Who remembers this little gem?

[NXA-16H]

It's called a Niki-650, ie a polish-manufactured Fiat-126.

It arrived in Australia early 1990's. You hardly see any nowadays... :sigh:

Am I the only person who feels this way?

I dont like them. I like old cars, but they dont tickle my fancy.
The foggies and sunroof is aftermarket?

Ahh the latter day equivalent of a Datsun 120Y, later to be succeeded by the late 90's Hyundai Excel.

Utter rubbish. But at least the Niki was semi-cute!

i remember them, they used to give them away on the price is right in the early 90's..

would make a good toy car..

unfortunately not a great idea for australian roads in my opinion

Yep, I know the Fiat 126 well.....when I was in Italy (a couple of decades ago) I got to drive it's successor the Fiat 127 and I really liked it, of all the Fiat's I drove the 127 was the 'neatest' machine, the Fiat 850 was the most entertaining and the Fiat 128 was the best sounding

But as mentioned above by others their appeal these days is not so great.

Funny you should mention it, but just this weekend I had a older man driving one in Brisbane tailgate me along Cavendish Rd for a few km's. This bloke must have been 80 and he sat cms from my bumper.When we approached a turning vehicle and the traffic in front of me slowed he nearly ran into the back of me. He swerved into other lane just missing me and lucky for him no one else coming. I was not amused!!!!!

lol, if he was that old, I'd say he had a prob. with his eyesight, probably tail gating you as a guide....

Thankfully no accident occured

The Fiat Bambino was way cuter! (hmmm, typical, screw up a perfectly good design by trying to modernize it)
