Fiat Uno
  • Economy

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap to buy, cheap to run, cheap to maintain. Cheap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Just pottering about is fine and the suspension is so bouncy you miss all the bumps and lumps on our poorly maintained roads.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I've given it a damned good hoofing, but it's nothing to write home about. If I'm in a hurry, I can get there nice and early, just loudly!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Apart from my alternator going (a common fault on these I'm told) it starts quickly every time and drives no bother.

    It's hardly eye candy, but I know a few people with them because it's a nice cheap first car that is damned reliable.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I actually quite like the seats, though the things around you to comfort you are minimal. That is, they aren't there.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    It all looks a bit flimsy on that front.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I took it in for wheel alignment and they were delightful.
