Prince Brainier of Meccano Posted September 20, 2020 Report 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?
Colin Lindsay Posted September 21, 2020 Report 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.
mark powell Posted September 21, 2020 Report Posted September 21, 2020 I would only entertain this version...
Bordfunker Posted September 21, 2020 Report 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
Colin Lindsay Posted September 22, 2020 Report 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...."
trigolf Posted September 23, 2020 Report 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 ! Gav
