A question for you. Are you happy with your car?
Personally I'd swap all my Fiats for one nice Alfa, a 147 or 156.
I've always had Fiats but recently I've been asking myself why. I bought a 1996 Alfa Romeo 145 1.6 and prefer it to either my Brava or the Sei to the extent where neither of them are getting driven by me. It's better to look at, better to drive, better to... Well, it's better at everything!
This was reinforced by my Dad's new car, a 2006 Audi A4 2.0 TDi. It's a cracking car to drive, quick, well built and generally everything a Fiat isn't although it doesn't have the "character" of a Fiat. Going from driving that to taking the Brava out for a spin was a real eye opener.
The one Fiat I have a serious soft spot for is the original Panda, I'll always have one of these. This is mostly down to sentimental reasons and I love mucking about with them on a Saturday afternoon.
Anyway, my point is this. Probably none of us would be driving Fiats if we had our pick of cars, so why the hell do we spend so much time talking about them? Fiat produce cheap A to B transport, nothing more.
Discuss. :devil:
