General comments?

This car it's a real, crap!

Expensive to keep, underpowered, gas guzzler, very poor built and unreliable.

As well the car, the services given by FIAT dealers also has a very poor quality, collect a very expensive price for badly services, I had to took the car one, two, three, four... ten times to fix something!

A very poor support, given by the dealers, not being rare the times where they lacked parts.
