Marea Fiat Marea Weekend 20v

get some proper pics posted you bloody artist

fingers crossed you have more luck with this one.

you've got 3bhp more than me, fancy your chances?

Looks nice, best ever engine.

Can't you afford colour photographs or something

Nice car will this one last until xmas?

Bit harsh saying they're built rubbish because the aluminium mirror base coating breaks down in the UV. Other cars have much bigger problems than some cosmetic corrosion!

Anyway like the alloys.

Thought you were out of work?. How you going to fuel the beast?

Looks pretty good mate

I hope for your sake that the power steering pipe never needs replacing lol

another guzzler, that not going to last long then

At least it's a Fiat.

TBH im quite suprised at just how economical its been so far.

I filled it up on collection (was completly empty) which was just over £60 (approx 60 litres). Since picking up ive done 180 miles and only just just dropped under the 3/4 mark. Shall see how it goes but im currently on the way to getting atleast 400miles to the tank which is great for a 2.0 20v imo.

As for my comment on the build quality. Yes it is a tiny problem but its a problem to me fiat should have used better paint

thats quite nice, are those alfa 155 wheels?

i want you to say it on the public forum!

yup 155 alloys Not bad condition either but not my kinda thing. Suit an alfa though

thats a nice looking car

love the wheels

Looks good.

Would love to see some nice colour shots of it tho. Don't see many nice photos of white Weekends.

Whats the plan?

Autotrader,then Pistonheads maybe...?



Nice car

You'll be doing well if you average 32 to the gallon combined cycle but I've got 37 mpg out of my 20v on long runs.

I usually go for 300 - 330 miles between fill ups, it then swallows around 45 - 50 litres. You'll notice the fuel needle start to drop quite quickly once you hit 250 miles, I know mine does

EDIT: you're right about the paint, it is a bit fragile.

i get about 200miles to a tank just in the week.

can get 32mpg if i sit at 60 on the motorway on a long trip

thats one of the side effects of performance mods and a heavy foot, mpg suffers.

Well the petrol is holding up alo better than I expected so im happy anyway and im not exactly light footed all of the time
