Taking its name from one of the most popular models in the Italian manufacturer’s history, the Fiat Seicento (originally intended to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Fiat 600) has become a huge success in its own right. The Fiat Seicento was first introduced in 1998 when it replaced the Fiat Cinquecento. Indeed the Fiat Seicento continued much of the styling of the Cinquecento including the same engines and much of the same dimensions. The car has come in for some criticism for its short front-end, which has earned low crash test ratings, but the Fiat Seicento has rarely wavered in popularity.

Fiat Seicento 1999

I’ve had my Seicento for 10 months and have been throught 3 clutch cables in that time. Due to poor design, cables snapping are a common fault and that said i’m cutting my losses and selling it.

Fiat Seicento Sporting 1999

It is my first car and it is the perfect car to start with. The only thing is the wiper speed but I am getting used to it.

Fiat Seicento 2001

I own a Seicento Schumacher sporting limited edition which I bought in June due to my Peugeot being written off. I decided to downsize because of ever increasing running costs, Iam more than pleased, it drives like a go-cart, lovely, comfortable seats, very nippy with smooth fuel injected 1.1 litre fire engine. Very light electric power steering and very economical cheap insurance, road tax etc, surprisingly roomy interior and not very bumpy either. Time will tell with the reliability but so far so good, also, build quality seems good - the doors shut with a German sounding thud, lots of extras tints alloys fogs, everything. I have owned Fiats in the past and its good to be back.

Fiat Seicento 1998

The Fiat (which stands for Fix It Again Tomorrow) Seicento is one of the worst cars you can buy. The safety rating is diabolical and the worst of any car ever made since the testing scheme was introduced. Secondly, when I had my Seicento I had it for less than 12 months and it broke down 8 times. So, in conclusion, the Seicento is not only the most dangerous car around but it is also one of the most unreliable.

Fiat Seicento 1999

My Seicento has been the perfect town / woman’s car. Her steering is excellent making parking the easiest of any car I’ve owned. I have had no problems at all in the 5+ years that I have owned her. The only thing I would like changed is the windscreen wiper speed, which goes from intermittent to frenetic, with nothing in between. I wanted to buy a new Seicento but Fiat has been very short sighted and stopped making them.
