I bought this car used after the engine had been replaced. It sported a 5-speed manual transmission with an 1800cc engine, that I later discovered was built by Maserati. In the USA, it suffered from being associated with FIAT dealerships, and they were not easily found here. Buying parts was also not easy as they had to often be shipped from Italy, so you could not repair the car in a hurry. However, it was VERY peppy and fun to drive!
