My new car for work - Fiat Multipla
Pirellis
Added 1 story
I'm from Chile, South America. I want to post here my car story, but the story will be about my work car, which doesn't belong to me, though I'm going to buy soon a car.
Recently our taxi company purchased new cars, it is entire party of new cars which will cater the people of Santyago - these are Fiat Multiplas. We work in it for two weeks and I want to share my impressions about it. We have summer here in Chile, it's hot. The roads here are not really very good though the main streets are covered with good asphalt.
Well, Fiat Multipla is an Italia produced car which costs around $20 000 as I heard. Our bosses were rather far-seeing and chose gas power arranged vehicles, they are more ecologically friendly and fuel economy is considerable. I haven't really reviewed the engine yet myself as we rarely do it, we have a mechanical car workshops and mechanics do everything on their own. But I know for sure Fiat Multipla has 1.6 engine, with 4 cylinders and 16 valves, the power capacity is near 100 h/p, it has a supercharger.
But the most interesting feature of this car is its inner compartment composition - it has 3 seats in front and 3 in rear - I've seen this only in this car, very unusual feature. These cars are widely used in Italy as taxis. In general I like this car - it has everything for taxi job - PAS, ABS, power windows, four airbags. I also appreciate the dash board which is very unusually designed in I'd say futuristic style. Just look at it!
Despite this car is not my, the Company's I take care of it as if it's mine so this is my car to reasonable extent.

A 6-place Fiat taxi? is it manoeuvrable and quick enough to work as a taxi?

I agree the inner composition of your car is at least unusual, and I appreciate the dashbord and transmission rod location design but the exterior is not to my taste, sorry but the car looks a bit ridiculous, funny...I hope you'll compose a story about your own car once...

I own a BMW and though I'm mad about my Z1 I admit there are many other good cars, Mercedes Benz of Fiat as well. I've read your car story, guy and I think you'd better buy your own automobile

Very interesting car, never seen this model of Fiat. It's in my opinion a real innovation to design the compartment in 3+3 model. I like this car story..thanks and don't forget to post about your car, I hope I'll read..
