1999 Fiat Siena ELX review from India
"An outdated looking car with excellent handling and engine, but be prepared for a very bad service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C Switch faulty replaced under warranty
Gear Box not moving on Third gear parts replaced under warranty 55000 km
Same problem again 70000km spares given on reduced price only.
A/C not effective when its above 35 c temp.
A/C Evaporator unit and Discharge tube changed 85000 km.
Timing belt changed 88000 km - Seems it can still do a lot more than that..was changed fearing it may break down and cause damage.
General comments?
Excellent engine and handling for a diesel...quiet and smooth and even out runs some petrol models..I have done 160 km /hour..huge boot..good for potholed roads..
