The 130 engines are very reliable if maintained well. If not maintained well they can be nightmare just as the Citroen Sm and Fiat Dino. (Cambelts have to be Cahnged ANY 60.000!!! And the cambelt tensioner too and dont forget to check the Waterpump that is driven by the cambelt..if it breaks the cambelt will slip and damage the valves and pistons...Often the water pump breakdown causes an engine crash-- the bearing of the pump is seized due to water
Fiat 130 Coupé still is the nicest 70´s 2+2 Coupé, okay there was the Citroen SM Maserati, but this beast really was complex...so I prefer the Fiat...
Its a good car if maintained well, quite fast and comfortable
for a 70´s manufacture product car....O also had some other exote cars, especially those with american V8 (Iso Fidia amd Lele) none of these match the Fiat 130 regarding the suspension and good brakes, Fiat engine is also more reliable as the american slow speed huge piston irons
I love the sound of this car!!
