Beg to differ, several Fiats were used in our family, sure they had issues, mainly rust which the Italians solved in the early nineties. I remember they always ran, one time the garage forgot adding coolant to a 127 (I'm talking circa 1981, the car was circa 1971), engine steamed up. Added coolant, damned thing ran for years thereafter (untill the passenger door practically fell out - the aforementioned rust issue...)
