    I'd prefer a more reliable car rather than one you have a constant struggle with to keep running.

    And of course American bumpers make a big difference to reliability.

    I'll take an American car over a Fiat for reliability any day of the week.

    From mid-engined obscurity comes the Autozam AZ-1 complete with gullwing doors. Also the (imo) less attractive Honda Beat

    Suzuki Cappuchino also appears to be mid-engined, in literal sense, albeit with motor ahead of cabin

    So you prefer a car that doesn't start, over one that catches fire?

    Both better than boring german and japanese. Fire is fun and you can expand your swearing vocabulary on a car that doesn't start.

    My late auntie had a Fiat 132 (bought 2nd-hand, at that) which I have to say was pretty damn reliable over her 9 year tenure.

    So perhaps what I should have written was: the slow burn Fiat (rust) vs a fast burn Pontiac (flames)
