"Sporty looking, quick, but unreliable."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed new clutch at 38,000 miles.

Needed new Cylinder head at 41,500 miles.

Needed new clutch cable at 46,000 miles.

Engine is producing a knocking noise that is really annoying.

Suspension is knocking on drivers side front, this is most likely to be happening because I didn't upgrade my shock absorbers when I put sports suspension on.

General comments?

Very nippy little car.

Perfect for City and Town use.

Will comfortably drive at 80mph on the motorway.

My friends brand new Clio 1.2 16v only just started sneaking away from me at 75mph!

Perfect 1st car for anyone.

I would advise other people to get one for the fun of driving it.

The thing that really lets this car down is the fact that there is always something going wrong with it, it's a shame the engine isn't more reliable.

I have owned a Fiat cinquecento Sporting for the last year, doing some long distance drives as I nip along the motorways at nearly 100mph..! I find this an incredible little car which is highly reliable.. Obviously I haven’t received to problems you have..? If anything went wrong with this car, I defiantly would buy another one!
