The Fiat Marea and Marea Weekend, produced from 1996 to 2002, were two popular models that marked a significant shift in Fiat's design language and engineering approach. The Marea, a sedan, and the Marea Weekend, a station wagon, were designed to appeal to a broader market, offering a spacious and comfortable interior, a modern and sleek exterior, and a range of engine options. While retaining some of the traditional Fiat characteristics, including a playful and somewhat quirky personality, the Marea series showcased a more refined and sophisticated approach. They offered a range of petrol and diesel engines, from 1.4-liter to 2.0-liter, providing a balance of performance and fuel efficiency that catered to different driving needs. The Marea, with its generous trunk space and comfortable seating, quickly became a popular choice for families and commuters, while the Weekend, with its versatility and practicality, offered a compelling option for those seeking a spacious and functional family car. Despite its innovative design and functional attributes, the Marea series didn't achieve widespread commercial success, particularly in markets outside of Europe. The model's reliability and longevity were often criticized, with several common issues reported, including suspension problems, electrical gremlins, and engine malfunctions. These issues, coupled with a lack of brand recognition in certain markets, ultimately hindered the Marea's success. However, the model remains a significant part of Fiat's history, demonstrating the company's ambition to tap into a wider market segment with a stylish and practical offering. The Marea series, despite its shortcomings, has garnered a cult following among enthusiasts and owners who appreciate its unique design, its comfortable ride, and its spacious interior. For those seeking to own or maintain a Marea or Marea Weekend, a dedicated workshop repair and service manual is an invaluable resource, providing detailed information on all aspects of the vehicle, from routine maintenance to complex repairs.
