Please ignore the helpful advice on making one faster, it doesn`t work, it`s

still slow in a straight line...



....but that`s not the point. The Cinquecento (and Siecento) are all about

the package. They have a great buzzy little FIRE engine and a nice grippy

feeling. In isolation or compared to most of their peers, they _feel_

quicker.



For the young, the Italian (probably) or those seeking good value, it works.



I like them. Would I have another Siecento or Cinquecento? I prefer the

Cinquecento - Fiat rubbed out the hard edges of the Cinq when they made the

Sie, the ride is a bit softer and it generaly doesn`t work quite as well.



Annoyingly for Fiat, Ford produced a sub-B car that trades punches in the

performance stakes, goes around corners even better, uses more petrol, has a

longer service interval and sits in a cheaper insurance bracket - oh and

sold stacks more.

If you want a fun small car like that, try a VW Lupo GTI or the Seat Arosa,

much more fun, better engines, decent specs.



This review made me laugh :)



"Only the 1.1 petrol is still on sale. Fun round town, stretched out of it

and overtaking needs forward planning and a note from your mum. Avoid the

Citymatic gearbox"



Reminds me of Alan Partridge when he phones his wife, and tells her about

her husband Renault Megane review in top gear magazine "Over taking national

express coaches can be a long a drawn out affair" :)

Oh I don`t know, driving one is so frustrating that anger quickly

develops.

Oops, you misspelt "Nasty little tinbox with nasty little engine".

How embarrassing.
