i dont understand how people manage to get them going wrong all the time unless they arent servicing them :?:

even electricaly, these days there arent too many problems. the last really bad fiat for electrics was the tipo and old Croma. the early bravos and bravas were patchy too tbh, but apart from that, teh electrics have been relatively ok on Fiat models.

the most recent fiat group model with electric issues was the alfa 156 with the selespeed gearbox...avoid that at all costs :lol:

in general though, nobody i know (and i know alot of people with fiats) has any more bother than any other cars have.

they are a pain in the arse to work on though, thats one thing i will say about fiats, you need a swear box handy, everything is odd sizes and inaccsessible :lol:
