Idea Newbie from Finland

[Juhli]

Hello there to all,

I joined today here to see if there is someone else Fiat Idea driver's on this planet still.
My wife's parents purchased this orange beast in 2005 (new). It was important that it has space for traveling to Europe
by car here from Finland for them + it fits inside the garage + there is easy to stand up after 3-9h driving session also on age of +70.

Now it has been in our hands about 4 years. No big issues or services. Most of those are just normal wearing stuff but not much.

Since I am not a car mechanic/etc. expert (my dad was) I joined here to continue life for the Idea and look what is here and learn more.

P.S You can see on the paint Fiat logo which is due tape (when sold) and UV combo

Welcome to the every shrinking number of Idea drivers! I have been using mine since 2008. It has been such good car that I cannot get rid of it. It's been brilliant. One thing I would do if I were you is to keep it well polished. The laquer can break down - mine really started breaking down when it was about 17 years old. It's now 19.
