Ciao, Yaris! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Everyone chirps and yelps about Fiats, but my buddy rebuilt a 128 to his own specs and drove it for 28 years. Not only was it fast, but it handled well and got great FE. He now has an Echo, which he abuses the same way he did his 128...

However, Fiat of today has virtually no relationship with Fiat of yesterday: new management, new manufacturing facilities, new dealership setup. Better? Jury is still out. My buddy is lusting after an Abarth as we speak, BUT... Ask a Chrysler salesman about a Fiat, and you literally feel the room temperature plunge 15 degrees!

I for one hope you keep dropping by, SailDesign, your posts were always enlightening...
