#8 1975 Fiat X-19


That's me with my X-19 around 1986. I know what your thinking "No one buys a second Fiat!". Yes there are serious reliability issues with these cars, but the fun it gave was worth it!

This car had a 1.3 Litre motor rated at a meager 61 HP and sat right behind you. This car was tiny and it was scary when a semi waited next to you at a red light because you know he couldn't see you.

This car is proof that you didn't have to have a lot of power to have a lot of fun. Just keep the pedal to the metal and enjoy the g forces. It handled awesomely and except for the ugly 5 mph bumpers, was really good looking.

I owned this car from 1986 to 1989.
