1994 Fiat Cinquecento review from UK and Ireland
"Over-all its fast, small and a comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My handbrake is not reliable, it does not hold the car on hills.
The car over heats all the time when stopped in traffic.
I've had to replace the head gasket twice within 16 months.
General comments?
I tend to find that the car can't take corner's more than 30 m.p.h. If you proceed at that speed it skids slightly also it feels as if it is going to topple.
It is a great mover I can get 95 m.p.h. on a straight road, but at around 90 m.p.h. the wheel gets shaky.
Parking is brilliant it fit's in practically anywhere.
