I don’t know man, I had a 2010 Punto Evo that just refused to die.
Sure, I had to replace the clutch at 120,000km as the previous owner probably drove in a lot of stop and go traffic. But other than that it was my own stupidity or regular wear and tear that made it go to the mechanic for some work.
It even started overheating because of a coolant leak one time. I just drove it gently to the shop and got it fixed. No tow truck necessary, as the 77hp 1.4 liter engine barely generated any heat to begin with.
Reliability is all about odds. Being generally unreliable doesn’t mean every car will have an issue. Fiat’s issue is usually the quality of their subsidiaries though. I think their own brand isn’t as bad
Burned clutch at 120k is totally fine imo. I almost consider those to be maintenance.

I sold it at 230,000km a few months ago.
