I remember people complaining about them but they were never the owners.  

Those old Fiat designs weren't bad - I went to high school in sunny California
where rust wasn't a problem, and there were a bunch of Fiat 128 coupes, sports,
and X1/9s around. It seemed like the electrics were more of a problem than the
engines.

I'd always liked boxy, fast cars -- wanted to get a Fiat 128, put an air dam on
it, throw a weber carb on it, campagnolo mags, stickier tires... but I was in a
school full of Camaros and Chevelles.

Back then, I had a Fiat 850 Spyder - convertible, rear-engine 903cc pushrod 4
cylinder. 0-60 in 18.9 seconds.
