We had a 2007 Fiat (Panda M-Jet Turbodiesel). The perceived quality on it was very good, loads better than I expected, doors shut with a proper thud and all that. Had a look underneath and in the engine bay eventually though and most of the bits seemed to be very fragile looking so in that respect nothing much had changed since the Mk2 Panda I had 20 years ago. The only thing that puts me off Italian and French cars these days is the electrics once they are out of warranty, everything else seems pretty much sorted.
