2003 Fiat Seicento Sporting Abarth review from UK and Ireland
"Its the BMW of go-carts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
Surprising performance to about 40mph, and then it runs out of steam a little, although it will do 80mph with little effort. The gear change is OK, but not great.
The steering is light and direct, and inspires confidence. Not too much body roll up to about 50 mph, but don't try to be a rally driver much above that!
The stereo is fairly good, with a range of sound settings, and a clear sound. Looks boring though.
The seats are comfortable, but ride can be a little bumpy.
Its quiet, and very economic, 280 miles cost me £23ish, at about 75 pence per liter.
Its great fun round town, it feels fast, and fairly solid. It handles motorways as well, but don't get cocky with your overtaking.
