Yeah, thats what worries me, the servicing is capped for 5 years and only annual but parts and repair costs after the 3 year warranty are a concern, hopefully the dsg issues are all in the past

To many people I have chatted with have had issues with Fiats re parts (Tasmania) and disliking their dual logic automatic.

Any car we get must be 5 door, small, auto, high-ish seats and light steering.
I suspect the Celerio will be the winner
