1995 Fiat Tipo SX review from Argentina
"Cheap car, but expensive parts, comfortable, nice handling, but must be very well maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox replaced at 70k
front wipers replaced at 45k
power locks failed continuously even fixing them at 30k
drive train re-built at 70k
front shield broke due to the cars chassis torsion at 60k
short circuit with rear lamps at 55k
drivers power window works only with some help
And More!!!
General comments?
I must confess, I took very little care. Brought many problems, but the truth is that in 7 years it never stopped running. Maybe it wasn't a smooth ride, but it NEVER failed. Now I have fixed almost every thing and hope it runs for thousands of kilometers more!
