The FIAT MULTIPLA (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.6 16V 103 ELX is a compact people carrier, a practical alternative to a family hatchback. Its tall, roomy cabin suits family trips, school runs and bulky loads, while its manageable size is easier around town than many larger MPVs. Unlike more conservative rivals, the Multipla stands out for its distinctive, wide-fronted design and flexible six-seat layout, with three seats across each row. The 1.6-litre petrol ELX gives family buyers a drive; it is best considered for space and character rather than modern fuel economy or equipment. mycarcheck.com has recorded 60 look-ups covering 19 VINs, giving a snapshot, though not a complete picture of every car.
