Fiat Seicento Sporting 3d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Don't come too much cheaper, but running cost and residules let it down BADLY.
Costs
Very few items covered by warranty. Petrol consuption poor - I have a 1.9 petrol 405 estate that does better.

On the road
Driving
Fun drive unless you need to use a motorway.
Performance
Very impressive around town for a 1.1. Shows the Nova boys a thing or two, but very poor above 50.

Living with it
Reliability
Only owned 6 months. Clutch cable snapped, adjustment. Brake pedal sticking in winter, Lambda sensor broke, rattles all over the place.
Image
Not sure it portrays the right image, but people certainly know which one is mine in the car park (yellow).
Comfort
Very comfy, even with the sporting's suspension.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser just isn't enough. Somebody attacked a lock, but it resisted. Fitted an alarm in first week.
Service
Not interested at all. Lambda sensor £150, clutch cable £75, adjustment £50, sticking brake pedal £100 and Fiat fixed. Nothing done under warranty...
