1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent fun for the younger driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable broke after 2 weeks of owning the car.
Replaced distributor coil costing £100.
Oil and water leaks.
Overheats in traffic jams (really annoying)
And finally... it keeps getting scratched and dented, every week I look at it and I see a new dent or scratch on the bodywork which is very very annoying.
General comments?
Exceedingly nippy in town and will do 100mph on the motorway all day long. No major problems with this stunning yellow pocket rocket (yet). It beats a lot of those boy racer's cars off the mark at traffic lights and leaves a lot of cars standing on the motorway. This is my first car and will probably be the coolest car I will ever own!!!
