1998 Fiat Seicento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"A great if temperamental, Italian pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed twice.
Both rear trailing suspension arms replaced.
Both rear wheel bearings replaced.
Radiator cracked.
Head gasket blew.
Handbrake is not very good.
Uneven idle speed.
Clutch cable snapped.
General comments?
I love my car, it looks great.
I just wish it was more reliable.
However the garage I purchased it from have been excellent.
