1996 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and cheerful runabout"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan belt gone.
Electric window failed.
Door leaked (badly).
Rattles underneath the car.
Keeps stalling (fuel tank problem).
General comments?
I did love this car to bits at the start, but after being so unreliable I can't wait to get rid of it.
It's only good for shopping trips as well due to the amazingly cramped legroom.
