Faults:

Persistent overheating, blowing head gasket, seats and steering column came loose, seatbelt failed, brake master cylinder failed, engine mountings wore out - all before 40k miles.

General Comments:

Bought as a cheap-to-run car but ended up costing more than the Alfa it replaced because it went wrong so often, despite being a one owner, low mileage, dealer fsh car.

Cheap on fuel and insurance. Good handling, lovely steering, horrible ride. Fiat dealer was an absolute disgrace.

Faults:

Easily overheats, heating never works, the most uncomfortable seats ever!!!, in addition to the fact that the car can only take turns at 20mph, handbrake is a bit dodgy and generally the steering is too loose so it feels like power steering but you don't get the benefits!!

General Comments:

It's a decent first car, don't get me wrong, for a new driver; the Uno does its job for about a year, the insurance is low, the mpg is incredible and the chances of your car getting nicked is between none and slim-jim. It is also amazingly reliable, But as soon as you get better on the road change to a better car - FAST!!!

Faults:

Front brake pads, rear brake shoes, rear brake cylinders, master cylinder, throttle cable snapped, petrol cap disintegrated, rear screen washer hose broken, reversing light switch becoming erratic.

General Comments:

I have had this car for about 18 months now and apart from the odd niggly fault it is a pleasure to drive, a cheap car that I can fit 4 people in comfortably and extremely economical (around 50 mpg).

Faults:

Carburettor £250.

Needs new clutch and possible Driveshaft.

New head gasket required.

General Comments:

Has never been great since puchase.

BUT: It now has 75,000 miles on the clock and has run with the above mentioned faults for over a year without reoccurring problem.

Excellent engine.

Takes a beating !!!!!!

Faults:

I have driven the car for a year and a half covering almost 30,000 miles and never once did it fail me.

General Comments:

For the age and price this car has been excellent.
