much, IMO.

But, it's not bad for a Fiat.

I am sure I've mentioned this before but we had a Fiat 850 Spyder in
Italy. It was only a couple of years old, so it ran fine. We had
a blast with it, driving all over Italy. Of course, it was before
we had kids although Mrs.E. was pregnant with our first.

Don't know if this will work, but I'll give it a try:

I have a cousin in Florida who bought an Americanized Fiat 850 Spyder
with intentions of restoring it. I warned him but he didn't listen.
He didn't own it long. Gave up.

Closest I came to owning a Fiat was my 4 door Lada sedan. It was based on the Fiat 124. Seems the Fiat people sold the rights to the Russians to build their copy.
Mrs E looks right at home over there with that Italian sports car.

That's the car that she learned to drive a stick shift in. I tried
teaching her but got too frustrated with the grinding of gears, jerking
and stalling. Then I had to do a two week patrol on the ship I was
stationed on and when it returned to port in Naples there she was
at the dock in the car to pick me up. One of her girlfriends with a lot
more patience than I had taught her while I was gone.

We enjoyed living in Italy for the two years we were there. Had a lot
of fun when the Navy wasn't interrupting us to go hunt for Soviet subs.
