Faults:

The motor worked very unreliably, in cold conditions and when driving over 100 km/h it coughed.

Rear window cleaner stopped working.

Front window had cracks.

Bad balance, heavy front and light rear, when slippery, the rear part of the car is in danger of rotation.

General Comments:

The car needs whole time driving and correcting the direction.

Base is very hard, all the holes in road feel inside.

There is no noise insulation.

Warming system is quite bad in Finnish winter.

Faults:

Had to change the rear end of the exhaust pipe at 118000 kilometers.

The brake hoses had to be changed at 124000 kilometers.

General Comments:

It's not difficult to think why this car was one of the best selling European cars in the 1980s. First of all it has lots of space and enough head room. The seats are OK.

The Uno is a great car to drive even long distances. The steering is very "talkative" and the car goes just where you want it to go. It really feels like a much bigger car.

Handling is excellent though the steering is a bit on the slow side. Parking isn't that nice because the car doesn't have power steering. Thanks to its 1980s styling visibility is very good.

The 1.1 liter engine is OK. It's excellent in the city and when pushed hard it can also give enough performance to overtake bigger cars on the motorways. Fuel consumption is very low.

The car does show its age when compared to newer models. The engine is quite noisy and wind noise can be heard quite clearly when you drive over 80 km/h.

The S specification isn't very well equipped, but it's better than the very poor I.E.

Generally I like my car very much, it's in good condition, fun to drive and cheap to maintain. What else can you ask for?

Faults:

Brakes dragged all the time, nothing helped.

Constant problems with the lights.

Clutch smoked.

The car leaked and burned oil.

Gearbox made awful cracking noises.

Carburetor broke down at 145000.

The car started shaking violently at 148000.

The right side mirror fell off at 148500.

The clutch finally broke down at 149000.

General Comments:

I got the Uno from my parents. It was extremely slow, very uncomfortable, noisy and dangerous to drive as the brakes sometimes failed to work properly. It was completely rust-free, but otherwise it was a piece of crap. When the clutch finally broke down I was happy to get rid of the so-called car.

The fuel economy was horrible: the Uno ate 8-12 liters per 100 km.
