The Fiat 500

In Quotes, machinery on 6 April 2008 with no comments

“Years ago, I had rented an original 500 in Italy; it didn’t even have seat belts. The driver’s seat came loose and would tip backward on acceleration (such as it was), forward on braking (ditto), or worse, sideways on cornering. This was especially scary for me on right-hand turns because the chassis flexed so much going around corners that the side doors would occasionally pop open.”
