Prince Brainier of Meccano Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Bought mine a few years ago and love it. Any one else that can look at one and not be sick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I found them interesting; however someone once said that Fait tried to think outside the box, but sadly only by putting wheels on the box... I'd still prefer one to a Ssangyong Rodius, any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark powell Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would only entertain this version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordfunker Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I always liked them, but then I think I understood what Fiat were aiming for, a roomy 6 seater in the same footprint as a normal hatchback. The Mk 2 version looked so dull when compared to the original, but then I’m a sucker for the ugly under dog. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 The best comment I remember about them was when two TV commentators were discussing the looks; one said something like: "It's fine if you're inside looking out, but for anyone on the outside.... yuck." To which the other replied: "Just like some people's faces...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigolf Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 My workmate had an original one as a s/h runaround. Cost him £300. Had it for two years and then it failed the MOT on front subframe rust- which apparently is a common problem and not weldable in situ. A new subframe from Fiat cost 300 quid, so he trawled the nations scrapyards and finally found one in North Wales ! They are obviously in short supply !
