Hi phil
Yes new Doblò Cargo is launching at the same time. The Fiat Professional website will be updated very soon - you can see the vehicle in Fiat Professional dealers from March 6th.
We loved our Doblo - and the new one looks great - it was just spoilt by faults which appeared early in ownership and just couldn't be cleared (apparently) Now we have got to the end of our warranty FIAT have washed their hands of giving us back that new(ish) car experience we never had.
Is the new one designed to be maintained by the current dealer network?

hi
am afraid with the complexity of todays vehicles ,and all the electronics ,it's a dealer job ,unless you buy a OBD reader....i can't see how fiat can wash their hands of your current doblo ,if you have defected it within the warranty period which you did ,and even technical couldn't cure the faulty doors....they should have gave you another car ..as i guess the fault was there from new...FIAT have a responsibility to repair a vehicle ,under warranty ,they can't just say ,we can't fix it wait for the warranty to run out ,and then say tough...that's the type of practice you expect from arthur daily ,not a global brand
The sad thing is the complex parts have been OK. This a car made and intended to survive in Turkey, Brazil and Korean, where the mechanics may be good but the infrastructure is basic. That a UKdealer can't get doors to run true (and a vast number of other things repaired) in 3 years is tragic. That when FIAT UK get involved they waste 4 months, supervise one failed attempt and then walk away saying my expectations are unreasonable because the car has done 65,000 miles illustrates that the stereotypical lack customer focus that they are famous for is systemic.
The dealer has been out and seen that the fix was incomplete but FIAT are implacable that their tech guys signed it off. They've let it get out of warrranty and now they say I've let it go on too long. Priceless!
