I was hoping you would elaborate. I took one out for a testdrive way back in 1981. To this day, I still think it was one of my more memorable drives (meaning it was good). FIAT pulled out of the N. American market before I had a chance to buy one. So what was wrong with the car?
For the first three years. Then the seat covers disintegrated. About the fourth year I started having a rash of overheating and had three thermostats replaced in a year. Crazy. The engine even froze up one day and 12 hours later it was running like a top. Took it out to destroy it in anger by shifting at 8 to 8500 rpms and it begged for more! I think Fiat makes/made a really tough engine and tranny as I didn't manage to destroy them. On the other hand, everything else when to shit by the end of the fourth year. Traded for a Rabbit . . . but that's another story altogether.
I've seen three! of these over my 47 years, BURNING on the side of the road, or burnt down to a crisp. Has to be why I resisted the fiero when it it came out...
I *like* the loudness button!
