What is the ottimo car?

ottimo refers to the Fiat Ottimo, a model under the Fiat brand. Below is an introduction to the Fiat Ottimo: 1. Interior: It adopts the design of the Fiat Viaggio, with no significant highlights in terms of styling and color schemes, except for slight changes in the seat design. The test drive model mainly features a dark upper and light lower color scheme, with the dashboard made of a combination of soft and hard materials, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. The car has a considerable number of storage compartments, and the trunk space is larger than expected, very flat. However, when the rear seats are folded down, they do not form a completely flat cargo platform, leaving a slope. 2. Engine: The entire series is equipped with a 1.4T engine, and the high-end models also feature a high-power version. In terms of transmission, the Ottimo has one more gear than the Viaggio, replacing the 6-speed dual-clutch with a 7-speed dual-clutch. This transmission addresses two issues present in the Viaggio: firstly, the shift speed has been improved, and secondly, the shift smoothness has been significantly enhanced.
I've been driving the Ottimo Viaggio for two years, and this compact hatchback from GAC Fiat has brought me quite a few surprises in my daily commute. The body lines are exceptionally smooth, and I particularly love its hatchback design, which handles grocery runs and carrying friends with ease. The 1.4T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers fuel consumption under 8L/100km in the city, and it's powerful enough for highway overtaking. However, I should mention that the transmission occasionally jerks at low speeds, and I later heard other owners reporting similar issues. The space is quite practical, with foldable rear seats for luggage, though the trunk opening is a bit high. Unfortunately, after Fiat exited the Chinese market, parts have to be sourced from overseas—it took three weeks to replace a sensor last time. If you're buying a used one now, a high-spec version can be had for around 30,000 to 40,000 RMB, but be sure to check the transmission records beforehand.
