Well that's a difficult one! I prefer the S2  especially the back end. The S3 I feel has a better quality feel to the interior but Fiat imho spoilt the lines with the rear lights and body mouldings which did make it feel more grown up.......but I would quite happily have both in my garage........why ask these unanswerable questions......  Undecided

Series 2 all the way. Much prettier, better wheels, much better interior than on the series 3. More quality feel on items like external door handles on a series 2 as they're metal not plastic. The series 3 has the more powerful 2 litre engine of course but I can live without that Grin

Series 2 because the plush great looking interior  including the original dashboard the more harmonious tail and great looking steel wheels.
Series 3 because there was a 2 litre and also a Volumetrico

Series III because we had one and because of the elegance oriented style of the car instead of sporty/extravagant style of the series II. A brand new series III shows lots of details (colour and material) especially studied to achieve elegance, which tend to disappear when car gets old and tarn. It's a great car, considering that it's just a third series of an outdated model and that fiat didn't spend lots of time and money defining the whole car. Brilliant....

I'd have to pick series 2,  I think the series 3 side mouldings make it look too heavy.  I may prefer the series 2 as it is closest to my Brava.  In response to a previous post in this subject... I have full velour interior in my Brava. Mike Stinson

Well as a series 3 owner, I do prefer the cleaner lines of the series 2. If I could have found a good one I'd have gone for one, but with so few left in reasonable condition you can't be choosy Smiley. both awesome cars of course, and this is really a subjective question, but I have been toying with the idea of removing all the series 3 plastic exterior trim off mine (there was a fantastic looking 4 door made up like a sport on one of the threads, don't have it to hand)

That's the one Hieni, thank you Smiley

Having rebuilt loads of mechanical stuff on mine, including brakes and cooling, things are on hold whilst I buy a new house and hopefully move come the spring, then it will be full speed ahead to hopefully join you folks in May, but I suspect there will be no budget this year to tackle the bodywork. This car however is the inspiration for what I want to achieve with mine, might just take a year or so more than planned to get there. However, waited a few years to but one *cough* so no rush.......

Top marks to Norbert Hieni, please pass on my thanks for the inspiration
