Really? Tipos are galvanised and don't rust unless badly damaged

Also the reputation for corrosion was earned by the older cars such as the croma, but modern fiats are generally very good for corrosion.

Yeah my punto is galvanised 95% of the metal is anyhow. Got 8 yr anti-corrosion warranty to got three years left Smile They reckon that it will only rust if damaged by a scrape etc.
The red punto I have 10 yrs old had not one bubble of rust anywhere (apart fom the whole underside Laughing )
