This one looks like a late Alfa Spider |

Or 1979+ Spider 2000 on main? Anyway, yes, in the thumb a 1990+ Alfa Spider (only 2.0 was sold in Germany) |

Two different cars? Supposed to be the same car since it's one scene... |

The Fiat probably broke down mid-scene |

I have had many (almost 100) Fiats... They had many small problems (water inside and ligjhts) but not a single one made me stop and ask for an expensive fix. The single car that forced me to spend 6,600 euros in three months (for transmission and many other troubles) was a very famous German made expensive car. The problem referred to automatic transmission was that every mechanic told me that such make's automatic transmissions have always problem at 150,000 km... I don't mention the make for obvious motivations. In the past it was one of the best built car in the world... |

My mechanic ['] told me the story about Fiat's bullet-proofing. His lady-client had the little collision, riding her Seicento with 1108 cc FIRE engine. Being upset she didn't notice crash-caused huge leak from radiator (placed just behind bumper so pretty crash-prone). And she drove 13 kilometers to mechanic garage, in heavy city traffic, around 40 minutes. As he told: - 'The poor Seicento smelled alike hot & broken electric iron. The engine was running still but red hot, all plastics close to engine and HV cables started melting. Oh, my God... We supposed the sad end of seized engine. However, it cooled down, we changed HV cables, the radiator, filled up coolant, checked all we can and this engine just ran fine! And served next few years.' -- Last edit: 2021-09-15 12:55:13 |

My parents drove Fiat cars for decades, then switched to French cars, notably Renault and Citroen. The cars that made us stop on the road are: the Fiat Uno 1.0 i.e. (several times, due to a fuel injection issue), the Citroen C8 HDi 120 (BSI unit issue which communicated a false signal of empty tank, happened two times in 50,000 km) and my two Citroen C3 (the HDi 115 Série 2 due to a failure of the common rail system, the new BlueHDi 102 officially for a failure of the particulate filter, but meanwhile it was frequently serviced due to issues with the clutch and the steering, now at 9,000 km it seems to gradually drive better). For what I can say for my experiences, the other Fiat-Lancia cars we had had various minor issues (I remember the abnormal oil consumption of the Lancia Dedra 1.6 16V, the fuel system issues of the Uno 1.4 i.e. and the unstable rear axle of the Lancia Y), while the only cars with zero problems we had were made by Renault (Laguna, Clio, Twingo). Also my grandpa's Audi 80 B4 lasted a very long time and had only later an issue with the reverse gear. My dad's new Land Rover Discovery Sport only had so far an issue with the AD-Blue tank, which broke down and "threatened" an engine stop in 100 km. |

I have to agree your statement about the Uno Fire 1.0 ie (mit Katalizator). My mother's one had the same problem but it started again. It was very, very boring toi drive in winter time for this problem but it never caused us to leave it desperate along a street. I have to admit that my mother's next car has been a Nissan Micra K11 still in use after almost 22 years. |

Yes same thing did ours one. I was very very little at time (my parents bought the car just after they got married), but my dad says that it happened several times and that it mostly started again after several attempts without requiring a tow truck. But it was indeed very boring: so when they soon decided to replace it with a larger car after my birth, they initially had thought to keep the Uno for my mom, who was driving an old Fiat 126 Bis, but then decided to sell both cars and for my mom they bought an Uno 1.0 i.e. Clip, a Polish import with the Brazilian 994 cc engine: also this car had some other issues with the fuel system for what I can remember (my mom recalls a sudden fuel leak one morning) and was therefore soon replaced by a new Lancia Y Elefantino. |
