Well to answer your first question, the X weighs 900kgs according to my rego label. As for the weight distribution, I'm not sure of the figures, but surely the back would have more weight than the front, making it closer to 30/70 than your figure.
Jimbro will be on soon, he can help you out with your weight distribution.

Re: whats it weigh???

Kerb weight seems to vary a bit but between 900kg and 980kg would be right and it isn't hard to shed a chunk of that as well.

Balance is roughly 30/70 (a bit more towards the front iirc - 32/68 I think)

Re: whats it weigh???

For a start Fiat never supplied the cars with 185/60r13 tyres, the 1500s all came with 165/70r13s and the 1300s came with the same (or thinner if on steel wheels). Just goes to show how accurate these magazine articles can be.

Curb weight is strangely high but that could just be the Federal spec extras putting it over the edge.

The weight distribution sounds more like how it feels but I'm pretty sure it is different from what I've read elsewhere... could again be the extras or the fact it is quoted with a driver.
