Would NOT recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Interesting, different from other cars. Dynamic, easily manipulated. A great exhaust sound. A lot or space interior, including in back. A good sound system.
Cons: Rust!! Everything rusts. Few technicians who can or wants to work with Italian car. Sometimes more difficult to find spare parts. Complicated suspension and chassis solutions, which makes it difficult for repairs. Weakness in window cleaning mechanisms, and it is difficult to get. Also all kind of tubes and their compounds. Half of switches does not work. Climate control lives its own life, if it is repaired, so a few months later same crash.

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Wonderful steering, good road holding (even on slippery roads). Comfortable for 4 people. For short distances you can easily seat 5. Reliable diesel engine - never once let down.
Cons: The front suspension doesn't hold up on bumpy roads. In wet weather, the electronics glitch a bit, but nothing critical.
