My dad used to own a Fiat 1100D or Premier Padmini. Nice car it was. He owned it for nearly 30 yrs I believe. I learnt driving. The gears are placed behind the wheel so it's easy to shift gears unlike today's cars. Miss it a lot.

^ Fiat's build quality is awesome. Once a hyundai verna hit my bullet, and it's side panel crushed like a pappad. If it's a fiat or contessa, i wld be dead. imo, sub 30L cars dont have strong body.

:nono: There are many cars below 30L which have strong built quality..VW' date=' Fiat are prime examples[/quote'] VW 'look' like a strong car, but it doesn't. I got a chance to see a crashed VW Passat. They have this hollow body panel technology, which gives the car more stability and milage. But they suck at safety. According to my law college friend, nearly 40% of the people get third degree sprains or fractures and 25% are fatal. That's 65%, where the car doesn't have protection. I think our govt will mandate crash test for all the cars in near future.
