I'm glad to join the community of this site and let me introduce my car now, this is Fiat Siena 1996 model. I purchased it new in 1999 so I use it for 6 years already. For now the mileage amounts to 220 000 miles - I have to drive much as I work in a transporting and courier company. My Fiat is in fact a compavt sedan with just 4100mm in length and 1614 in width - just a very executive vehicle for work. Not really extra powered but with essential dynamics my car has 4 cylinders inline engine with 1.6 cubic capacity and 16 valves totally; front drive and front engine location with multi-spray injection. Siena has traditional italian high quality chassis and suspension though parts are sometimes hard to get. This is because in our region Fiats are few indeed so dealers located far from us. It was everything ok all these 6 years, I was satisfied with the car, even when the gasoline prices rose I was grateful to my car for its 6.5 liters in combined cycle fuel consumption. But in the beginning of this December, 5th I was coming back home, it was darkening, I was on a big highway. I was at 80 mph (my record spedd with my Siena - 112mph!) while passing flat winding when one crazy driver in his BMW slipped out of the opposite line and started quickly approach me - it looked as if he wanted to crash advisedly. He was at I guess 100mph speed and finallly he urged me to turn to the right curve in order to avoid the collision and my lovely Siena swong around two rev and leapt into the drain, small drain fortunately. I was not really frightened though furious for the BMW driver's behaviour! Now my car's at service, fixing the consequences of that incident: I broke the granade, steering rod, and the front axle as well suffered deformation.They promised to put on wheels my Fiat right up to New Year - that'll be a real present for me as my car means for me very much! I like my car!

unfortnately I'm not keen on economic and executive cars - I like pwerful and smart!

Welcome, Driver!

And sorry for that accident.

By the way, what advantages does a multi-spray injection have?

Perhaps instead of repairing it now you could order a new Siena 2006 constructed on the basis of new progressive technologies?

Fiat is one of the most relaible automobiles... Off course the breaks are happen but before you should be using it sharply. Driving Fiat's vehicles you know that it won't give you much bother. Off course every cook praises his own broth. However I have ground to praise Fiat. Among all cars I have ever used the last Fiat Marea is the best. After New Year I am going to purchase new Fiat of 2003-2005.
