered, including availability, value, residuals, image, the ownership experience and how well that car performed in each category.

"Part of the Multipla’s massive appeal comes from a unique mix of innovation, driver appeal, practicality and value. As a package, it is unbeatable," says Used Car Buyer.

In summary, Ian Cushway adds: "It is compact, yet instead of seating just five, the Multipla goes one better in two rows. So the Multipla is short, yet wide which is inspired lateral thinking. Essentially, used car buyers get a lot of innovation for not much money."

John Chater, used vehicle operations manager, Fiat Auto (UK) says: "We believe that this award represents a recognition that the Multipla has re-written the book on family motoring. It also highlights the benefits of Fiat’s flexible Approved Used Car package which provides customers with a family vehicle which they can trust and that is expected to retain strong resale values and low cost of ownership."
