My mother owned for years a ''Fiat 500'' (500cc) in its 'station-wagon' version. Not only is the car by itself terrible, but in that version it is simply horrendous. I remember having to get out of the car with my family 1/4 mile before home, because we lived up a gentle hill, and the car just couldn't make it. The biggest thrill I ever had was reaching 35mph with it once, and still that was going downhill in Neutral, while throwing outside the upholstery to make it lighter, and hiding ourselves under the dashboard to gain penetration (:-)))). I am so glad they don't make them like they used to.... -jh
