The FIAT MAREA & WEEKEND (1997-03) 4DR SALOON 1.9D JTD 105 SX is a roomy family saloon from Fiat’s 1997–2003 range; the Marea Weekend is its estate sibling. It offers practical passenger space and a separate boot, sitting among affordable family cars rather than city cars or SUVs. The 1.9-litre diesel is suited to commuting and family travel, especially for buyers seeking an economical older car with a distinctive Italian feel. Compared with common Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra rivals, it is now a less familiar sight; choose it for straightforward space, not modern features or performance. mycarcheck.com shows only two checks and one distinct VIN for this version, a small sample. Those checks averaged 76,000 miles, 1,000 miles a year and five previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £100. Treat these as recorded snapshot figures, not a current market guide, and inspect each car’s history and condition carefully.
