Several people I know, including my mum have had fiats, and as quick as you fix things they break again.

Buy a cheap Fiesta Zetec S, they are stupidly cheap to buy, fix and run.....reliable to.

I know you anguish though, i have always had french cars. My first car a 205 died, my second 205 never ran right, my 306 I spent a fortune on fixing, one bill alone was £800 odd. My laguna 1.9DCi was of the legendary FK9 engine, it could get 80mpg but also enjoyed blowing up and eating flywheels I spent ALOT on that also and got rid before it blew up fataly...........and fiats are supposed to be worse than french for reliability.
trouble is limited by budget and cars as it must be an auto.. the 1997 fiesta autos gearbox was a dud, and few other cars are any good at all if they are small and auto, with a max price of 2k.
