1997 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"It's awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My rocket cover gasket split. Needing a new one after 10 miles in the car.
Washer jets don't work, pipes all split.
General comments?
The car is really easy to drive.
It's pretty quick, and out accelerates a lot of my mate's cars, which all have a lot bigger engines.
The seats are uncomfortable too. I bought a cheap pair of bucket seats.
Handles like a go-kart.
Really economical 50 mpg plus.
Sounds good with a K&N air filter.
Great body kits for it.
Really simple to work on.
Fit 15" wheels on pretty easily.
A lot of head room for a little car.
