That thing is a Cadillac compared to the car I rented on my honeymoon in Spain in 1972.
Got a Seat 600(Spanish built version of a Fiat,pronounced See-ot).A little tin can with an air cooled moped engine in the rear,4 speed trans,no radio,no A/C,manual brakes and steering and seats from a carnival ride.Took it on a 400Km trip to the northeast area where I had family.it was fine at 120Kph.At 130Kph the whole car lifted and floated,I guess because of the full undersided belly pan (it was unibody).Gotta admit it didn't use much gas in the two weeks I had it.
