Fiat Stilo ? Good car/Bad car

[Gio]

I know nothing about the modern Fiats but I have to say one of the best small cars I ever had was a Fiat 127 - that was the one that looked a lot like the early Fiesta.

It had a tiny engine - can't remember the size but I know it was smaller than the datsun Cherry I had which was 988cc - and it pulled up a steep hill near here with 4 of us and the dog, just like the hill wasn't there! Put the rear seat down and you could get 2 pushbikes in the back without much difficulty.

Reliability wasn't bad but it was a nightmare if you needed a part cos they changed the parts many times during a production run so the VIN number was no guide to which part you needed! The only reliable way to get the right part was to take the old one off and take it along to the Fiat dealer - and even then they might have to order it from Italy!

Fiat 127's started out with a 650cc engine later models went up to about 850cc and because it was a big lump of an engine some were bored out to 1100cc for racing
