I still have the Swift
I would heartily recommend. Have one on that PP thing for my daughter. Does everything just right.
Wheel bearing on the A2 has been growling. Thought i'd get MOT done at the same time.
Think the actual bearing job is one for a press, so will drop off monday am before heading to Snowdonia in the SC430. Get back together next weekend all being well. Better than the £1700 the Audi independent quoted.

Other half had the first gen Panda 4x4 ragtop. About only FIAT I would have again because it's half Pinzgauer :)
Then a Uno which was shit and it's party trick of if you let the brake pads wear down too much when you go in reverse the front brake pads would fall out of the caliper.
Then a Suzuki swift in 2006
Back to a Fiat Punto which never really drove in a straight line and the electrics failed.
Traded that for a lower spec but newer Panda which in it's few years of ownership cost more in repairs than the initial cost of the car. FIAT dealerships are fucking useless and FIAT panda suspension just falls apart.
I still have the Swift and was looking at a very boring but cheap Suzuki Celerio which is now other halfs car.
The old 993cc 3cylinder swift is now at 190k miles, original clutch. gone through 2 exhaust systems, 1x radiator, not many tyres, due to only 50 ponies when new and now high mileage it won't do a ton on private roads and does 50mpg fully loaded on biking junkets up to fort William and back cruising at motorway speeds.
Wouldn't have a modern fiat. Honda Jazz or Suzuki anything for cheap reliable fun..... or a baby Pinzgauer :)
