1991 Fiat Tipo DGT review from UK and Ireland
"By far the most economical car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odometer reset to zero at 120,000 miles.
Alternator replaced at 160,000 miles.
Interior lights failed at 150,000 miles.
Sunroof handle fell apart c. 120,000 miles
General comments?
Has been astonishingly reliable.
Just beginning to rust - but was the World's first mass produced galvanized car.
Still has many original parts e.g. gearbox, engine and dampers.
Still loves going round corners!
No apparent wear on camshaft after 180,000 miles.
