1997 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Great cheap way to enter the performance car world!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the driver's door hinges broke, which meant the door was hanging off.
Interior quality is not great.
General comments?
Steering feels heavy (because it doesn't have power steering).
Very nippy around town.
Feels very tiny.
Cabin has lots of room - for such a small car.
