1998 Fiat Seicento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of fun, but not reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery decided to stop working not long after I bought it.
The clutch cable snapped when I came to a roundabout.
Had to get a new sump as there was a bad oil leak.
The clutch decided to go most recently making a high pitched screeching noise and then deciding not to go into gear.
General comments?
The car is very good looking, I have an abarth body kit on mine and it looks great.
Car handles great when driving and taking corners.
The little seicento is also surprisingly fast for a 1.1.
It doesn't take well to a load of passengers, still a great drive though.
The car is a lot of fun to drive, but very unreliable, a lot of faults within a short space of time!
