1997 Fiat Marea SX review from Poland
"Good looking, but fast-fading"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems with the front suspension (after 40000 km, replaced of both suspension arms).
Leakage of oil from the transmission.
Noisy working the hand brake lever (due rusted cord).
Damaged air bag.
Corroding aluminium cases of the rear mirrors.
General comments?
Good looking Italian style, unfortunately very delicate - especially the suspension.
Powerful engine, good acceleration and maximum speed higher than the manual states.
