1997 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flexi pipe before the cat gave up after 10k and headlights don't always come on first time. Also every time I look at the bodywork another small dent has appeared, but that's Italian cars for you.
General comments?
Considering the price it's an excellent car and is very cheap to run. The only big expense is the tyres because only Pirelli make that size. As an alternative put fifteens on with 195/45 tyres. Honestly they fit and really fill the arches. Add an Abarth bodykit and a Turbo conversion for GTi eating performance!
