1993 Fiat Uno Fire review from UK and Ireland
"A genius invention"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump had to be replaced at 97,000 miles.
Brushes in the alternator had to be replaced at 103,000 miles.
Wiring loom shorted and melted at 112,000 miles.
The cog on the window winder passenger side is worn away, and window falls down as I drive or can be opened by pulling the glass downward. Started at 119,000 miles.
Small rust spots appearing on the car in various places. 123,000 miles.
General comments?
The handbrake is rubbish. It constantly gets stretched and has to be tightened.
The car is one hell of a nippy little thing.
It will do about 90 mph before it judders.
I wouldn't like to hit the brakes at that speed.
I don't know what its top speed is, only ever took it to 97mph then remembered the brakes.!
It always starts for me first go, even in the wet. Thanks to silicone spray on the distributor cap.
The boot is brilliant. Lots of space, and when you put the back seats down, push the drivers seat and passenger seat up to the front and fold the back seat in behind them, well transformers eat your heart out, you now have a van.
People like the amount of space in it.
