Fiat Australia

[kevino]

The wifes 2012 Fiesta is getting up in kms -time for replacement.

Looking at cars 20/24k segment.

Wife liked the Fiat 500.
Test drove one yesterday drove great with the five speed manual.

But!

Theres only one dealer in Queensland in Brisbane.
Dealer had total Fiat stock of 2 sandwiched amongst Skoda Isuzu Ute and Ram.
No Fiat branding -no brochures-salesperson knew little about the car..

Fiat dropped the 124 sport model, dropped the 500SUV so I suppose a standalone Fiat dealership is impossible.

But gee I worry about support and back up for warranty issues and its only a 3 year warranty.

Are Fiat serious about being in Australia?

In the mean time we will slide the 500 option into a box.

Now we will look at the Suzuki Ignis CVT high hip point car.
