1997 Fiat Marea HLX review from UK and Ireland
"A wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car. I've done over 40,000 miles in two and a half years with no problems. Its been across Europe on auto-routes and autobahns without missing a beat.
General comments?
Its comfortable, easy to park in town and quick if you need it to be. Its the first car that I enjoy motorway driving in.
My only mistake was buying a car without air-con, when its 30 degrees outside, its 50 degrees in the car.
