1997 Fiat Siena EL review from Brazil
"A nice small sedan, quite good for a family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sometimes the air-conditioner system showed up some stress signs.
General comments?
It's fast, with a great torque. No wonder it has raced in the Brazilian Rally N-Series.
It has got 82 HP, which means you could face any sort of road, even with the air-conditioner turned on.
Splendid stability and original tires (185-65/R14).
Reasonable fuel consumption (9km/l on the city, 13 km/l on the highway) for the local patterns.
Seats and interior could use better quality materials.
Overall: a nice small sedan, quite good for a local family.
