what is your favorite Fiat?

Fiat Dino

[Scientist]

I really like the old ones. Like this 8V Zagato, which would be my favorite.

Runner up was the Coupe 20V, I drove one of those and it is faster than I ever imagined!

Of course I was just joking, dude :p

[ShadowMoses]

Thank god... I nearly put you on the ignore list thingy :rolleyes: .

Does the dino count as fiat? I always classed it as ferrari.

[mcbrusen]

I would say the Multipla, atleast from the modern Fiats, Its a very useful car and i actually like its design. Just because they do something noone else has done before dont lock it out :p

[Burrito]

hmmm look at my avatar.... need I say more?

my dad drives a Marea Weekend 2.4 TD.... what a piece of junk! everything that can break down on a car has broken down on this thing..... :S

I can't wait for my 500 to be running again.... just a couple of weeks :)

[Falcon500]

We have a local hotel owner here whos a fiat 500 fan tiny little thing and painfully slow but hell it has charictor and i like it better then other ecconmy cars...the arabath version could actually top60mph i hear...

And that pic thats one of the sadest things i have ever seen that poor car :eek:

[Burrito]

I think the abarth versio is the 600 I don't think they ever did anything racy with the 500 :)

I'll post some pics of my car after I get the platework done (needs new paint badly)

[Falcon500]

Well according to the book C20th cars the arabath was a fiat 500 with a larger engine and some other mods it could top 87mph if you want more info i could type out the wholepassage if you really want.

[Burrito]

Nevermind the horsepower, it's the wonderful soundtrack from the five-pot that does the trick for me.

You had your chance, however, you prefered a tractor from Bavaria. Enough said. ;):D

Damn you... :p

And the other day I saw an '88 Alfa Romeo 75 America advertised for 3500€.

*No, don't think about it*

[Ingolstadt]

Fiat Punto HGT

Small, light weight, sporty interior, comes with a boom box (bass), sunroof, 1.8 liter punchy engine with 5 speed manual.

Easily my kind of desired hot hatch. Parked alongside Golf GTi, the HGT feels every bit like a proper hot hatch. Thou Golf looks nice as well, goes faster and handles better, this HGT is every bit more raw, fun and like I said, a proper hot hatch.

Fiat Multipla. The original.

Isn't that a rather steep price for those cars, even a good one?

Of favorite Fiats seen & driven, I once had a 2300 station wagon which was an excellent car. Earlier Fiats like these were real quality items and of course great to drive too. For regular models the 1500 MkIII is another personal favorite and enjoyed a good reputation here

[Matra et Alpine]

Yes to the 131 abarth and the X1/9 ....

BUT, my all time favourite Fiat has to be ..........

Fiat 124 Abarth Spider

Well, I'm not an expert on used cars but I think not.

And it has the glorious 3-litre Alfa Romeo V6 engine. That has to be at least worth 3450€ of the 3500€ asking price. :)

The Alfa V6 is one of the best-sounding engines I've ever heard at Bathurst :)

[Madman]

Many years ago, I owned a 1980 Fiat X-1/9. Problem was, it kept falling apart faster than I could put it back together!

Nevertheless, I still miss that car.

it's got to be the X1/9 for me, though the Fiat Dino and 8V are clearly superior in every measurable way.

This old 'Quail, you see, used to drive an X1/9. I loved it. It was slower than a 1996 Ford F-150 V6 (verified, sadly) and on four dryrotted Michelin X tires, probably pulled a .25 on the skidpad.

However, the unassisted steering was utterly alive with feel. The brakes were equally feelsome and the engine, all 90 horsepower of it, was superb.

The 1500 CC four banger was, effectively, half of a Ferrari 308 block. If you think this claim is bullshit then take the argument up with Alfred Cosentino, if he's still alive.

It was a car that squirmed and writhed underneath the driver. By God, it was thrilling to hustle my X1/9 down the challenging roads of the Ozark Mountains; every corner taken at speed meant sawing at the wheel like Nuvolari and absolutely dancing on the brake and gas to keep the front tires ahead of the rears.

I always knew that if I ever asked that whisker too much from it that it would spit me off the road, and it finally did. I'd had an especially bad beat playing snooker with an unskilled but lucky blowhard one night (the kind that plays every shot about twice as hard as required, but still gets away with it) and left the billiards hall for a minute or two to drive it off. On a familiar decreasing-radius corner on the edge of town, I lost it; one moment I was see-sawing at the wheel, the next I was stuffed under a fallen roadside tree.

I wasn't injured. I had a bruise or two and so did the car, but the spell was broken. Now, six years later, the car is still half-restored at the home garage of a hillbilly mechanic who owed my family money. I'll get it back one of these days and make a SCCA autocross special out of it, but I'll keep it street legal — I want another shot at that corner that caught me out all those years ago...

Squawk.

Fiat Multipla. The original.

The Multipla, it is said it is a direct descendant of the ugliest car on earth itself.

Hell, there must be some sort of name to live up to.

Didnt hear it for long they had a habit of braking down and catching fire here :(

Hi All!
My favorite is a 67 Fiat 124 Coupe - I think it was only made in 1 or 2 years & I never see any for sale. It looks like the 124 convertible but with a large greenhouse cabin. They always looks like Maserati's to me for some reason. I can't even find any images of one!

There are couple of photos in Matt's High-Res Hide-Out Fiat 124 thread (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/matt-s-hi-res-hide-out/14664-fiat-124-a.html). Excellent choice BTW, I have a soft spot for 124 Coupe too...
