I'm Italian and I hate punto's
I'm Italian and the only reason those FCA abominations are sold is because they are slightly cheaper than the others.
Ironically most of FCA sales are indeed in Italy, fucking pecoroni che "oh zio la Banda costa solo 9k ed ha un twinair quindi conzuma poco"
is a fiat 500 abarth a good purchase? (in north america)
Explain.
>calling Italian sheeps when everybody there drool over VW and Audi
>the Golf is the best selling vehicle and the Polo is almost there
This, lads, is the typical Italian that hates on Fiat while knowing absolutely nothing about these cars.
>MUH LOW PRICES
>MUH ABOMINATIONS
>MUH TWINAIR
Please ask us why we don't have a car culture here.
Keep buying german cars and crying because in Italy you have no jobs then, stupid fuck.
This is the country that invented fascism.
>I come to threads about cars I don't like to shitpost because I have nothing else to do with my life
Did I triggered your FCA™ approved loan of 10 years for your Fiat Tipo™?
Typical Italiota whos assumes because I hate FCA I must buy german cars and suck german dicks, well I had in my family around 8 Fiats and guess what? neither of those ever reached past 200k km.
Kek, the usual excuse "my family had 300 fiat and not a single one of them lived past 15 km, literally exploded after leaving the dealer".
Post your car or KYS.

Restyled punto WHEN?

Sure giggino now I start gathering all the paper from 30 years of times to prove I'm right.
While you keep paying for your FCA's Alfa Romeo Giulietta™ I've bought an old ford focus and thanks to Fiat Certified Unrealiability™ i thought it was normal for a car to go at least once a year to the mechanic for repait, but after 3 years without even a rattle maybe that idea isn't so right.
Who knows...probably never.
I think in Fiat they have no idea about what they're doing, since they literally split their products in two lines: 500 family (500, L, L wagon and X) and the Tipo which is "low cost".
The Punto is a rotting corpse, even if it's still a very valid car nowadays, even with the absence of nannies. 8000€ for a 1.2 Punto is a great deal for someone who wants an honest car to go from A to B everyday.
How asshurt are you?
You called me a triggered Fiat Tipo driver, just after crying and complaining after I implied you were a german car driver...oh the irony.
>I've bought an old ford focus
So am I right if I'm assuming your old Fiat was used? Maybe an "italian" used one with the tampered odometer. ayy.
Well, stay mad.
t. not a Fiat driver.
>bought an overpriced corolla
Talking about irony
imagine dailying a punto because you can't afford better and telling yourself you got a good car
>talking about irony
What irony exactly? He was implying I was a Fiat driver only because I was defending Fiat and actually got BTFO.
This is not irony in my book, it's called stupidity.
It isn't since they depreciate like hell, so you find a mint one at sale price definitely get it (of course if it's ok and doesn't have gremlins) and have plenty of fun like some other user did here.
Just one thing to be aware of: the NA market Fiat and Abarth are produced in Mexico and therefore the quality of the interior could be a bit lower (the engine comes from Italy). The European abarth and Fiat 500 are well made.
>hurr durr
Traded my 500 Abarth in a week ago. The car itself I don't miss, because of what I have now, but I didn't think I'd miss that damned exhaust note so badly.
The owner of my company drives a fully loaded 5 Series and has a Ferrari f458 but most of the time when he doesn't need to do shit outside the company visiting customers and dealing with other companies he comes driving his (fully loaded) Abarth 595 Turismo with leather interior and record monza.
He told me he fucking loves that little thing and he has more fun in it than in the Ferrari, not because the latter is a bad car but because it's too powerful to have fun on normal roads while the Abarth has just the right power and you can trash 2-3 gears without ending at 200 km/h.
I actually trust him.
