1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from Chile
"Nice looking, cheap and fun to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a minor problem with the injection system when I bought it and some other details I fixed.
The only problem I have now is a small leakage in the heater system.
General comments?
I had a trip recently. About 1000 kms in a row without problems. The second 500 kms were with the car heavy loaded. It took more time to reach 100 kmh, but my Cinquecento did it.
After fixing some problems from the previous owner, I can now say that I trust my car.
And an important thing: this car can make people turn their heads to see it.
