Fiat Tipo 1.4ie S 3d (1993/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap for the age of car.
Costs
Parts aren't cheap and insurance is scandalous. (Group 8).

On the road
Driving
You can throw it around with wild abandon and it roars away from the lights. Wonderful fun!
Performance
Great around town. Ok for motorway cruising, but lags a bit when you need power or torque.

Living with it
Reliability
Always seems to need something doing to it and is terrible for rusting wheel rims...
Image
I think it's a horrible box. My sister thinks it's the nicest car out there. But you can't see it from behind the wheel, so who cares?
Comfort
Adjustable wheel, decent seats and good height.

Security and Service
Security
Don't know how good the locks are, but when you can peel the doors back to get in, who cares?
