Dealers in Italy offered good service (average 8.5). Dealers in Greece were mediocre (average 6.5).
A nice and comfortable car. Makes some noise. Engine is oil-thirsty compared
with my FIAT UNO (1lt/8000Km). Torque is good (the car is light compared with today's tanks!!!). Economic (13km/lt. country side 12.5km/lt Highway with 130km/h).
About problems with electronic, red light that shows problems with ignition system makes me mad almost every day. I've changed Lambda sonde on My Tipo 1.6 ie '93 tested electronic for several times and everything was O.K. I thought maybe it was problem with dirty gasoline. I changed filter but without any result.I've noticed that my Tipo needs more than 12 liters in City (short relations).
Hmmm...you say it`s economic?I have 323f pop up lights Mazda 92 and Urban is about 10-1 l /100km and outside is 5-6l /100km.The car is on 186 000km and is 1.6 full i.
