1987 Fiat Uno Turbo i.e review from UK and Ireland
"A classic true 80's pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had some overheating trouble, when at lights and traffic jams, even when I had the cooling system overhauled and rewired
by fiat (whom don't seem to be intrested at all with a car of this age) although I told them money was no object. Sadly the gearbox went on me and no-one and I found it immpossible to source one.
General comments?
This was one of the best cars I had ever owned. I had a Alfa Romeo 33 clover leaf, and a fiat strada abarth. The performance is amazing aswell as fuel costs.
The turbo kicks in lovely at 4000rpm and
I added a K&N filter wich gave an extra 10 Horse power, some splitfireplugs and always
using Agip semisint oil. The cabin was roomy and the seats were comfortable. It does eat tyres though!!! A great town car with brilliant performance, it once demolished a Porsche 944!!!
