The FIAT MAREA & WEEKEND (1997-03) 4DR SALOON 1.7 16V 115 ELX is a four-door family saloon, with the Marea Weekend offering an estate alternative. In the UK it sat among mainstream cars rather than city cars, competing with models such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Nissan Primera. Its 1.7-litre petrol engine and 115 horsepower made it a sensible choice for journeys, commuting and family duties, while the saloon’s separate boot suited buyers who preferred a traditional shape. ELX versions were positioned as better-equipped options, giving the Marea a comfortable feel without aiming to be a premium car. mycarcheck.com has three look-ups covering two VINs, so its figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide: recorded mileage was 79,000, annual mileage 4,000, and three previous keepers. The £100 average private-sale valuation is unusually low and may reflect limited or dated records; check each car’s condition and history carefully.
