Re: Fiat, do they make cars that last?

@Andy 97 - Coupe Fiat, from new, twenty years coming up, 170k miles. I know of some with almost double that mileage. Plus a kit car powered by a coupe engine, which is completely manic! And a diesel Bravo six years old that I've put a hundred thousand on in the last three years.

'Dubious build quality' applies to so many cars these days; in reality they're *all* an order of magnitude better put together than the cars I knew as a kid... how often do you have to decoke the engine these days, or take the plugs out and stick them under the grill before the car would start in winter? How many are a pile of rust on the drive in three years?
