1992 Fiat Tipo Brio review from UK and Ireland
"It gets kicked a lot!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear windscreen wiper only works when it wants to.
Tracking & bushes are OK, but it still eats front tyres.
Central locking packed up in 1994.
Very difficult to start in damp weather.
Annoying flat spot on acceleration.
Hand brake ratchet doesn't hold.
Component changes: alternator, starter motor, clutch cylinder, front arms, 3 exhaust rear pipes, 4 distributor caps, 4 rotor arms, and an engine sensor.
General comments?
When it runs well it is a nice car to drive, but it is totally unreliable.
