1999 Fiat Seicento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Only £3300 for fun, fun, fun!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Locks broken at some stage and original stereo stolen. Previous owner replaced with 8 CD changer, but it looks like stealing the standard Fiat CD stereo is a common problem as it happened to a friends too.
Found a couple of paint/rust bubbles after only 3 years! One on the sun roof metal rim and the other under the window sill on the boot. My 1992 Panda was painted with more care!
General comments?
Very fast 0-40 for a 1.1 Engine. Gear ratios are close for pulling away from lights. Miles better than the other 2 1.1 cars I've owned.
More room in the back for rear passengers that my pops Audi TT. Sacrificed boot space to do it though, but it's much bigger than a minis.
Cheap to run. Cost me just £19 to fill up and it last 3 weeks at about 14 miles per work day.
