No, this 1242cc Fiat engine based on the non-interference FIAT 999cc FIRE engine, but it isn't non interference. A Fiat dealer will change the timing belt and waterpump at a fixed price of £328, so no need to pay a Ford dealer more for the job.

Easy to drive and economical. Based on the Fiat 500 but handles much better. More room in rear than 500.
