The Fiat Bravo and Fiat Brava are small family cars manufactured from 1995 to 2001. The Brava / Bravo are actually two versions of the same car - the Bravo is a three-door hatchback and the Brava is a longer five-door hatchback. Bravo and Brava replaced the successful but outdated Tipo. Only after appearing was the Bravo / Brava recognized as Car of the Year. The Bravo / Brava had both a sedan and a station wagon called the Fiat Marea, which is praised for its large boot. Another car based on the Bravo / Brava platform is the strangely designed six-seater MPV Fiat Multipla, which appeared in 1998. Production of the Bravo / Brava was discontinued in late 2001, and the car was replaced by a brand new Fiat Stilo, which later turned out to be very unsuccessful commercially.
