1998 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"A big GO-KART a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Middle section of exhaust needed replacing after 33,000 miles.
Rear drums lock when left for a long time.
Rear windscreen smashed due to heater problem.
General comments?
Despite only a 1.1 it is surprisingly nippy and pips most cars off the line.
Has a severely hot head when driving in traffic.
Drives like a GO-KART very responsive.
Fuel Consumption superb.
Great looking package for the money.
