Fiat Seicento Sporting 3dr

I think it is important to firstly say that I know nothing about cars, so if you want a review which gives you lots of mechanical jargon about this car then this probably wont be the review for you...but dont stop reading here because what I can tell you is my experience with this car. This is my first car and I have now had it for a couple of months, I passed my test in July and this was the car I have ended up with. Firstly I need to point out what a good deal I think I got on it (if its not a good deal then please dont tell me lol). It is a V Reg (1999) so it is quite old, it had done 41,000 miles, had a 12 month MOT and 6 month Tax at £1190. Good ...  Read the complete review

Being one of the oldest models on the road, some of my comments and niggles with this car have already been sorted out by the manufacturer, but still if your buying second hand, you’ll know what to look out for. My overall view of this car is that it is a fantastic little runner, and being previously a cinquecento SX driver this was a relatively big leap forward. The most noticeable difference for me at first was the punch from the 1108cc Engine which produces 54Bhp as standard. I feel now that I know this car inside out having owned it from new (3 years), and it still brings a smile to my face, especially in town where you’re always guaranteed to ...  Read the complete review

I recently took a W reg one of these babies for a test drive and to be honest I was plesently suprised. I have always liked the look of these little cars but, as they only have a 1.1litre engine I have never really considered one. The sporting model definatly looks the best. The new look is fantastic, even sportier than the W reg that we tried. The outside trim has been adjusted to give it an even more sportier look. The front grill now has a wider mesh on the front skirt and to give the front end of the car a much meaner look (grrrrr!!). The stripes down the side of the car have been updated too. No longer do you have something that looks like a ZOOM ...  Read the complete review

Jesus christ what a car!! I have owned my 2003 Seicento Sporting 1.1 mpi for 8 mths now and wow, what a pocket rocket. I paid £3200 for mine in early 2005, with only 3,000 miles on the clock in metallic steel grey(rare colour, as most are yellow or red), a real bargain. The fuel enconomy is brillant averaging about 300 miles to a tank(£28) considering how i blast around the London streets, surprising larger cars at the lights when they pull in the inside lane at the last second, believing they will get in front of you, but i love the feeling when i pull away to there astonishment. I crave to have a challenge with similar sized ...  Read the complete review

I dont know where the compromises are, but this car to me seems good value for money. Electric windows, central locking, cd player, airbag etc. I was surprised with the turn of speed but then anything would be an improvement over my last form of transport - a 1.0 Metro. It's nice looking for the type of car it is, a little 'girly' i suppose, but with different alloys you could change that The car has good accelleration upto around 65-70 and then begins to lose a bit of go. Between 20-50 seems quick to me, the engine makes a nice rasping noise at high revs, and is quite easy to drive with your foot to the floor. There doesn't seem to be much ...  Read the complete review
