Brazilians are among the people who love cars the most, and besides buying them simply out of passion, for leisure or work, many people make a living buying and reselling vehicles. Therefore, keeping track of depreciation rates is crucial to avoid losses. With that in mind, we at Senhor Carros have compiled this list of the 20 worst Fiat cars for resale. 

It's important to point out that our list was compiled based on the depreciation shown in the FIPE table. If you work with buying and selling cars or are simply looking for a vehicle to call your own and don't want to lose money on resale, you can't miss our list. Let's go?

Check out now which are the 20 worst Fiat cars for resale. 

The 2005 Palio Weekend 1.8 was a good vehicle, with a 1.8 Flex engine capable of producing up to 110 horsepower. It had enough space to carry many people, including comfortably in the back seat, in addition to a large trunk. Among experts and owners, the main problem pointed out was that when loaded, the model struggled a bit and lost power, in addition to increased fuel consumption, but in general, it fulfilled (and still fulfills) its intended purpose. The model appears on the list of the worst Fiat cars for resale due to its depreciation, which was 16,361 from 2019 to 2020. Currently, its value is estimated in the range of R$ 16,000.

The Fiat Doblo has always divided opinions, mainly due to its unique and distinctive look, being suitable for both passenger transport and work. The 2017 Adventure version, specifically, is equipped with a 1.8 Flex engine capable of producing up to 130 horsepower, with a five-speed manual transmission and slightly above-average fuel consumption in both city and highway driving, even when fueled with gasoline or ethanol. Its depreciation rate is 16.40% and its current value is around R$ 56 thousand. 

The Fiat Strada is a small pickup truck with a very successful history, having sold over 1 million units. The 1999 model fulfilled its promise in a simple and functional way. Its 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 106 horsepower was a good option for those who used it for work; however, at that time, the model still lagged behind its direct rival, the Saveiro. The depreciation rate of the model is 16,44% and its value is estimated in the range of R$ 10,700.

Here we have another model from the Weekend family that suffered significant depreciation. This particular model gained fame due to its metallic red color option. The engine was gasoline-powered and had 106 horsepower. However, when driven with a full trunk, the model lost performance. The depreciation in one year reached 16,61%, bringing the value to the R$ 8,500 range. 

Although it's a great car, the Fiat Palio Weekend Adventure is yet another one to appear on our list of the worst Fiat cars for resale. Equipped with a Flex engine capable of delivering up to 132 horsepower on ethanol, the model was a great option for those with large families who needed a lot of space. The model's depreciation rate is 16.68% and its value today is around R$ 45 thousand. 

The Marea is a model that many people naturally don't want to buy, either as their own vehicle or for resale due to its infamous history of mechanical problems, including some cases of fires. The Marea attracted attention because of its 1.8 gasoline engine with 132 horsepower, a power above the norm for the time. However, mechanical setbacks ended up ruining it. Currently, its depreciation rate is 16,87% and its value is estimated in the range of R$ 11 thousand.

This version is a special edition of the Punto that gained some standard features such as a multifunction steering wheel, parking sensors, voice commands, black headlight bezels, rear spoiler, and alloy wheels, intended to position it as an intermediate version, but still based on the Essence trim. Equipped with a 1.6 Flex engine capable of generating up to 117 horsepower, it's a good option for both city and highway driving. However, its depreciation from 2019 to 2020 was 16,971,000, which is negative for deals involving the model. Its value is currently fixed in the range of R$37,000. 

The Fiat Palio City EDX was another vehicle that fulfilled its purpose very well: to be an affordable, low-maintenance model that could also be used for highway commuting. Equipped with a 1.0 gasoline engine that produced 61 horsepower, it had modest performance, but it delivered what it promised. Its depreciation reached an index of 17,18% and its value today is estimated in the range of R$ 8 thousand. 

The Grand Siena was Fiat's obvious choice to replace the Siena and was well-received by a segment of the public seeking something more robust; however, its high prices at the time of launch meant that the model did not achieve good sales figures. Equipped with a 1.6 Flex engine capable of delivering up to 117 horsepower, it offers comfort, convenience, and power in just the right measure, but unfortunately, it is on the list of the worst Fiat cars for resale due to its depreciation rate of 17.7% (%). The model is currently sold in a price range of R$43,000 (RTP4T). 

Here we have a literal sister of the previously mentioned model, which occupies the 16th position on our list. The difference here is that this model features Locker technology, which helps it drive on rougher terrain, such as dirt roads and even more potholed or cobblestone streets. The depreciation rate is 17,71% and the price range is estimated at around R$ 43 thousand. 

The Fiat Strada Trekking was another multi-purpose vehicle that was very successful in the Brazilian automotive market, widely used for leisure by singles and couples without children, as well as by people who needed to use its cargo bed for work. Equipped with a 1.6 Flex engine with up to 117 horsepower when fueled with ethanol, due to its lightness in terms of body and power, its performance was highly praised both in the city and on the highway. Unfortunately, its depreciation rate of 17,94% places it among the worst Fiat cars for resale. Currently, its list price is around R$31,000. 

The Fiat Uno Mille Way was a different version of the Uno, as it featured a slightly higher suspension, making the car more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Equipped with a 1.0 flex engine capable of producing up to 66 horsepower, its performance was modest but functional, with good fuel consumption, inexpensive maintenance, and functionality both in cities and on highways. However, its depreciation rate was a surprise: an incredible 18,461 TP3T. Its value today is in the range of R1 TP4T 18 thousand. 

The Fiat Brava became known as the brother (or cousin) of the Marea, since it shared many parts and even the mechanics of the model that became popularly known as a "bomb." With a 1.6-liter gasoline engine producing 106 horsepower, its performance was good; however, the model was also considered fuel-inefficient. Its reputation, acquired from the Marea, was already a problem for resale; now, its depreciation rate of 18,68% became another obstacle to its sale. Currently, its price is listed in the range of R$ 7,500.

Here we have another member of the Palio Weekend family. Similar to what happens with its competitor – Chevrolet, with several Monza models that depreciate rapidly – this model, like the others mentioned in this list, offers good interior space, performance, and fuel economy, and also features Locker technology, a literal aid for driving on rough terrain. The depreciation rate is 18.75% and the estimated value is around R$ 45 thousand. 

The Fiat Palio Ex Century was a model that, at the time, aimed to offer something more than the basic and classic Palio models. The Ex Century was available in 2- and 4-door versions, with body-colored bumpers, intermittent rear wiper, and a lighting kit including fog lights and a brake light. It was powered by a 1.0-liter gasoline engine producing 70 horsepower, offering good performance in both city and highway driving, moderate fuel consumption, and affordable maintenance. Its depreciation rate is 19.52%, with examples found for around R$ 8 thousand. 

The 2017 Fiat Punto Essence dualogic 1.6 is another model that, upon its launch, aimed to offer improvements and serve as a superior option to the basic model, with a series of standard features, a 1.6 flex-fuel engine with up to 117 horsepower, and the famous five-speed dualogic transmission. Although it's a distinctive model, it hasn't escaped the list of the worst Fiat cars for resale, as its depreciation rate is 19.96%. Its current list price is around R$ 40,000. 

We have another Doblò that, due to low public acceptance, did not perform well in sales. The Essence is equipped with a 1.8 Flex engine capable of delivering up to 132 horsepower on ethanol, with excellent performance even when loaded with people or cargo; however, it is another one of the worst Fiat cars for resale due to its current depreciation rate of 20.94%. Its list price is around R$56,000. 

Here we have another example of the Palio Weekend family, this time we're talking about the Adventure model with a 1.8 Flex engine capable of generating 132 horsepower when fueled with ethanol. Another car with good performance for both work and family outings thanks to its ample interior space and large trunk. Unlike some versions shown here, this one does not have locker technology. Its depreciation rate is 21.04% and its list price is around R$ 41 thousand. 

In second place on our list of the worst Fiat cars for resale is another Marea, this time the SX 1.8 2002. As mentioned earlier, the model, regardless of version and year, has gained the unfortunate reputation of being a problematic car, a reputation that is hard to forget. The model in question is equipped with a 1.8 gasoline engine with 132 horsepower, offering good performance but somewhat high fuel consumption. However, its depreciation rate is rather high, having now reached 22,17%. Its list price is around R$ 8 thousand. 

And the champion among the worst Fiat cars for resale is the Fiat Doblo Adventure Tryon Locker. Equipped with a 1.8 Flex engine capable of generating up to 132 horsepower when fueled with ethanol. The model, which also features locker technology, did not show good sales levels and has a depreciation rate of 24,12%, which is very high! Its list price is fixed in the range of R$ 60 thousand. 

As mentioned at the beginning of our article, this list is based on depreciation rates provided by the FIPE table and is not related to market acceptance of the models or their individual characteristics.
