2000 Fiat Seicento S review from UK and Ireland
"Simply excellent value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Major:
1. CV joint started leaking after 3 years.
Nothing else!
Minor:
1.Door seals on rare occasions leak some rainwater (small amount).
2. Car radio after 3 years started to give faults with faulty connection - cuts out in mid stream.
General comments?
Though I do low mileage, mainly around town (as intended for a car like this), I have had remarkably few problems over 4 years.
Great for town driving, great on the motorway, but not great for minor roads (poor overtaking power, poor high speed cornering and poor road holding etc.)
Interior and exterior design great, best looking small car in my opinion, but build quality barely average - yet fine for the price you are paying.
Good room in the front, acceptable in the back for children. Adults in the back is fine for short journeys.
Great mpg, 40 to 45 around town.
Cheap to insure as 899cc engine.
Overall an excellent town car if you want good looks, cheap purchase and low running costs! Unbeatable for this.
