We had three of these: they can carry 6 adults with a big boot (7 seaters had cramped child only rear seats, and no boot). We would take out seats and use them as a large van, carrying the PA for a 5 piece band, and when camping, use a roof box, all of the gear would fit, in a footprint no longer than a focus. Brilliant.

I had an original Multipla for a little under 9 years, bought at 8.5k miles and 130k miles when it was written off. It was a great car and mostly reliable. The mirrors are underappreciated, and very useful for reverse parking. You could slide across the car and get out either side. The seats were all individually upright, comfortable chairs. The visibility was great, and the cabin was very light and airy. The perfect Multipla would be one with 2.4 five-cylinder diesel out of the 156 (10-valve for preference). Full disclosure: I've owned 9 Citroëns, and I think that the Avantime is lovely.

When the Multipla came out MY reaction was one of awe! You see, I appreciate DESIGN that solves problems, and this vehicle was a non-van solution to the MPV conundrum! IT WORKED, and in doing so, asked if we needed to look at cars as utility vehicles rather than trying to fool everyone into believing the "dad-mobile" was a sexy thing! This was a car that asked you to think, rather than chase shiny baubles! I thought it was comical, but a rather bold solution to the urban carshare or school run! I have always admired those who EXPLORE ideas and the products that break moulds! (Dyson was another, more successful example!)

I had a 2nd generation Multipla for 5 years. I wanted a 1st gen, but by the time I bought mine, most of them were getting on. I may be one of the few, but I think they look awesome. I love it when designers dare to be different, especially for cars like people carriers that are the most dull things in the earth! The Multipla is also outrageously practical. 6 full sized seats, rather than 5 full sized and 2 child seats like you get in most MPVs. And it turns into a van in 5 minutes! We used mine for a house move and it was a life saver. The biggest drawback was actually its fragility. The suspension was forever failing MoTs and it was costing £500 to replace trailing arms. It got to the point where several garages refused to work on it as it was such a pig! In the end it got replaced with a 325 touring M sport, but it did 150k.

Thanks for this review, James. I owned a Multipla 1.9 JTD in Malaysia between 2003 and 2013 - basically right up until the local Fiat distributor packed up and left, leaving me with no way to get parts and service (most mechanics wouldn't work on it). It was a bittersweet ownership experience. The ride's actually pretty good when new, but gets really choppy with age once all the rubber bushings go hard. It's a great car for road trips - the seating arrangement encourages interaction between your passengers, the brightly coloured fabric trim is very inviting and the big windows make it feel a lot more spacious than it is. It's genuinely a very fun car to be in. Some markets don't have the cargo-area cover, so you can stack a fair amount of luggage vertically. Even when fully loaded, the 1.9-litre diesel pulls really well and it's generally a fun thing to chuck into a corner. However, the biggest issues with it are chronic unreliability and the fact that it wasn't built to last. Almost everything breaks in a Multipla - from interior trim, to gearbox linkages, to camshaft pulleys and various pumps and sensors. I ended up spending a fortune keeping mine on the road. I probably wouldn't have gotten one again if I went back in time, but I miss my Multipla dearly. In fact, it's the only car I've ever owned that shows up in my dreams.

Good review these hold a special place for me. Had 3, turquoise petrol elx mk1, dark red petrol elx mk2, silver diesel elx mk1, chosen for their full size seats, 3 under 5’s needing seats abreast = multipla. Preferred mk1 for full bizarre looks, same width as a transit, had a factory fitted fridge/cubby in place of front centre seat in one. Loved the low window line, amazing practicality with seats out, decent boot for size, took us all camping on many occasions. Dont mention reliability, sunroofs both leaked water into headlining, when braking it made a lovely waterfall down the windscreen. Subframes went on two. Now drive Japanese. Would I have another multipla? yes without question for a beater and fun.

I am old enough to have been in my early teens when the Multipla was a thing and I had a guilty soft-spot for it. There was no denying the practicality of the thing, it seemed like a barn inside on top of having six seats, and while it could never be described as "beautiful", for an MPV it was at least instantly recognisable. MPVs of the day were al much-of-a-much-ness; all very dull and samey, so the Multipla being eye-poppingly different was kind of cool. It's like the Renault Avantime; everyone gave it grief but I think secretly everyone kind of liked it.

My mum had one in the early 2000s. She also had 4 children, so a small 6-seat MPV was ideal, and the only similar car was the Honda FRV. Hers was the 1.9 JTD, which is a fantastic engine, albeit the throttle would occasionally runaway leaving her revving up at the lights, and it developed a leak that sprayed diesel in front of the car. It went to the garage, and Fiat dropped it from the lift, meaning she had a yellow one for several weeks rather than the sunset red (orange) one that she had bought. The facelift removed the "high lights" (as we called them), which was probably a mistake - night time visibility with 6 forward facing lights was incredible.

I'm in Japan, and my parents had one when I was 5-6 years old. It was a weird but happy car, and owning it pulled our whole family into the "slightly unusual (for Japanese) European car" rabbit hole. This led us to privately import a diesel Citroen C4 Picasso (only available in petrol in Japan), a Renault Trafic (not available in Japan and only few examples exist here), and even buy a 1991 Renault 4. For us, this car was a gateway to Western car culture, a cherished childhood memory, and the origin of our love for car life as we know it now. Ugly, but unforgettable, and still lovely in my memories.

I had three over the course of 10 years. they are absolutely briljant. Yes the mirrorcontrols are in the ceiling, so what? Headroom is limited when the optional sunroof is fitted but that is the story for many cars. Yes it is wide but so are most cars today and ugly is in the eyes of the beholder. So is beauty. Rust is an issue in the UK and other country's where salt is not just used for boiled eggs but isn't that true for many many cars, including German ones? In the Uk but also in Swiss and Holland a special body kit was optional including lowering springs and 7.5x17" wheels. This transforms the way the car drives. It becomes genuinely fun to drive. I have owned one in central Italy with this kit and it was great fun to chuck about. I already notice interest in the Multipla growing and prices for decent series one cars are definately on the up. It seems people are finaly ready for one of the best but most understood cars of the 90's. Jason, however will not be one of them.

I too admire the multipla for it being designed "inside out" - its looks were a consequence of its concept. Also, I would like to point out that along with the Renault espace, it will likely become the only MPV people will still remember in the long run; I can see it becoming kind of a cult classic, if that isn't the case already. Because it is so daringly different and a product of creative thinking.

They made a polarising (although almost everybody thinks it's ugly), and people hated it. Then Fiat listened to the haters and dialed back the design...a bit too much for some. It went from this to looking like almost every other MPV out there. I mean Euro sized MPVs, not American sized minivans.

I worked at Europcar when these came out and, as most manufacturers do with newly released cars that they want to go mass-market, we got a bunch of them every month for a couple of years - my guess being it was part of a bulk deal with the Punto, Bravo/a and Marea (and that’s a car you need to try, especially in it’s ’performance’ guise). Anyway, I will carry with me to the grave the absolute look of horror on many an engineer’s, or indeed executive’s face as we delivered these to their offices and homes. You see, Europcar in its infinite wisdom, had no segment for it - a people carrier had to have seven seats. So, the fleet guys decided to class it as an estate which, along with the Marea and maybe a couple of the dangerously slow 1.8d Mondeos were all we had in that department. So, if you needed to move stuff, well what would you like Sir/Madam? I think this is where virtually all Multiplas started life in the UK as no-one bought a new one for cash, even me who famously invested in the next big thing - the Peugeot 1007! Laughingly, when the head honchos realised that our estate offering was a little lacking, and the fact we’d just taken over BCR (British Car Rental) who had the very desirable Rover supply contract, the nest thing to arrive on the fleet was….. no, not a 400 Estate, or even a 75 Tourer (although we did get these but as an executive option in time). No, we got Discoverys! Rather hilariously, we found that most regulars that needed the space instead elected to take an Escort van, as at least they could be excused for driving that. Fun times in Daily Rental, it really was….

We ran a 2001 Fiat Multipla JTD ELX for 11 years and, for the most part, it was an excellent car. For its size, the practicality was awesome. Six people could travel in comfort in full sized seats and we even towed a caravan with it. It embodied what I thought was quite typical Fiat back then - a brilliant idea that was ultimately rather lacklustre in its execution. It was underpowered with stupidly low gearing, in petrol or diesel guise and the interiors were overly utilitarian and lacked a lot of options available on rival vehicles.

Funnily enough, the Japanese did a version of this, the Honda FR-V. A 6 seater 3X2 row MPV and it looked ok

I’d genuinely rather drive one of these than the first generation Nissan Duke, I’ve got Audi’s , had beamers in the past and a fiat Panda from 2010, the Beamer has gone, the audi’s come and go but I’ll never get rid of my fantastic Panda. I’d happily drive the Multipla on the daily basis to work, love driving the fiat Panda , even on longer journeys to airport I’ll happy cruise on the Panda. Love ❤️ it.

Have one, wish I could have a diesel unit instead of the 1.6

It simply isn't ugly. It flows well, the stance is pretty good and it's full of character. It's not a Rodius, an Aztec, or BMW's dual horrors - the iX and xM. They're truly horrific.

I've always loved them, sold them when they were new and to be fair we did well with them. The facelift was a flop as was every Fiat facelift. They were so practical, great engines and the wide 4 sqaure stance gave them great handling. In terms of looks it's subjective, personally I love their quirkiness, the 'dolphin' nose - as you say the Vel Satis, Avantime, Cayenne Mk1, Audi A2 etc. The Honda FR-V did the same concept but in a boring format

Back on the late 00's and very early 2000's I bought cars for an MPV specialist, literally bought 1000's of them. Never bought a Multipla....

Automatic is not a left hand only thing...when dreaming of importing a car from Japan, I see these pop up for sale on those Japanese car places and they are almost always automatic.

The 50s version always looks to me like they mislabelled the drawing and the front became the back somehow.
