I used to drive the multipla, and I tell you what! People used to fight to sit in the front because it had 3 front seats! The 1.9jtd after tuning had 150hp so I went head on with golfs and polos. When I bought it it was “Car of the future” but the memes made it look bad.
The rental car agencys in Austria and Germany had a huge amount of those. They didn’t sell well because of the optics, but if you needed a replacement car because yours broke down, they were awesome and always in stock.
Jeeze, I dunno…doesn’t look all that weird to me.
A true monstrosity of a design but the technology going under the hood and into the car itself was phenomenal for the time.
Bi-fuel engines, completely flat engine hood, wide door, lots of room inside for people and cargo. A good car.
Doesn’t beat the gross experience of seeing a cybertruck on the road. I wanna point and laugh every time. The multipla is cute in comparison. Look at this goofy lil guy <3
I would choose the Cybertruck design over this, every time.
The Multipla is just inoffensive uggo. I’d rather have that than a PT Cruiser.
That thing looks like someone’s just discovered the concept of curves and is just going hog wild with it. The cyberdumpster is still the worst for many reasons, but goddamn, the Cruiser is putting up a respectable fight.
I don’t think PT Cruiser is that bad. It looks like every other early oughts car except that at least this one is attempting to bring some styling from the early hot rods.
Awh, the Plymouth Prowler is actually one of my favorite cars. 😅
As ugly as they are, I’ve never met a boring pt cruiser driver. Awful alcoholic narcissists, your basic bad bitches. Often objectively awful people, but never boring.
It looks like a car carrying its little car friend on its back.
Would always prefer this reasonable priced vehicle with european safety measures over the ridiculously overpriced, rusty garbage container cutting fingers off or trapping people inside because of an update on a hot summer day.
I have owned two FIATs and a Lancia (FIAT Group) Delta. The Lancia was the funnest car I’ve ever owned. It chomped my Golf GTI any day. Road handling was a dream, equipment was amazing, things like stock Recaro seats, etc. That said, I will never own a FIAT again. FIAT is Stellantis: FIAT, Peugeot, Chrysler, Citroen… Amazing impulse buys. Sweet cars new, but they age horrendously.
They are designed to fail in the short term. Amazing innovations, power oriented engines, but just too flimsy.
The Multipla is a great concept executed the FIAT way.
I believe Honda had a 6 seater subcompact. The CHR or CRV? I can’t remember. I’d pick the Honda any day.
The MKII had much better styling, BTW
I’ve rebuilt two FIAT engines. An engineer’s wet dream. A 1,20L that output nearly a 100 HP? yes, but a shitload of compromises. the fucking head was the top engine support!!! Fuck FIAT.I must admit that the 900 was simpler than a scooter’s engine. You could probably work on it with a Leatherman and some duct tape, but I have owned motorcycles with 3X the power output. I’ve driven some Cinquecentos. Opening the hood/bonnet has given me PTSD.
It was the Honda HRV, and it couldn’t hold a candle to the Multipla.
The Multipla had 6 full size seats that could all comfortably hold adults, plus the backseats where individually removable. I loaded a couch sideways in that car. Absolutely brilliant.
The middle seats on the HRV were significantly smaller, no comparison in terms of usefulness and versatility.
I drove a Fiat Panda through the hills of Tuscany. Only let off the gas to shift and still barely broke 50 km/h. lol
This car was ahead of it’s time. I love it
When will it’s time be though? Because it was ugly then and it’s still ugly now.
Yeah but the mod options are insane
I can hear that damn brake pedal already…
Bing it instead
Google? I’m European, I’ve seen this on the streets. Still sometimes do. My friend had one.
I learned to drive in one (I guess the driving school got a good price on them due to the low demand lmao).
the multipla is one of my all time favourite cars such a silly little guy!!
1294 horse power ahh tuned car
Chimera ahh car
