1999 Fiat Seicento Sporting review from UK and Ireland
"Don't buy one. Just look at a picture of one instead"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator burst.
Screen wash tank split.
Clutch cable and pivot snapped.
Paint peeled off alloy wheels.
Front Window seals fell off.
Rear wheel arch rotting through.
Exhaust silencer fell off.
Passenger inside door handle mechanism failed.
Seat belts not retracting.
Throttle body failed.
ECU failed.
Brake pipes rotted through.
ABS failed.
Patience snapped!
General comments?
The car is a pleasure to drive, when it works and is a comfortable place to be. However there is the ever present danger that something WILL break down or fall off at any moment. This completely ruins the experience of driving a FIAT.
