Faults:

The fan for the heating does not work.

The speedometer does not work.

Both these faults were present when I bought the car and nothing else has gone wrong since.

General Comments:

I love this car! It's little and cute and looks great. This car has been well cared for by its previous owner.

This car is saving me at least £10 per week in fuel costs compared to my previous car.

Because of its size it's really easy to maneuver in small spaces, great for doing u-turns and three point turns. I have extra space in my garage and it takes less time to wash and polish than a bigger car.

I would highly recommend this little Fiat. I never want to drive anything else!

Faults:

Radiator broke and began leaking not long after I got the car. It cost approximately £200 to fix.

Seats are wearing badly.

Handbrake broke, still needing to be fixed.

Windscreen Wiper broke and made a large scratch along the windscreen.

Engine molding needs replacing.

General Comments:

This type of car is cheap, fun and a good handler. But too many things have gone wrong with my car in such a short time that I am starting to really dislike it. I paid £900 for it and I have nearly half paid for it again with repairs. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this particular model.

Faults:

Front Wiper Linkage assembly fell apart 6 months after purchase - Replacement cost £50 from scrap yard.

Drivers side wiper hole fell in, meaning a plate had to be put it.

General Comments:

Great fun, if not a bit frightening when taking corners too fast!!

Good fuel efficiency.

Boot size it a bit annoying.

Loads of room inside it!

K+N Induction makes it accelerate faster and sound much better.

Faults:

Cylinder which holds in water broke.

Spark plug blew.

Handbrake had to be fixed.

General Comments:

This car is really cheap to run insure and tax. It is a brilliant little car for everyday use. Really spacious inside for being so small on the outside.

Faults:

Handbrake not too reliable - doesn't hold the car when parked on a steep hill.

Sunroof sometimes leaks.

Continued Electrical faults (brake lights don't work, headlights dim, clock light doesn't work)

Very noisy rear suspension.

Boot doesn't seem to shut very easily - sometimes takes several attempts.

Heated rear window doesn't work.

Locks freeze easily.

General Comments:

Well, despite all the little things above, I think the car is excellent. It handles well and is brilliant on those little country roads with sharp corners. The car manages to accelerate out of the corners pretty well, and the brakes are excellent.

Not too good for motorway driving, I've found the fuel injection warning light comes on when you push the car above 80mph. Also the noise above 60mph is quite bad - the seals aren't too great so most of it is just wind.

Overall I think this car is an excellent drive and well worth the £1000 it cost me. Its cheap to insure and cheap to run.

Faults:

Replacement of petrol tank.

General Comments:

Cheap and cheerfull car, better built than my previous car, a fiat Panda, which was also a good reliable cheap car!

Faults:

I did have problems with the injection system at 25,000 miles, that's about it.

General Comments:

This is my first car and to be honest, I've fallen in love with it. It's not a performance car but I've found it to be extremly reliable, and great fun to drive. I would recommend it as a second family car or a first car.
