I don't know of anyone with one, but the Fiat engine is going to be a lot better on the fuel side than the TX. For that matter I think Concorde was also better than a TX. :roll:

I hear the injectors cost over a grand to change, (if they come out in one piece...)

The Warrenty on TW is pretty well useless (in my opinion), Fiat dont want to know the non fiat parts on the vehicle.

The service agency set up and warrenty for non fiat bits is a nightmare.
