1991 Fiat Uno Turbo i.e. mk2 review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, furious and frighteningly fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small oil leak from around the bolts in the rocker cover, solved with some copper washers.
It's well known that the older model Fiats are prone to rusting and sadly this is also the case with the Uno. Knowing the previous owner I knew the car had always been cared for though this has only reduced the pace at which the rust has formed and slowly spread.
General comments?
I was impressed with the sporty yet subtle looks of the car before buying.
After a short while you realize that certainly the most impressive aspect of the car is its frighteningly powerful engine and equally grin-forming acceleration. In the hands of an experienced driver this can be an extremely quick point to point sports car.
Like Redline magazine said: "It may not have Ferrari looks, but if you can leave an RS Turbo in your dust who gives a ****!"
