Faults:

I`ve had 4 Uno Turbo`s all have blown gearboxes, probably due to my driving.

General Comments:

Don`t believe car magazines, as a standard car it is quicker than GT Turbo`s Really Slow Turbo`s (Escort R.S.Turbo`s) and just about every other small hot hatch out there, what a car, mind you coupled with that engine and rubbish handling at first what a joy in the wet, best you wear brown cord trousers.

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.

Faults:

Back door lock jammed / key stuck in it.

Can't open the boot from the outside now.

Front squirter tube fell off and squirted onto the ignition coil until I put it back on.

Ash tray (both back and front) have and often fall off, given up on them now.

Tick-over stalled the car the first few days I had it, after driving fixed it itself.

Driver's door doesn't activate the interior light.

General Comments:

Like the other review I read on this site, this car is actually quite a good drive. I prefer it to the car I learnt in.

Generally pleased, not sure if I'm going to trust it on a 300 mile journey this weekend, it will be a test though.

Faults:

The thermostat that goes onto the engine malfunctioned, causing me to blow my head gasket and warp my head.

New timing belt, due to a service.

A few other minor things have gone wrong with it. All within 2 months of ownership.

General Comments:

This car is phenomenally fast.

I leave most cars standing at the grid (TRAFFIC LIGHTS).

I love Fiat Uno's, especially this one, bright red uprated turbo.

Full matching trim.

I'm just installing a PC into it as my In Car Entertainment.

It only cost 1k, but well worth it.

Faults:

The car was stolen and the starter motor was burned out.

The driver side indicator has never worked properly, but apart from that it's great.

General Comments:

It's very cheap to run.

Brakes are a bit temperamental.

Faults:

The only major thing to go wrong was the turbo unit at 102,000 miles. However I didn't think this too bad for the mileage it has done and the abuse I have been giving it. Otherwise it is still going strong in all departments.

General Comments:

Has been an excellent car with no real problems. If looked after with regular servicing would give several years of good motoring. Cheap to run and for a small car quite roomy inside.

Suspension a little hard and does let go at the back if pushed.

Engine pulls very well from low revs with good torque - very noticeable on the motorway in fifth and extremely rapid from a standing start. Would embarrass the bigger boys!

Overall I can't complain and I would definitely buy another.
