If I could pick -10 for this car I would. The by far most unreliable car I've ever had, hateful car FIAT = Fix It Again Tomorrow. Not enough room here to list all the faults!

Looks good when clean.

Comfortable seats. Accelerator pedal too high for motorway cruising, giving ankle ache after ½ hour.
