2000 Fiat Marea ELX review from Turkey
"Comfortable, large (especially baggage), good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the trigger at 75.000 km despite I was shown "shold be changed at 95.000 km" in Marea manuel book.
I had a injection light problem at 80.000 km related with 2 th and 3 th pistons injection controller unit. Car doesn't go despite I fully pump the gas. I changed it.
General comments?
If I compare with my 2000 Toyota VVT-I, it has more maintenance cost.
But the services materials are more cheaper than Toyota.
In a way they are balanced with each other.
I hear the noisy engine at first 100 km of road in long distance journeys.
