1990 Fiat Uno 60 DS review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, comfortable, inexpensive and reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!!!
General comments?
This is our second car which my wife uses. I drive a 2002 Alfa 156 JTS and very nice it is too!
The Fiat has been in my family since new - 1990.
Other than general servicing the little Fiat Uno Diesel has never failed. It is very comfortabe to drive - even more so than my Alfa with full leather seats!
It delivers well over 50mpg, and whilst a little noisy when cold (it is an early Diesel) once warmed up it is fine and indeed very happy to cruise at 70mph all day long.
It has no major rust, servicing is very cheap - cam-belt change was £90 compared to my Alfa at £450!!. It uses no oil or water and is a brilliant little car.
It do suggest though that you fit good quality tyres as due to the small wheels this really does make a good difference with levels of grip and overall handling.
I know of some of these cars covering well over 250,000 miles and I am sure this one will do the same!
