Overall a reliable car, because a large part of the defects are due to failure, normal wear and tear or my stupidity
Even when parking at a new car dealer, the most beautiful ride in the village
Great quality interior, good audio system
Undeniable Italian charm
Cons: Small cabin - four tall people find it difficult to fit in.
Small boot with non-folding rear seats.
The paint is not of the highest quality, it scratches easily.
Consumption, even without taking my heavy foot, quite awful.
Low ground clearance, if you feel mechanical sympathy, it is sometimes difficult to drive on Latvian roads.
