Not a bad little car, but kinda misses out on the "cute" styling points that other small cars from its era get. High meh. I don't hate the car (and I'm surprised it hasn't been done before) but I just didn't feel like going any higher.

It's got a spare tire footrest for the front passenger!

 

[Scaff]

That's about as sub-zero as it damn well gets.

 

[CTznOfTime]

did not know such a thing existed...

now i know where the "Multipla" nameplate came from, it wasn't invented just in the 90s...

this is cool, not sub zero tho...

When I see "Fiat Multipla," I keep thinking of that FIAT Multipla GT3 car someone made for "Assetto Corsa." That was a 1990s-ish Multipla, but we're discussing this vintage Multipla. Very easy Cool for me. I don't think it's absolutely adorable, but I do think it is a very cute car with a fairly obscure design.

It’s impossible not to look at this car and hear cheerful Italian folk music in your head.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Childhood memories of an eccentric neighbour probably aren't normal definition of cool, but that doesn't matter.

The only person I knew who drove one of these things was a beatnik, a very odd and antisocial one at that. The sports car crowd I hung around with did not admire them. Although they did get interested in the Fiat-Abarth. The 750cc Fiat engine was commonly installed in our 750cc class for racing sports cars, then referred to as H-Modified.

 

[GranTurNismo]

The only non-ugly Multipla.

 

[HaydenFan69]

Is there an uncool car made in Italy? And this one is also super original. 10/10 would def spend all my money to keep alive.

 

[MoLiEG]

Send it to he... wait.

There is actually a good looking Multipla in this world??? I've just learned something new today.

Very, veeery high Coool.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Looks? Adorable.

Space? Not much.

Italian? Mama-mia Pizzeria.

Layout? Porsche.

Speed? Forward.

Roof Rack? Optional.

Sub-Zero? Abso-tootly.

 

[Centroid]

Its cute but the cab forward almost backwards styling doesn't really work. Also I wonder how much it would struggle with 6 people on board. Overall meh.

 

[ZGBox]

This car itroduced the concept of a practical car to italians in a way, but it's cheerful and it's still fondly remembered to this day.
I'll give it a very high Cool.
