The Fiat Tipo sedan is a practical, no-nonsense family saloon that focuses on roomy, usable space and comfortable everyday driving rather than flashy pretence. It won't set pulses racing, but its sensible packaging, economical running costs and honest charm make it a smart pick for buyers who prefer substance over style.
