1999 Fiat Seicento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Very reliable, great runaround"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint on the bonnet is of poor quality compared to the rest of the car. Fiat did not honour their paint warranty when a very acidic bird poop ate through the top layer & left the white undercoat showing through. Thought this was a bit bad customer service from the Fiat dealer.
General comments?
The engine has started to get a bit sluggish.
The handling is great in the dry, somewhat slippery in the wet!
I find the types very expensive to replace as they are a rare size, not always stocked in all tyre shops.
I'm tall, and find there is plenty of room for the driver & passengers.
Insurance is cheap, shame the Fiat services are still so expensive! I don't take mine to Fiat any longer due to the high costs involved.
