Benarsenal Turbocharged March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 My friend had a Punto a while back, and it was also quite problematic. Lots of stupid issues (like door cannot open cos the cable snapped ) Still, he insists that he likes Italian cars cos got character. To each their own then. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 Haha I didn't debate when he said it, I just went ohhh isit wow. It was a 2nd hand car btw, previous owner benged up the ride with neon blue lights under the dash etc, I think he was desperate to clear it. Then again doesn't beat the hello kitty swift I saw, even the 2nd hand SE (who never the car before) was like WTF? err move to the next one too bad no camera phone last time. Good SE, turned the weakness into a strength. "Stable acceleration, good for fetching elderly around as they won't be shocked" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged March 11, 2016 Share March 11, 2016 something is not too right with the running....the thing mentioned in the article below happened on a few deals the company has done and the company blamed it on the salesmen http://uniquecarrental.com.sg/read-first-faq/56 besides I recently saw them buying a repo fiat and selling it but one specs therein the car wasn't right. Last heard from the sales person that they might start to bring in Fiat models again. Don't know true anot. But as of now the showroom looks more like a PI showroom selling other brands of vehicle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanCoe Hypersonic March 11, 2016 Share March 11, 2016 What surprises me that the whilst Fiat Cars may not be popular but their commercial vehicles are everywhere to be seen, of course the Agents are different and at one time the Car Agent brought in the Cubo (petrol I think only) and the Commercial ones brought in Fiorino (diesel and Petrol version) except the rear windows were not there and the back look a little different and some ornamentation here and there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap the Commercial side is a big strong company with full fleet management and leasing services to Singapost; Singapore Power and many other big companies and they deal in a few other big brands and seem like under gold bell group or minerva and even have mitsubishi heavy or other big vehicles and some china brands too; Wonder why the car side so sleepy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teomingern 6th Gear March 12, 2016 Share March 12, 2016 Exactly. Skoda is another one. Damn wasted. Problem with these car distributors who trade in the second or third tier Continental brands - like Opel, Skoda, Fiat, etc... they think their cars are on par with the first tier brands like VW, etc... and thus charge prices that are very close to those... if they have the mentality that their cars are of the same prestige as second tier Jap brands or even Korean brands, they would have priced the cars the right way and they would fly off the shelf... the Korean brands were clever in their positioning and they have had really good sales...
