Great little cars apparently though I'd probably save money and get a Panda.

:eek: I would have been so pissed. I always tell the dealer, I want to take the plastic of the seats!!!
I even check the tyre thread if it still has those little spikes!!
Ask for another new one!! Call you bank aswell!

DAMN...yep...the state of FIATSA for ya...

You will come to know them better than you do your mother in law...just enjoy the Alfa ehem...500!

If you will I'll tell you horror stories about FiatSA...but I'm not sure if we allowed to slander businesses and drop names in the process???
