The Fiat Tipo is a small family hatchback (it was also available as an estate) that sought to take on some giants of the car market, in the shape of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, as well as lots of other very accomplished rivals. The Tipo was desperately average, and as such, struggled to make inroads against its established competitors. Now that it's only available as a used car, that's not really changed, although it is extremely cheap.
