Driving a literal shitbox now, need advice for used cars.

check the sticky

sage

Are you a pasta driver from pastaland?

>>15697199
I prefer the term "pizza driver". But yeah you got the idea.

>>15697206

Fiat Uno is very reliable even more if equipped with FIRE engine, if you want something as reliable as the Uno you have to look for Fiat Panda Cross diesel version

>>15697224
>diesel

Since i don't want to spend too much cash I'd convert it to a natural gas engine. Way cheaper on the long run. So the Panda is a good option but definitely not the version you just mentioned.

>>15697230

LPG conversion is very good for mpgs if the installer is as good.

But for further infos I summon fellow fiat-fag mJet

Most models I see are poorly maintaned though, didn't think of it for that reason: I associated it with crappy cars.

t-thanks
how about the Abarth Stilo or Barchetta?

>>15697315

Literally the shittiest fiats ever made, get a Coupè or a Bravo you faggot ricer

>>15697315
>Stilo
Not to shabby actually, might think of that, just not Abarth. Not really interested in that line of cars, just need it for work/nights out/getting something better than a shitbox.

are you italian? stop being a poorfag, save up 5k euros get an actual car. any diesel with 150 hp+ is cheap on fuel and has any actual performance.
dont force yourself to drive shitboxes your entire life

>>15697331

This. Buy an Audi A3 TDI or a BMW 118d

UNO is ok car but it's not really safe these days, one of the new ton and a half compacts crash into you and you're dead.

This is the reason I replaced old Skoda shitbox I loved so much with EG Civic and later Ford Focus.

>>15697321
the shittiest fiats ever made are still better than the best VW ever made, so nothing wrong with that.
>>15697323
how many people you haulin?
or big stuff? maybe an Chroma diesel would be jn your range.

>>15697354

>thing not actually true

>>15697331

Average 150hp diesel eurpoor family car is way more depressing to drive than any of the 90's Fiats.

4 cyl diesel please kill me.

I would recommend mk1 Skoda Fabia, had fleet of these at work and they where very nice to drive, dependable and cheap to fix.

Models to look for:

- 1.4 16v 74kW - nice revvy twin cam engine, quite fast
- 1.9 SDI - slow but not too slow, engine unlike TDI lasts forever and is very reliable, fuel consumption insanely low

Buy a used Grande Punto.
You can get them cheap nowadays if you go for the first years of production.
Try to avoid the 1.2 8v. They're a bit gutless.

>pic related, my diesel 2014 punto

>>15697206

A Fiesta wouldn't be bad, or even a Polo. Tbh I kinda like Polos. Maybe one of those daft Brabus Smart Cars?

>>15697406

Yeah man it's real problem, you don't feel anything till you get like 3x over speed limit.

Honestly on back roads I have more fun hooning my offroader cutting corners everywhere and squeezing out everything it has than in my road DD.

>>15697426

Older jap cars are bad choice for europe. Non oem parts are not readily available and everything is expensive as fuck.

If you order parts from US you end with $9 part $25 shipping and shitload of taxes on top of that all.

>>15697182
At least its not an automatic.
Civic and cobalt would work too both have a sedan and coupe option that people here seem to like.

>>15697428

Or if you wanna have fun, buy a 500. In corner they scare the shit out of you

Italy is full of these shitboxes, especially the based Panda 4x4

>>15697486
>500
>>15697428
>Grande Punto
>>15697354
>Chroma


These are the best choices for me so far.

>>15697354
>the shittiest fiats ever made are still better than the best VW ever made
This, plus I don't really like Golf or Polos, there are so many around where I live that it's become old. I vomit everytime I see one.

Mi ero solo guardato la prima puntata desu, che era solo quella della Panda. Non so neanche se ne hanno fatto altre

>>15697615

Se devo essere sincero, la puntata della RS3 mi è piaciuta, l'unico problema è che, mentre Jeremy, James e Richard sono amici, Meda, Bastianich e Valsecchi non lo sono e si vede.

PS: Valsecchi è stato campione del mondo di GP2 4 anni fa e ora ha lo stesso peso forma di mio cugino Vincenzo in sovrappeso. Come.

>>15697626
>Meda, Bastianich e Valsecchi non lo sono

Porca troia se si vede

>>15697651

Al posto di Bastianich ci avrei messo quello sfigato di Fisichella o Aldo Costa o anche Gianfranco Mazzoni

>>15697684
tutte ottime scelte, ma avrei messo valentino rossi :^)

Jap cars are cool, but older ones can be expensive to fix.

>>15697754
In the UK and Ireland parts for 90's Japboxes are everywhere and cost nothing.

Maybe if you got like an R32 or Evo 4 or something your answer would make sense

VW Polo 1.4 TDI
VW Passat B5/B5.5 1.9 TDI/ 1.8T or W8 if you want a lot of fun and good sound.

Skoda Fabia (don't know which engine)

Seat Ibiza 1.9TDI / 1.8T

>built not bawt
You talk like you have to be a ricer to know japanese parts are more expensive than european parts in Europe.

Just the fact maintenance of a japanese car is more expensive than in any other comparable european car says a lot.
But then again, it's like I'm talking to a fucking wall, since you weebs can't do maths.

>500€ for the first fucking scheduled maintenance on a fucking Yaris

It must feel pretty fucking bad to just get continuously blown the fuck out every day.

>I looked up a random OEM Dealer price for a service

good joke mate, now try and service a BEEMUR that won't let you do anything unless you have a manufacturer computer adapter.

>>15698298
I didn't look up shit, you autistic fuck.
I used to have a shitty ass 1.5 Yaris in my home, back in 2000. My mother used it to commute in the city.
The first scheduled maintenance was almost 500€.

Toyota is up there with BMW in maintenance costs, where I live.
Now stop talking out of your ass.
