I am hoping to import one next year Raph...if you’re willing to fly up to Nova Scotia, you’re welcome to review it when the time comes! :D

Re: your comment on FIAT - I have a thing for classic FIATs, so I agree! I would love to see them have a rear-engined 500 as well. They have the TwinAir engine series, they are small and lightweight enough to be mounted in the back of something Twingo style!

Good luck!!! Let us know how it goes!

I’ve thought about taking my FIAT 126 on a long road trip once I finally have the right life situation to import it.

Huh. I wonder if anybody has ever invented a mechanical glovebox that contains a small slit where a mechanical lock opening device can be placed to activate a system which locks said glovebox until the same lock opening device is once again inserted to reverse the operation?

Stick for me as well!

Could be...maybe it DOES have CAN...I’m probably wrong, but I don’t recall my OBDII scanner telling me it is connecting via the CAN protocol when I link it up to my car...?

If it does, I know it can’t have many modules....there aren’t enough features to warrant it, haha!

No ABS! No TPMS! It’s got a stick....so airbag, ECU and Body module maybe, but I imagine that’s it!

I have a thing for cheap, basic, reliable cars! :)

Could be, but pretty sure my car only has one main module that I am aware of, i.e. the ECU. Maybe a few other minor engine-related ones, but that’s it?

It’s a stick, so pretty sure there is no transmission module? Otherwise, it’s a stripper module...no power anything, no A/C, etc. The climate controls are all manual,

Very cool video...makes me glad my older ‘09 Accent is vastly more simple than this, and is going to make my owning of my FIAT 126 all the more simplistic once I get it! :)

Holy crap! I never knew this existed, but DAMN if this thing isn’t amazing!

Hear Hear!

Amen! I have a base, stripper model 2009 Hyundai Accent hatchback, which IS a new car, but one with NO features. Anytime I get into something newer, I always feel the same way you do....’what is all this extra stuff....’

Good review David! You guys only get the 2018 Accent sedan, but we will also get it in hatchback form up here in Canada! :)

I’ve got a 2009 Accent 3-door hatch and it’s been a great car. Only 110hp, but I always thought the shifter was quite nice...a bit longer throws on the older cars, but a nice feeling clutch,

I suppose that’s true.

Zing at Tesla. :P

Maybe so, but I wouldn’t really call the Cord mass-produced...they only sold something like 4000 of them compared to like 750,000 Traction Avants over the years.

At least all my dream cars are affordable! FIAT 126p imported from Poland to Canada? Something like $6000 CAD IMPORTED, including shipping and import fees! :P
