1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Fun and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew.
Can overheat during long journeys.
General comments?
This is a fantastic first car for people looking for some fun. Ideal for country lanes as it handles at speed fantastically. The acceleration is impressive for a small engine and driving is always enjoyable. It also looks pretty cool inside and out, particularly in bright yellow!
