Head gasket went at 30000 miles
Fan switch needed replacing - car constantly overheated.
Had to have new radiator fitted due to the above.
Brakes needed replacing often.
Ongoing problems with electrics- brake lights stopped working, headlights only dim - apparently an electrical fault.
Bought this car because it was cute and small enough to be cheap to run and service.
It is cheap on fuel, insurance and tax, but what you save on those areas, you will pay out again to maintain it!
It is uncomfortable and unreliable. I have spent a fortune getting bits and pieces fixed over the years. Avoiding Fiat dealers who are more expensive is problematic as mechanics find the car troublesome to work on due to its size and the way its been put together. Consequently, it ain't cheap or easy to fix!
Its value has also now depleted so much that its virtually worthless.
I do not agree with this review I have recentlly brought a Fiat Cinquecento SX and I thought that the car was very good. It is comftable reliable and cheap to run and I have had no problem with it so far.
