Hi everyone!
Recently I became the owner of a Fiat Marea Weekend 1.6 Weekend st Moritz.
My love for cars (especially obscure Italian cars) started sitting in the back of my dad's Tempra SW. I loved that car. When it was time to replace it I begged my father to look at the gorgeous Marea SW but eventually the Tempra was replaced by the horrid Renault Laguna...
My first car was a Lancia Gamma Berlina S2 that I still own and cherish. Up to a month ago my daily transportation was a 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.3 diesel (company car). Since I changed jobs I had to buy a private car and it became one of my first loves; a Fiat Marea Weekend.
It has driven 190000km (120000 miles?) and is in pretty good overall condition.
Some small things that annoy me:
- The exterior has been neglected so the clear paint has come of on the bonnet and a bit on the roof.
- The steering wheel isn't centered
- The drivers seat needs new foam
- God that 1.6 is slow...
- window wipers don't come back to the correct position once you turn them off.
- I need a new leather Gear knob...
- A leather interior would be nice... Is it possible to put a Lybra or 156 back seat in the Marea? I know you can install the front seats of these models.
- The sound speakers are awfull.
But overall it's a great car with a vast amount of space and it drives really well. I also find the the overall use of materials in the cabin outstanding considering it's age.
Anyway.. Here are some photos:
