"I arrive in Germany. Volkswagen Research Centre. It was January 1970. In the center of a huge room was a 128 completely disassembled and sectioned, piece by piece. I ask for explanations and they candidly answer that they will never be able to make a car with such refined mechanics at such a low price. For this the Golf will have to be smaller. In short, the 128 was their reference car " Giorgetto Giugiaro This says a lot.

Fiat experimented with the end on gearbox FWD layout with the Primula model under Auto Bianchi . Certainly , the 128 set the benchmark for how most FWD cars are produced today allied to Macpherson strut suspension , allowing one production manoeuvre to install engine /gearbox/ front suspension/ brake assembly. Meaning production costs very much reduced. This model also included the excellent Sport coupe models including the 3P after , and played a part in introduction of the excellent mid engined X19

I had a 74 USA spec 4 door with the giant bumpers. It was a great car in the winter snow once you got it started. It had a great heater and lots of room and cargo space. Now I have an 81 131 Brava, a 84 Bertone x1/9 and a n 88 Yugo GVX.

A great video, Johnny. Very informative. However, you forgot the Fiat 128 3P, which was a three door hatchback version of the coupe. There was a utility (pickup) version in South Africa, too.

In Egypt the Nasr was produced even until 2009. On the contrary, the 128 was never produced by Seat - at least not the sedan.

I can't understand why Fiat would stop producing these. I owned two of these in the U.S., and the gas mileage was superb. A fun little car.

You know, keep in mind that it's been in production for 14 years. Its transformation gave birth to 2 very successful models: the FIAT Ritmo/Strada and the Lancia Delta. The Ritmo was marketed in 1978 and in any case the 128 remained in production in Italy for another 5 years. Great car. I don't know if you know that the VW Golf was developed on the studies of the 128. Great car

At 8:12 min. it says that the VW Golf I probably was a better car. Well, I remember a contemporary British test comparing the two. The conclusion was that the Golf clearly had potential for further development and eventually becoming the better car - but at the time of the test the 128 had better finish and was simply more mature and still very competitive. Moreover, despite being five years older, it offered much more space to the passengers, particularly on the rear seats (the one's of the Golf in fact were a bad joke). The only (but very important) positive differentiator of the Golf was the hatchback that Fiat did not dare to present in 1969 (although they had a design study).

Thank you and I highly appreciate your comment. Some years ago friend of mine bought a second hand mk1 golf 1 with the 50 hp petrol engine. Even was the pre facelift model with the small tail lights. The car was with full service history and …. Just over 315 000 miles or half million kilometres. He used the car for 4 years with no single problem. Just the problem was eating too much oil But really too much. Was extremely reliable Personally I have 2 Fiat cars at the moment and I will always prefer Fiat 😊👍 thank you 😊

@@kirisgarage8590 My first and second car were 128s. The second one was a 1300 sedan which became 17 years and nearly 200.000 km old. Very impressive for any car from 1977 in Germany with its winters with a lot of salt on the streets. Today I am owning five Fiats with a total age of 194 years 😉. One of them is a 128 again - a Sport L 1300. It still does not feel old at all - except from the missing fifth gear.
