One of my friends had a yellow Cinquecento Sporting back when they first came out. We all thought it was great fun until he was in a relatively low speed accident and nearly died.
Seriously, a bubble jacket would be a safer bet in an accident.
Not just Fiats either. I had a Peugeot 106 GTi when they first came out. Great car, handled beautifully... but made out of tin foil. I was unfortunate enough to make contact with a lump of metal on the motorway. Nothing big at all, but it left an apple-sized inch deep dent in the bonnet. Made me think what would happen if I ever came into contact with anything more substantial...
