2001 Fiat Seicento S review from Romania
"Nice town car. Just that"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, nothing really. It makes a lot of noise when going over a bumper or a hole, and it makes it uncomfortable. The suspension was changed in the back, and it makes the same noise.
The ABS sign appeared on the dashboard, a wire was broken. The ABS didn't work. Repaired the brakes, but they doesn't work as well now as before.
The oil from the transmission leaks.
General comments?
This is a car for town. I had no other car and I had to go with this car to the highway. It doesn't go very fast, but the consumption is low. Around 5 litres/100km.
There is no room in the back.
The good part of this car is the engine. It runs very well. The bad part is the handling. My car doesn't have any power steering and it makes it very hard to park.
The materials are cheap. The parts are cheap and easy to find.
