Little Fiat

[bobbie22]

What is the ABers opinion on Fiats? Am not sure which one, but its a very little car.

What's really funny is if you look at Vaukhall and Fiat in the what car reliability survey they are right next to each other!

And right next to BMW! (Probably because cost of repair is factored in)

I guess there is no way of predicting that then al? You are right that it is nippy :o) - I have done less than 14k miles from new in the last 3 and a half years.

Our other car is a Skoda Octavia estate - it's a thing of beauty and lovely to drive (according to my OH!) - not really what bobbie is looking for though!

No Annie
Just keep an eye out for sudden rough running and bad/fail to start. Then take a look at it and clean .. or replace.
AVOID Renault dealer for parts.
Use GSF for brakes and clutch/service bits.
Crank sensors on eBay.
