1998 Fiat Seicento Sporting from UK and Ireland - Comments

Hello my names Jesse. I have a Fiat Sci Sporting Abrath. Mine has done 60,000 miles. My Sci is very fast for a 1.1; mine will cruise at 120mph. I love this car. It's an S reg. First I had a smart car 0.6 Mercedes engine - quickest car ever. Would even kill my mate's VTS until 90! Then the limiter would kick in LOL. Then I had a brand new Jimy red jeep; it was lush with all the mods, but I much prefer this Sci - it's nippy as hell!

120 MPH from a 54 HP 1.1 I don't think so lol.

Hi I have got a s reg seicento sporting and I have had 120ish with my mates the mods I got are:

a straight though exhaust (no back box just pipe)

and a full vide sound system

does any 1 know were about I can get a bodykit 4 1??? help is needed.

Hi all! Just got a 2001 Abarth in black; how the hell can I make it faster?? I'm pushing so hard I think it might blow up! I have had it up to 95 mph, but I think it could be better. 1st gear is way too short, 2-3 are OK, 4-5 are blah blah.

h

The car looks the part, but is going nowhere fast, please help... :(

Hi I own a fiat seicento 1.1 sporting since owning the car many problems have occurred 1) gearbox unable to select gears resulting in a new clutch plus cables 2) electrical fault ie: oil light sometimes works as does the battery light to repair this a new wiring loom was fitted 3: oil leaks on the 1.1 sporting model is a fault that I carnt cure renewing severl crank seals, but the worst yet is the car'nt starting, but spinning ova all sensors were checked, but the cam belt had lost 3 teeth allowing the timing to change other than that the cars great!!!

Hi, I have got a Red Fiat Seicento Sporting. Since I have had it I have had nothing but trouble with it. I have had the clutch cable repaired 3 times and it has just gone again. Now I have to buy a whole new clutch. My thermostat went and my brakes seized up. I also have trouble with first and second gear. Although its speedy taking off I just don't think its worth the money.

Hey I've just boughtt a fiat seicento 1.1i sporting with the abarth body kit and lowered suspension and a big bore exhaust its lush, but my clutch has already gone once and my handbrakes gone now. erm the fastest I've done was 80 mph cus I didn't want to push it anymore that was revin at 4000rpm, but it's a nightmare on the island simply because of the roads there so bumpy, but anyways good car love it 4 my first car.

I have a 2000 Fiat Seicento Sporting 1.1 with 105000 miles on the clock, no mods, and I can get 105 mph easy.

Very nifty wee car. I would say to anyone go get one. Group 1 insurance, very cheap to run, and at todays petrol prices, the high mpg is very handy.

Hi - Just bought a 53 plate Seicento - love it but having trouble getting mats to fit - any suggestions. Very nippy, insurance has come down by £100 and half the tax - who's complaining. Lovely little car - just have to get used to the pedals so close together.

Looking to buy one, but would want to fit a turbo to the 899cc lump. This is not a joke, as I have always had turbo cars. Can anyone help???

I keep reading across the web about clutch cables failing on Fiat Seicentos and have experienced that myself three times now and have a feeling it won't be long before it goes again.

Does anyone actually know what causes the failure? I would like to cure the cause not just deal with the outcome as its limiting me somewhat in my driving- I no longer want to travel long distance in-case it fails again.

I have a yellow S reg Abarth Sporting. I can do 100mph, and reckon the car would go faster if I wanted it to.

The people saying they don't believe they can go that quick obviously have never driven a Seicento.

I absolutely love my car, I have had problems with getting into 1st and 2nd gear, and the handbrake is on its way out, but I would still recommend a Seicento to anyone looking for a first car; they are well worth the money.

I don't have a Fiat, but if I did, I'd sell it.
