1992 Fiat Tipo DGT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many problems mostly related to poor build quality: loose seals; rattles and squeaks galore; poor paintwork; broken seatbelt.
Electrics: heated front seat failure; central locking failure. The car hasn't left me stranded but I couldn't wait to get rid of it.
General comments?
Potentially a very good car but let down by appalling build quality and even worse dealer assistance. The experience of owning this car has put me off Fiats for life.
