Fiat Cinquecento

Anyone got knowledge of them, thinking of getting one as a 1st car. I had a good look at them and they seem to tick mist of the boxes for me!

they are ok very basic i bought one once as salvage once that had been in a 30mph smash and the drivers seat actually ripped of the rails and split the floor was repairable but never bought another one bits can be dear tool for such a basic car check for rust as they suffered from that too as metal is very thin thicker metal on a baked bean can

All fiat cars are shite, avoid. Yeh some were great new like the multipla, but they are poor secondhand buys. I'd go for jap or German everytime

Get a vw golf/polo or a seat Ibiza or even a skoda fabia, perhaps a Nissan micra

Corsas are half decent also
