1999 Fiat Seicento sporting arbath review from UK and Ireland
"I nearly bought a Zetec-S, but chose this instead!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My radiator cracked spilling water all over the road and me stranded for two hours. Quickly fixed by Fiat, but did set me back £200.
Car was recalled for petrol tank replacement. This was done by Fiat dealer free of charge.
General comments?
The Sporting is by far better looking than the normal models. In my opinion the extras fitted by Fiat on my Arbath also add a bit more style.
No-one can argue with the fuel economy of these cars. I once managed to make 315 miles!! from one complete tank of petrol, and I mean a complete tank. The car ran out of petrol and grined to a halt less than a mile from the petrol station.
