1997 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front windscreen washer failed after a service.
Headlamps stayed on after being put in OFF position. Hope it doesn't happen again.
General comments?
The FIAT dealer is fine but FIAT themselves were appalling. I received a rear shunt. The repairs were put at 2-3 days. FIAT ran out of bumpers! and it took 8 weeks!!!!!!!
The dealer couldn't do anything about it. He searched Ireland and England. There were none in Italy and there were none on the production line in Poland.
I wouldn't buy a FIAT again because this situation was allowed to arise. I don't have faith in them.
