This vehicle won the '£13,501 - £16,500' class at the 2007 Towcar of the Year awards.
One of the great surprises in this year’s competition, the little Sedici is one of those cars you want to drive enthusiastically, and it pays off. The little Fiat (actually it’s made by Suzuki) stormed up our test track’s long 14% gradient in the third of its six gears, braked nicely to a halt when asked to do so and handled a 17% stop and restart with no problem.
Rear end styling makes the Sedici a useful load carrier – the test car took the whole of our typical load with all seats available – and the only thing I disliked about its styling was the double A-pillar at the front end, which obstructs the forward view. Operating costs are reasonable, given the added complication of 4x4 transmission.
