How it scores for you10 scores
Pure box-on-wheels utility at a fleet-tool price — the balky nine-speed automatic and rental-grade cabin are the cost of all that space.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 10 recalls was serious. About 4% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -4 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 48% of cars we track.
Cargo volume isn't published for this car.
Tall, boxy packaging gives excellent headroom and easy access in Wagon form.
Car-like for a van thanks to its Fiat Doblo platform, which is the faintest of praise.
Fleet-grade cabin; a 5-inch screen was the highlight of the options list.
Upright seating and a busy unladen ride; noise levels are commercial-grade.
Typical resale value for a minivan.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
