I guess that nowadays, there is not such a big difference in breaking down from other cars
we have porsches mercedes and audis and some small fiat , and the only cars that has never let me down in order to call a tow are the fiats!!!!!!
sound incredible but that is my case, so i would not worry so much about the possibility to a car break down, the quality insted of the interior are of course much worse
Exactly! All these prejudices have a beard now... We're living in 2013, not in 1983... Bad cars don't exist anymore, at least not in the civilized world. The only thing that lacks with several brands is the service their dealers give.
The only cars I see on emergency lanes with the hood open, are French (most), German or Swedish cars. (No... That's not because the Italian cars already broke down at home....) And the "rust"-thing is long behind us... Now all cars have at least a galvanized body, or are made from other materials than steel.
Actually, the only car that I've had some troubles with, was my current Boxster S (Roof was stuck and wouldn't close anymore). Never had an issue with any other car ever, not with Alfa, not wit Audi, not with Fiat, not with BMW...
