1979 Fiat 131 Supermirafiori review from Austria
"After 20 years I still love this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The generator broke at 150,000km.
The brakes need work every two months.
Of course there's rust after 22 years!!
General comments?
The reliability of this car is incredible for its age.
It is very sportive to drive (very easy to drift!) and doesn't need much petrol.
Spare-parts are easy to get and very cheap.
The car is still looking good.
The gear-box is perfect. Short ways and easy to shift.
The cabin could offer more space!
