I can't criticise; I used to own one.
We were going through a somp (shortage of money period) at the time. It was a wagon, and we did over 200,000 miles in it. Replaced the timing chain tensioner twice, and replaced top gear once. (It was a 5sp manual.)
That wee car really worked for its keep. It was our farm truck, and carried many heavy loads home: concrete water troughs, fence posts, concrete blocks, drainage tiles, fencing wire by the ton...you name it.
It would have to be the best-value-for-money car we've ever owned.
Mind you, when we sold it, it was absolutely buggered.

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

That's impressive ! It's amazing what you can make a car do when you really don't care about it. I had a cavalier that I treated like I pick up, nothing close to what you did with your Fiat, but it got a lot of stuff doneSeth
