Having owned many Fiats, they are amoungst my favorite cars. Ive never had ANY rust at all. I did have lots of lovely twin cam engines that loved eating V8's for speed and acceleration. They didnt ueat much fuel back in the day, even with twin twin throat side draught webers attached. Four lovely Brembo disk brakes, independant suspension, radial tyres from new, not rags, four headlights, intelligent wiring where you switch the ground NOT 12 volts, rack and pinion steering, and of course five on the floor. Bucket seats, seat belts as standard, velour apolstery, carpets on the floor, full set of instruments.
They also make very fast race cars. Do I need go on ?. Mind you I have never owned or driven a toplino AKA mouse car. They also make very fast race cars. Do I need go on ?. Mind you I have never owned or driven a toplino AKA mouse car.
If I take a General motors offereing at the same time as I owned Fiats ( and later Alfa Romeo's ) its 4 off 6" drum brakes, a bench seat, vinyly apolstery, rubber floor mats, three on the tree. feeble headlights, radiators about half the size they should have been, four bearing six cylinder engines and to top it off, A set of idiot lights on the dash that when they came on meant: If you look in the rear view mirror, that rubbish laying on the road behind you is a set of bearings, YOURS.
Still, If I could afford it, I would still buy Italian!!.
