A Dodge Dart.

brittle plastics, oil leaks, and electrical gremlins

I've the wagon. Its eight now and in the couple of years I've had it, it has just needed a drop link.
Not many Tipos here so people stop to look.
Smiles are fun.

>What am I in for?
-good gas mileage
-surprisingly good view from the drivers seat
-ok ergonomics
-ok reliability (for a Shitalian car)
-ok comfort
-ok handling
-shitty infotainment system but at least it supports carplay and android auto

It's the very opposite of drivers car but it performs good in the role it was designed for. Buy a wagon for the reasons listed above - it's not very fun to drive so make sure it's practical.

A vagina lol

1.4 non turbo sucks ass, you either drive like grandpa or rev it high sacrifising fuel economy
overpriced af after pandemics

I got a genuine WTF from a college kid the other day.
Lounge interior is the way to go, faux leather and metal instead of cheap plastic.

>>28529174 (OP)
why does this look like a Dacia Logan?

>>28529174 (OP)
Turkish shitbox. You know, it's not too awful for what it is. Get a 301/C-Elysee for a true thirdie shitbox experience. God I love those abominations.
>>28532931
It pretty much is a Logan competitor.

>>28532952
is it as fragile in a crash as the dacia?

>>28529174 (OP)
Nice rebadged dodge dart

Replaced by the car your wife told you to buy.

>>28529174 (OP)

turkish steel someone actually bought 1.6 petrol with automatic but there must been something wrong with it as it got listed real soon

>>28529174 (OP)
Looks like a Buick. Is it made in korea?

I got a genuine WTF the other day because FIAT doesn't make wagons.

>>28529174 (OP)
A chink piece of shit that will leave your ass waiting for a tow truck on the highway, like all of garbage Stellantis group cars.
At the very least get a Nissan or a Korean made car.

>>28533570
The only FIAT I have ever had seen me stood by the side of the road had been driven like stolen every day for about five years.
It was utterly fcukd but try doing that in any other car and you'd get the same result.
BTW driving like it is stolen every day is quite good fun.

>>28532975
It looks like a 2010 VW Jetta clone to me.

>>28533632
Yeah, it does. A Jetta clone with Italian reliability (read: poor).

>>28533781
Is a Jetta with Spanish reliability bad?
How about Mexican VAG product?

>>28529174 (OP)
My dad bought one new back in 2018 (before it was facelifted). So far he's done around 90k km. It came with an na 1.4 and a 6 speed manual. If possible get one with some more powerful engine as this one feels a bit under powered. They might have oil consumption issues (that's what it say in the owner's manual, idk about my dad's car since I never asked him about that). You will be replacing pic related fairly often but it's a fairly cheap part. He had no other issues. It's got good visibility, drives well and it is quiet. Overall it's a good car but they've gone up in price. My dad paid for it around 12k and now he could sell it for the same amount

>>28533848
I forgot to mention, his didn't come with start stop function but some cars had it. It wasn't an option, some cars would randomly get it. It's weird it wasn't in any paperwork, so if you want that for some reason you will need to look a bit harder than you'd expect

>>28533852
Stop start and a lot of the other unintersting stuff is in the menu.
That touch screen is satnav and radio, look elsewhere for car functions.

>>28533857
this one has that base model screen, no android auto and stuff like that, but I'll check the next time I get into that car

>>28533893
I can't be bothered with most of the tweaks but my car will auto start if you stall. Can't remember where that is.

How exactly do Italians put up with Fiat shitboxes constantly falling apart?

>>28533927
FIAT shitboxes fall apart as much as VAG product do.
Does your mom know you are still up?

>>28533937
You seem mad. Does your butt hurt because Eurocars are shit, or just because a nafri fucked you in the ass yesterday?

>>28533941
I thought so.
US president detected.

>>28532961
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the newest gen dacias are solid too. But they are repulsive. The old ones were better. Who gives a shit, they were safe enough. Now you have no visibility and no interior room.

>>28532975
Not at all. Though there is a "Dodge Neon" that is a direct rebadge of the Tipo only in Mexico.
>>28533370
No. Turkiye. Make of that what you will.

>>28535347
Older dacias are notorious 4 wheeled coffins, any crash can total the car and kill the people inside it. Newer ones are better but they're still not inspiring any safety to the driver.

>>28535476
From what I've seen in Euro NCAP results, the newer ones have at least somewhat crush-resistant passenger compartments. The mini cuckover-ish Dacia Sandero Stepway provided at least marginal protection to the driver and front passenger, which I suppose is an upgrade from instant death if you hit a barrier at any speed.
The Euro NCAP doesn't give a lot of points for marginal results, though, especially with all other safety features at an absolute minimum, so it still ended up with 2 stars out of 5.

>>28535540
most of the historical star deductions are due to them not putting enough e-safety features like cruise control, lane change assist or pedestrian radars because they want to keep the cars cheap but some is due to the cars being very easy to total in a crash.

>>28535545
Yeah, it's just barely good enough that it might get 3 stars if it had a decent number of assistive features.
Most of the possible max score is still from physical safety, and it's not particularly good at that either. They have definitely improved a bit.

I don't know, this looks okay.

>it's just barely good enough that it might get 3 stars if it had a decent number of assistive features.
No they SAID it would've literally had 4 stars.

>>28535947
>In May 2013, the second generation Dacia Sandero achieved a four star Euro NCAP overall rating for basic level, improving on the previous basic model's three star score.
>The car received a score of 29 points (80%) for adults, 39 points (79%) for children occupants, 21 points (57%) for pedestrians and 5 points (55%) for safety assist, these results being rated as 5/5 stars for adult and child occupant protections, and 4/5 stars for pedestrian protection and safety assist.
What a load of shit. 4-5 stars for the parts related to the structure of the actual vehicle.

Back on topic, the Tipo mogs with 81% for adult occupants. Turki steel good steel.

>>28535947
yeah, this, the 2021 model
now look at the 2005 ones

>>28535978
>yeah, this, the 2021 model
The second gen got a good score already
>now look at the 2005 ones
It's still not THAT terrible, especially for something so cheap.
