1997 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"F.I.A.T. fix it again tomorrow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Leak @ 3,000 miles.
Wind screen washer reservoir leaking.
Seat belts don't retract.
Every part of the dashboard creaks.
Fuel tank had to be replaced (recalled by Fiat)
General comments?
Not a bad car considering you can pick up a second hand one for next to nothing, but everything seems to go wrong with them, but then again it is a Fiat.
Aside from all that they're quite a nippy little car.
