1998 Fiat Palio HL Full review from Turkey
"If you like using sport car and speed with fiat, this car is for you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First of all, the fuel consumption in city life is much more than I expected before. In spite of its low weight, it uses over 10 liters per 100 km in city.
It has also many problems in its different parts, I have seen. The spare part prices are low compared with others, but it creates much more matters which in conclusion makes this car expensive. I had spent my money on spare parts more than the fuel.
Furthermore, its comfort was not as good as I expected.
General comments?
My car was 1600 cc and 103 HP. That's why the acceleration is good. Design of the car is well. I saw 200 km speed with this car, with air condition open and fully filled by 4 persons and heavy luggage. According to me, it is designed for people who likes using sport cars, who loves speed. Also its length is small enough for parking bringing a good advantage.
It's not a family car. Its consumptions is not cheap compared with the same class cars.
