Sorry guys if anybody loves Fiat but i'm just going by my personal opinion and experience with these cars!
 
I'd have to agree with you really. I love the Coupe, but i don't particularly like everything else, bar the new Panda 4x4 which is fantastic. The only one i really hate is the seichento (s/p).
 
The little Uno Turbo's are fast as hell - always a car i wondered why wasnt in Gran Turismo after i seen the old Panda - coupe's are nice!

I actually think the Cinquecento is worse than the Seicento - but the truth is they are both crap! 👍
 
I'll join, if the club includes vintage Fiats and Fiat-Abarths. I'm particularly fond of the Fiat-Abarth 124 and the Abarth tuned 500s.

As far as modern Fiats, the Coupe is cool, and I admire the old Multipla for sheer surreal wackiness.
 
Don't forget the quirky stylings of the Fiat Ritmo:

And evil presence of the 131 Abarth:

And sheer...covertability of the infamous Fiat/Bertone X1/9:

That Ritmo is cool looking.

I have a 124 Abarth model with the exact same paint scheme as the picture Jon posted!
 
I lost all faith in FIAT when they brought out the Multipla. I remember Jack had a FIAT Brava but it had engine problems, typical.

The coupe is fairly good looking but some of the lines aren't to my liking. I'd have a FIAT punto but I've heard lots of bad reliability stories.

All said though, I would gladly have a FIAT doblo Sandstorm

Welcome Toronado!

@Evan: The Punto looks ok in some specs, but the interior is just 👎 My mum had to hire one while our car was being repaired for something. We discovered that the accelerate and brake pedals are so close, that everytime she stopped at a junction or a roundabout, she pressed both pedals and we were sitting there motionless, revving at 4000rpm. We looked pretty stupid.

Pretty car^

Why don't you put the name of each member's fave Fiat next to the names in the member list, Jon?
 
Anyone remember the Fiat Dino?

It had the 2.0/2.4 litre engines that were used in the Ferrari 206/246 Dinos. Not a bad looking car, either.
