1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent Little Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Excessive Amount Of Shaking Over 70mph.
Washer Bottle Has Huge Leak.
Heater Dial Does Not Work.
Tracking Is Out (Mostly due to it being kerbed by the previous owner)
Over Heats Quickly in traffic.
General comments?
An Amazing Car!!!
Leather Steering Wheel, Leather Gear Knob, Electric Windows, Central Locking And Alloy Wheels All For £600.
Its very much a girls car accept in black like mine.
Mine has been lowered, has a K&N Induction Kit and Janspeed Exhaust Which really make her growl.
Has amazing acceleration off the line and through the gears and sounds amazing until about 5,000rpm where it starts to scream a bit to much.
Very basic interoir, but I used to have a mini so this hasn't been a problem for me.
Boot is tiny and back seat leg room is poor, but I'm a 19 year old boy racer type so again these facts have not been a problem for me.
Only problem I've have with them is they tend to overheat quite quickly in traffic, but apart from that they are great little cars.
