- The #Fiat 127’s introduction, in 1971, is one of the most significant chapters of Fiat’s #history, as it finally brought the company’s superminis into the modern era. This video is about the first series of the #Fiat127, built between 1971 and 1977.
The Fiat 127 was a runaway hit for the Turinese automaker, breaking the one million units mark in late 1974 and becoming the best-selling automobile in Europe for several years.

I had a soft spot for the 127Sport, in orange like the 131 Mirafiori Sport!I would have both in my fantasy garage.
Like the history, Had my first 127 sport in 1987, My wife pass her driving test in one, Black 127 sport, Have had a few over the years, most of my life, and still drive a 127 cl 1979, Nice film thank you
Thank you very much indeed! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
mom had had a 127 in sahara yellow. in 1978 we emigrated from czechoslovakia to switzerland in it. this car ride has changed my life forever ....
I bet it did! Thank you for sharing this memory with me!
My first car was a 12-year-old 127 with 17.5K miles on the clock and a full tank of petrol from a bought from an old lady for £120. It was supposed to be red but was more like faded tomato orange. I remember spending ages trying to thaw-out the frozen petrol cap lock during winter by heating the key with a lighter whilst in the petrol station. It eventually was handed to my mother who changed gears like she was mixing a pudding so much so that we had to weld the gearstick back on after it snapped off.
Cool story, thank you for sharing it!
Hi Matteo, I have been showing your videos in our Fiat Car Club meetings and they are much appreciated here in Australia. Plenty of 127s were sold here although sadly only a few remain.
Hi Roger, thank you!!!
I’m so happy that you and the Fiat Club members appreciate my videos. As you’d expect, 127s aren’t rare here in Italy, despite being scrapped en masse during the 1990s and 2000s. People now have started to realize their historic significance and I’m seeing more and more examples being restored or preserved, and that can only be a good thing 👍
Cheers from Turin!
@@Matteo_Licata It would be great to catch up when I am next in Turin. I was going to be there for an Auto Historians conference in April but they have had to postpone it. Great to see the simpler FIATs getting the respect they deserve ... the 15 I have are all well loved.
Absolutely: please feel free to send me an e-mail at info@roadster-life.com when you come back to Turin, I’ll be glad to meet you in person.
Wow, 15 Fiats! That’s a sizable collection indeed… Which models do you have?
@@Matteo_Licata Hi again, my Fiat collection starts with a 1928 503F, a 1949 1500E, 4 x 1100-103, 1200 cabriolet, 850T Camper, 1400A, 1800B, 3 x 1500C, a 211RB tractor and something else. I shall definitely drop you an email
We bought one in the late 90's for 600FIK, which is like 150€ today, and the car albeit run down was so much of fun! It's starter was bust, but it wasn't a problem, as you could runstart it alone. Didn't really use any gasoline and was relatively nice to drive, and spaceous! Local market bursted to laughter once, when we made our entrance with that yellow little devil, when 4 men all over 190cm got up from the car. "How could you all fit in there!?" almost comfortably was our anwer.
Nowadays 150€ won't buy you even a near wreck 127.. :)
Excellent thank you...I learned to drive in a 127 with my Father, he was more challenging than the car !
What can I say besides that in the 70s and 80s EVERYONE had one of those here... If they didn't, they probably had the R5.
Huge succes the 127!
Agree. But in the second half of the 80's, replace 127 for Uno, and that would be correct.
@@Speeder76 so, are you implying I did a mistake? Did I said something wrong?
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod No, just saying that Uno appeared in 1983 and from that date, it everybody wanted one.
Now... no production, nothing new and innovative from FIAT... What a shame! Quality video as you always do! Keep it up! 😍🇮🇹
A huge success in Greece in the 70's and early 80's. I remember counting 127s from a bus during a 20 kilometer drive from Pireaus to Glyfada. The total was 46! Great video, as always, Matteo!
Wow! Well, it would have been a similar result anywhere in Italy during that time. But rust and abuse have claimed most of them now. These models had little to no rust protection, so even in a milder climate they rusted with gusto! Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the video!
This was my first car. I drove to school in it. Was a lovely car. Just had to leave my foot down on the accelerator most of the time and it was fast enough
Thank you Matteo for this great video. My parents had 2 of the series 1 127s between 1974 and 1976. I grew up on the rear seat of these cars 😁😍
In the mid 80's we managed to fit 2 families of 4 (each 2 adults and 2 children) plus luggage in a 127 (the good old days where you just made things fit), to me the 80's was the golden era for Italy, interesting cars ( they were all mostly Italian) and great music, I am very fortunate to have experienced this
Hard not to agree with you! Thank you for watching!
In Argentina we had the 147. One of the latest versions made in 1994 was my first car in 1997. 1.4 liter engine from the tipo and modified double choke weber 32-34 DMTR carburattor. Impressive accelerations for very little money at that time. Excelent video as usual. Bravo matteo!!!!
To cover the 147, it would be ideal to film a "127 Rustica" or a late "127 Unificata." Those were Brazilian-made 147s imported to Italy and badged as 127. Finding one of these in good shape won't be easy, but I'll try :)
@@Matteo_Licata Probably is easier to fly to Argentina or Brazil and film one... by the way, real cool video!!!
My parents bought a brand new 127 when I was a kid in the 70's, I think it was in 1972, a beige one. It lasted a few years until my father wrapped it around a tree, he survived unharmed but the car was totaled. So I've childhood memories from this car.
Glad that your father escaped that unhurt! Did you enjoy your time in that car as a kid?
@@Matteo_Licata I did. I remember especially appreciating that it was an unusual car (I grew up in Sweden and in those days very few people drove Fiats).
@@Matteo_Licata I was about 7 when we got the car and I remember friends of my parents saying that (being Italian) it wouldn't do well in the Swedish winters, but being front wheel drive it actually performed brilliantly in the snow (unlike everyone else's Volvos and Mercedeses). Like Saab and others had discovered, RWD is not a good thing in slippery conditions.
Love that little car. My mother had a yellow 127 in 72. Unfortunately, it rusted away quickly and was replaced by a Ritmo
Ritmo
Great memories. Thousands kms all around Europe and western Asia
The 127 was very rust-prone indeed. Little to no protection was given at the factory, and the cars rusted even in the milder Italian climate.
Strangely, I prefer the mk2 facelift. The 1300 Sport and Palio models I remember well from my childhood. This car, along with the 126 and Panda was responsible for my lifelong interest in Italian cars. Thanks for bringing Pio Manzu to my attention - I’ve seen his work, but never realised it was him.
It's all about tastes, after all. Having no personal memories with the 127, I look at it with my "designer eyes" and prefer the purity of earlier models.
Pio Manzù left a sizable mark on industrial design in his short career, which makes his death even more tragic... Who knows how many more brilliant designs he could have made! The Chronotime clock I show in the video is my own one :)
Alessi still makes it, while Flos still sells the "parentesi" lamp. A firm called Alias also makes a beautiful armchair designed by Pio Manzù... Which I don't have because it costs a fortune!
I had both a mk1 and a mk2. The mk2 felt slower, even though it was a 903, instead of the 1049 of the mk2. The mk2 was lighter, I think.
Well, I admit I preferred the R5 and was happy when my father decided for her instead of a 127, I think the R5 design was unsurpassed for the time. It was 1974.
A few years later, when I started driving, the R5 became my car and I liked it a lot. But when I drove on some friend's 127 I was always amazed by the sprint and road quality of the car!
The Renault 5 was the other big success story of the 1970s, and the 127's strongest rival in Europe. A design masterpiece in itself, and one that deserves a video on its own... I have to find one to film :)
clear, Pio Manzù is not discussed
My grandfather had one of these. In red.. I have fond memories of this little car.
👍👍👍1976 war mein erstes Auto der Fiat 127. Vor 4 Wochen habe ich mir einen sehr gut erhaltenen 127 als Oldtimer gekauft, macht mega Spaß als Ergänzung zu meinem Tesla!😅
Another great review..
I have bought your book on the Alfa Romeo Arna(which I am thoroughly enjoying) and I am wondering if you are planning a review on that model.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you're enjoying my book about the Arna! I'd gladly make a video about one, and it'll happen as soon as I find an owner willing to let me film his car :)
Superb.
I have moved onto your book on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and am looking forward to reading your book on the Alfa6
Thanks Matteo! And please, a video of the 147, a car that literally I owe my existence
We did get some 147s in Italy (but badged as 127). Won't be easy to find one, but I'll try ;)
My school friend's mother had a yellow 127 in the early 80s and took us to school in it. Nice little car, was later replaced by a Panda. Thanks for another interesting video. Ciao 🙋♂️
Thanks again Matteo, grat video as always ! in those days as a young kid I was always fiddling with FIAT's, my dad had a small 900 T van for the city deliveries, we had a SEAT 850 Special and my sister, the lucky girl got a green Series 2 coupe for free from some admirer . The 127 never did it for me, because I had its much cooler older twin sister, the Autobianchi A 112, I had made it as close to an Abarth as possible, the carburettor of a Fiat 850 Spider and some other tricks. I loved that little monster very much, perhaps because in an acceleration test with a friend in his 6-cylinder Camaro Chevrolet, my little Autobianchi kept up with his big blue monster, I let him go because a small tunnel with a turn in it made him need all of the road to keep the car on the road. I was very surprised to seem y little Italian being so fast. The Dutch Carabinieri had a whole fleet of dark blue 127's they were very popular overhere.
Thank you for sharing these memories with me 👍
The A112 really was a giant-slayer, if well driven and souped-up a bit! It made a whole generation of rally drivers here in Italy thanks to the “Trofeo A112” that run for many years. Brilliant little car that will duly get its own video soon. I actually had arranged to film one these days, but unfortunately we couldn’t make it.
Another great video, and another amazing car! So charming, and almost a little sad these days are gone, thank you @RoadsterLife I always look forward to your new videos
Wow, thank you very much for your kind words :)
Great video! My grandpa had two of these. The first one was a four-door Spanish made Fiat 127 mk1 and after that he owned a standard two-door mk2 127, he really like both of them. Greeting from Czechia!
I'm glad you've enjoyed my video so much :)
My grandpa too owned a 127, a mk2 three door.
Greetings from Italy!
I love the shapes of the Mk1 127 and I didn't know who designed it. Manzu was such a talent and your county has many more great automotive designers, I hope You will make episodes about them too!
Fiat 127 gt is beautiful...thanks again...
Glad you like it!
Fiat 127S- one of my favourite small cars of all time.
I really hope FIAT will make new Punto as soon. Last baby Maserati is still among the prettiest superminis around.
Wonderful video again.
I sometimes ask myself whether a 127 could be a classic that attracts me. You’ve placed a stone on top of it.
Thank you very much :)
The early 127 is a lovely shape and it’s fun to drive... After shooting, I was quite smitten with it myself :)
My first car, bought second hand in 1981. I spent more time dealing with rust more than I like to remember. Of course you are always fond of your first car with the benefit of nostalgia, but let’s be honest, it was made of brittle plastic and tinfoil! But it never broke down.
My first car also. Bought in 1980, it was 5 years old, and after one year driving back and forth between Oxford and Banbury the engine mounts were rusting out, and the windscreen wipers had fallen off. Still it was a lot of fun, and I didn't really learn my lesson, buying a Strada in 1984.
Loved these. Brings back memories. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm probably one of the few people that, despite finding the original 127 better, actually likes the restylings made for the Serie 2 and 3 - I think both redesigns were actually well made.
My grandfather had a green 2-door (no hatchback yet) 1972 version, and then my uncle had a beige Serie 2 and a black Serie 3.
Just an honorable mention that the Seat 127 was produced until 1986 with several modifications as the Seat Fura, and there was also the "Bocanegra" coupé 127-based.
Yes, the 10 years of production I mentioned were about the 127 as such, before its rebrand as the Fura. The Seat Sport deserves its own video, and will get it in the future
@@Matteo_Licata Cool! That'd be great!
you think the 127 was a big hit in Europe? The Argentinian/Brazilian derived 147 saved FIAT from bankrupt in the 80s.. they sold by the millions till 1995. You can still see it on the streets. Glorious car
Excellent vid once again. In the 127, 128 released beforehand , and obviously the Primula , Fiat created the template for modern car manufacturing. FWD with Macferson strut suspension not only created extra space within the car volumes but kept manufacturing costs down to a minimum as you can put engine , gearbox, suspension and brake/ hub assemblies into the car in one manoever. Again the original 127 design over latter facelifts was the prettiest.
Thank you very much! Very true, and that's why my old video about the Primula still is one I'm proud of: it's a story that's fundamental for the automobile's evolution, yet hardly anyone knows it.
A very good video about a significant car.
There is something slightly generic about the 127 when you first see one... But when you realise that it is the first, it becomes clear that the others were the generic copies.
For its complete lack of logic, I have more affection for the early model senza hatchback.
But all are excellent.
Good video and good detail.
Super cool video Matteo! I've allways loved the 127 design, a true masterpiece IMHO since it combines originality, funcltionality, charm... Simply perfect! And with the Abarth wheels of this unit it's really desirable!
Couldn't agree more! Those wheels really improve the stance markedly!
I had 1973 mk1 bought in 2005 from first owner, resprayed only by me, great car, best memories :) that's why I bought 1976 3 doors mk1 two years ago ( waiting to be restored)
Very nice!
Cars with a “face” were thought of as element in order to be a success in design and subsequently in sales. We are somewhat lost in 2021, most car design tend to be busy by adding vents on the front (either functional or not). It’s like having gills. I miss honest design.
I do miss honest design too. The fact we feel the need to go around in aggressive, angry-looking vehicles says a lot about the current state of our society.
Well said.@@Matteo_Licata
Excellent as always!
Thank you, glad you’ve enjoyed it!
We had a version of this in Brazil and it was called 147. I personally owned two of them
The first true supermini, ten years ahead of its competiton, and when released gave luxury car handling, comfort, cute styling and driving fun, at the time only available on cars 5 times more expensive. A true historic automobile landmark that ford, british leyland, PSA, renault and the early japanese imports took a decade to catch up with.
That hatchback looks a lot like my 128 3P. Interesting story.
Great review again Matteo. I drove around in my town in Sicily in the mid 80's in the same colour 127 and was a great all around car. Great memories and would love to get one again some day here in Australia. A few good ones in great order still available but tough to find.
These 127s were everywhere back then... I wonder how many they sold in Australia to begin with. It's a market I have no information about. Thank you very much for watching!
Matteo teasing conclusion 👌
Have always loved the 127 - classic lines, and would be fantastic to have one as a runabout today. Or a 126/Niki - for more laughs than kms...
Thank you, great video. I love the Fiat 127, especially the mark 2. I would love to know more about the Fiat 147 and Fiat in Brazil as something I know very little about.
That’ll be a subject I’ll dig into when I’ll get the chance to film a more recent 127. Given I had a mk1, I’ve decided to stick with its story... But there sure will be a follow-up ;) Thank you very much, glad you’ve enjoyed it!
I've never seen one of the original 127. But my mother and grandmother both had a Fiat Spazio which was an "evolution" of the 127 and 147.
I believe that the 147 platform went as far as the Brazilian Uno that shared more with the "Spazio" than with the European Uno.
Yes indeed. The Brazilian Uno was quite different underneath from its Italian counterpart, with much in common with the 147/Spazio. This was done to make it tougher and be better suited for rough roads.
My flatmate had one, and killed it through neglect.
I did an engine and trans transplant on it.
A bit fiddly, but it was a fun car to drive when it was finished.
Mí piacerebbe tantissimo vedere un tuo video su Fiat un Argentina, il primo paese con una fattoria Fiat fuori dal' Italia, e dove il marchio a compiuto 100 Anni di presenza poco fa. Ancora piu, e una delle Case piu amate da noi Argentini.
Wow, grazie! Non conosco molto bene la storia Fiat in Argentina, ma sono d’accordo che sarebbe una bella storia. Farò la mia ricerca!
Thanks for making the 127 story . I asked you to maybe do one and you did . fair play to you . one of my top ten cars . my dad had a mk 1. Green one. Take care
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your support!
Great work - super entertainment- cheers
Thank you!!!
Defining 127 cool is a dare, but Is true. And was our first family car, me not still being born!
Отличное видео. Спасибо.
Great video!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see that the 127 is slowly becoming a classic. When it just came out I was around 7 years old and I thought it was the prettiest car there was. It also smelled nice when it was new.
Rust and neglect have claimed almost all 127s, but those that remain are in enthusiast hands. To be honest, after shooting for this video, I felt like buying one myself!
Read that Bono was one of the main opponents within Fiat to the likes of the A112 (he wanted it to be a three-box saloon even if production was delayed though his attempt was unsuccessful), 127 and 128 featuring a hatchback, which explains why the 127 was initially a 2-door as well as why the 128 based Zastava Skala included a hatchback.
I know about the 128 story, but I think the A112 one you read wasn't correct. Dante Giacosa didn't mention such an episode in his detailed memoir, plus the A112 was designed to be about as short as a 500 Giardiniera, which made a three box design impossible.
Bono’s views on preferring the A112 to feature a traditional boot can be found on pages 332-333 in Dante Giacosa’s book Forty Years with Fiat.
“As for the A 112, Bono went over the reasons that had led to the decision to manufacture it at the Autobianchi works and then returned to a subject that was very much a bee in his bonnet. The rear end looked like a station wagon or estate car and he was against it. He wanted it to look like a sedan. So he asked me to modify the rear of the coachwork even if it meant putting production back from January to March.
I tried to change his mind by going through the whys and wherefores of the chosen form and explaining how difficult it was to get out an alternative version in a short time and without redesigning the whole auto. In the end I had to knuckle under and say we would have a go. I was given ten days to present the plaster model. The alteration came out better than I had expected, to everyone’s satisfaction.”
Great video 😃 That's a lovely example in the film 😃 A work colleague of my dads had one in the 80's Thinking it was orange with lots of black plastic which somewhat ruined the look 😣 Sadly don't see many about now don't think they liked the British climate 😂
Thank you! 127s were notoriously rust-prone, yes. Definitely not the best car to survive long in UK. Rust claimed many examples even here in Italy, so I don't even want to know how badly these must have corroded in Britain!
Nice story, i look forward for part 2. I hope you can tell me more about the 127 Van diesel. It's a wagon without the rear seats. I had one in 2020 but sold it again, because it didn't run. It's a very rare model and i make a little profit. Maybe you can find more information about it, because i found almost nothing about it. 🙏
If I understood correctly, that must be a late model from the 80s, made in Brazil. It's very rare indeed now, given these cars were bought and used as workhorses and driven into the ground by their owners.
I'll definitely cover all the other 127 variants over time, when I'll film more recent examples.
@@Matteo_Licata that's correct it was produced in Brazil in 1989.
Thank you really enjoyed that one two seven
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Ricordo il suono dello scarico, dopo trenta e passa anni, perchè la possedeva il meccanico sotto casa colore arancione. Quando la FIAT era un'industria Italiana...
Great video! Fiat rather skilfully updated the car over the years.
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Nice 127, congrats, all parts original apart from few details (driving wheel, rims and tyres)
I bought one of these in the 1970s. What a mistake-a-to-make. I particularly liked the way the quarter light windows fell out when you went over a bump. Oh and the way that British approved brake fuid eroded the pipe between the reservoir and the master cylinder - you had to nip over to Italy to get some unapproved stuff or replace the pipe every three months or so.
Here, a neighbor's grandfather has had a second series for nearly 50 years that has been roaring perfectly on the road ever since. Now it does little road but it must have a mountain of km. For some years it has not paid the road tax anymore as it has become a historic car 😃. The color is just a little faded
I'm anxious for 147 history. My father had 2 fiat 147, one metalic green special series (CS Top) with green glass. Another black with solar roof and magnesium wheels. My car passion begins on the black one (I was 3 years old). But here in Brazil the 147 had no good reputation, in special about gear change. We had 3 series. The second serie is call "Europa", because of front headlights seem 127. Here in Brazil we had some 147 variations too, sedan, station wagon, 2 pickups, van. Please when you make a video about 147, search about Oggi (147 sedan) wich had a special homologation serie to race here in Brazil, If you need help with Brazil's Fiat history please contact me, I would love help you
That’s great to know and thank you for your offer. I’ll definitely cover the 147 when I’ll film a more recent 127... Given the last 127s sold in Italy, well into the 1980s, actually were 147s made in Brazil.
Bello come sempre e molto piacevole. Certamente una serie di video Autobianchi Primula, A112 e A111, sarebbero una gran cosa.
Sorry for use the Italian language.
Very nice video as always.... Please, make some video about Autobianchi Primula, A112 and..... Why not.... A111
Ho raccontato la storia della Primula, ma sono d’accordo che la A112 merita un video... Infatti stavo per filmarne una questi giorni, ma ci sono stati dei contrattempi... Ma la farò, questo é sicuro :)
Ottimo!!
Grazie!!
Fiat look set to revisit the design language of the 127 with an EV. Proposals certainly look good.
You should do video on the old 124
It’s long overdue, I agree. I’ll look for a nice example to film :)
I have a 127 3p from 1974 with 25.500 original kms on the clock. The color is white.
Wow, that sounds like a pretty little minter! Congratulations!
I remember a school mate of mine having a 76 model back in 1984 it was his first car and I had a go in it it was very rusty as this was the uk.
127s rusted pretty well even here in Italy, so their lifespan in the UK must have been very short indeed 😆
@@Matteo_Licata yes most cars of the time were gone after 5 to 7 years no rustproofing and no protection as today with wheelarch liners and galvanized metal.
Love it 😍
Thank you! 😊
Ahhh the 127...
It was significant for Fiat as it sold in large quantities.. A big step forward technologically, but not as detailed as it should and could have been.
Good road behavior but many quality problems. Car of the year, as long as you kept it for one year being new...
I think, a couple years ago, there was an interesting concept of a new 127.
Rusty red 🤣
Still a great looking car . Turns heads . Today
Funny how before there were basic cars with 4 cylinder 900cc engines but now you get all kind of stuff that’s not really needed but only 3 cylinder engines 🤣
Belo lavoro
Grazie!!
The 850th like from me!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Bewtiful mate
Thank you! Cheers!
hi, would ever make a video about the Koenig Specials ferrari, lambos with 1000ps & twin turbo setups. till now there are no new videos of the company or anything related about old koenig cars. what is you opinion about koenig tunning or any italian cars getting tuned in general?
I’d gladly do a video about that intriguing subject, if only I knew anything about it 😬. Sadly there’s precious little info available on those cars, and there’s no chance I could ever film one!
I have been working on a yellow series 1 from 1974 with my dad, lots of rust and brakes in bad state :(
Unfortunately these cars rusted with alacrity even in mild climates. Hope yours is not too bad and can be repaired!
@@Matteo_Licata luckily most of the major holes caused by rust are around the fenders and lower edges of the car, so a bit of welding and a new paint job (my dad has a friend who will do it for relatively cheap) should do the trick. :)
@@InfantShredder69 Cool! Best of luck with your project then!
@@Matteo_Licata thanks :)
I don't understand why FIAT doesn't make 127 model again
My mum bought a brand new Seat 127 five doors in April 1980,
The five doors were launched just a few weeks before.
We needed to sold it out agan in August 1983 within 50.000 kms after constant technical issues.
Seat made un Barcelona from mid 70s to early 90s were terrible quality builded.
The first Seat 127 were far much nicer to see; from 1977 turned inside and outside modern but very boring.
Always felt the 127 could have benefited from a 5-door hatchback bodystyle like on the SEAT Frua (the same goes with an Italian built 3/5-door 128 hatchback) as well as a Renault 7-like 2/4-door three-box saloon bodystyle similar to the Brazilian Fiat Oggi, yet in the case would of the latter would its size have meant a 2/4-door Fiat Oggi would encroach too much on the 2/4-door Fiat 128?
Also of the view export versions of 127 and 128 along with the related X1/9 outside of Italy would have benefited from earlier 1.5-1.6 versions of the Fiat 128 SOHC engine.
Demand for four-door 127s was small back then, that’s why Fiat didn’t bother to tool up for one and simply had Seat ship some to Italy.
pls make a video about Fiat 128
I'll try to find a nice one to film. As soon as I'll locate it, it'll happen :)
🙂 👍
W la Fiat 127...
I owned one. It was my first car, the most evil pile of junk you can imagine. I have no idea where to begin make a list of its flaws…
Just a hunch but Fiat might actually be preparing a Nuovo 127! :-)
Really? I haven’t heard anything about that! 😳
@@Matteo_Licata You get the cynicism in that remark, don't you?! :-)
Ah ok 😆 got it now!
Mmmh yeah here it is ...
Isn't that the Yugo?
Kinda. The Yugo was based on the 127, yes. But they’re not exactly the same car.
My school car
I had 2 Fiat cinquecento sporting. I like fiats small cars fun to drive. But the quality is bad. And other cheep cars form Kia and Hundai, and suzuki is better quality and low price. The 500 is Nice but poor quality. Fiat has a bad name... And they dont do anything about it...
FIAT: small cars indestructible in essence...
After 20 years of daily use of my 600 (daily car for work), without ever having done anything besides battery oil brakes, I was so happy that I searched and found one with very few km instead of one of the current washing machines.
Ps: terrible driving quality experience with japanese
Brilliant as usual
Thank you!
