In 1985, I acquired a 1981 Fiat Strada four door with the 1.5 liter fuel injected engine with 75 horsepower. It was fun to drive for the time, with a five speed manual transmission and lightweight. Unfortunately, Fiats of that era were very prone to rust. By 1988, it was too badly rusted to drive, so I sold it for scrap. I have since then driven another small Fiat (Fiat Uno I believe) while visiting Ireland, and I found it also fun to drive.
