Peter,
Is the Fiat going to be more reliable than they used to be? I have heard we are going to be able to get them here eventually but ... I do not plan to "upgrade" from my E-30 for a long time. When one already has the chariot of the gods, one need not even frequent the showrooms. Bob in Lake Havasu |

As the somewhat abivalent owner of a PT Cruiser, all I can say is if Chrysler is behind Fiat, the odds are 50-50 the car will crap out on the test drive. And everything at the certified Chrysler repair facility is pretty simple. You just multiply $800 by an integer. My wife just had to have a PT Cruiser. She thought they were so cute.

Fiat had a nasty reputation, mostly due to cars they sold at the 80's, early 90's.
I don't have one myself, but people over here are more content with them than they used to. The Fiat 500 came out very well, it has been a success! It's a shame such a great design doesn't have much more new technology... Fiat is developing a new twin cylinder air cooled compact engine, to power the small car range and the hybrids to come...

Well, the "Bmw"," mini cooper" is a Chrysler product made in Brazil and they are pretty reliable the newer ones anyhow. Of course there's nothing Bmw about the mini pisses me off they carry the badge though |
