Fix it again tomorrow, FIAT

This was my first car and I always tell anyone not to get it. I could write a book about the short ownership I had. It was a dualogic semi auto, the gearbox was constantly leaking, cost me around 1000 pounds in repairs. No other garage was even touching the gearbox but Fiat. By the end they wanted me to pay more than 2 grand to change the whole transmission system.
I had constant random faults, window sliding down by itself, heating only working on the highest setting, going into neutral at the busiest junctions and on the motorway due to the gearbox issue.
By the end it was so unreliable I couldnt even to a shopping trip without it breaking down.
The worse car by far. Only good point was the fuel consumption, a full tank of 40 pounds lasted a whole month , whereas my new car, an astra gtc 40 pounds is enough for about 3 weeks and i do the same amount of driving.
So in summary: dont get this car unless you want to become a regular visitor at your local mechanic.
