1992 Fiat Premio SL review from Brazil
"An average car that was never a classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine is OK, but when you need to rush (overtaking another car, for example), the engine is just not strong enough.
It´s not a very comfortable car.
The looks of this car does not impress people. It looks like an Uno Mille with a tail. It´s weird.
The brakes are not strong enough to stop the car.
General comments?
My Premio with an argentine engine is almost free-of-maintenance. The car just did not need a mechanic for years.
The engine, the brakes, suspension, everything is very tough.
The only problem is the obsolete look of the car. It looks like a thin Tempra. The panel is not very beautiful as well. And the car lacks an impressive design. I had a VW Beetle and a Buggy. The Buggy is just a funny car. The Beetle is a classic. And I also drove a Chevrolet Comodoro for a while, and it looks like a limousine. The Premio is... just a Premio.
