well why not, it only takes 2 minutes to make new one ;-)

we had the pallas break in 80's-90's. the trick was never ever to let a mechanic touch it. I maintained my parents car myself, a blue 2.5 turbo diesel break, and it ran flawlessly up to 380.000km and was still working fine when we traded it in.

everyone saying these are expensive, well yes but don’t have to buy them you can rent them. So NO excuse

it’s a fiat with lots of plastic, that’s all. don’t expect more....

and it cost a fortune to replace. Considering here in the north they put gravel on roads because salt will just freeze over. As a result your windscreen will have cracks and pits in no-time. Consider to replace a $2000 windscreen every year? no thanks. the car needs to warm up properly from -30 deg C anyway....

so it has a lithium battery in the back and a lead battery in the front, way to go sticking in the past. Audi should have gone one step further and ditched the lead battery for a lithium which is 10% of the size and weight of the lead battery...

and what are they going to do? give free mcafee subscriptions?
