1993 Fiat Cinquecento review from UK and Ireland
"Small affordable (ha ha) car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator broke and began leaking not long after I got the car. It cost approximately £200 to fix.
Seats are wearing badly.
Handbrake broke, still needing to be fixed.
Windscreen Wiper broke and made a large scratch along the windscreen.
Engine molding needs replacing.
General comments?
This type of car is cheap, fun and a good handler. But too many things have gone wrong with my car in such a short time that I am starting to really dislike it. I paid £900 for it and I have nearly half paid for it again with repairs. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy this particular model.
