General Link to buying guide!
A pretty crap review, really 
Looks like the writer doesn't quite know what 'naturally aspirated' means - it seems to be used in comparison with fuel injection. Did the 1.1 actually come as a 'Start' - I think not - and Uno 70 buyers get the choice of fuel injected SX or Turbo models - what?
We all know that the Uno Turbo (fuel injected, of course) is a totally different kind of car to the 70 - it's a case of either buying an Uno Turbo, or buying a 'normal' Uno.
And what is that statement later about 'you'd be wise to steer clear of the petrol turbos, most of which will have been thrashed to near-death'...
Cliches or otherwise, tell me this - have you ever known a hard-driven FIAT that was in worse condition than a poorly-looked-after, gently-driven FIAT?
We get a statement about the Peugeot 205 being nicer to drive - then later it's the 106 and the AX - something suggests a bias for French cars to me?
We could have had more colourful descriptions of where to look for rust, and what kind of a cop-out is it to say that Unos have 'electrical headaches' with no more details than that...
Also, a few positives about the fuel economy (ESPECIALLY for the Turbo models, in relation to the performance, 38mpg is amazing) wouldn't have gone amiss.
Ah well...

Thing is, no one was claiming it was 100% acurate, nothing ever is, but it has some info and well these days that's pretty rare on a car like the UNO as its been out of production for so long now.
As i said before, i like to read everything written about my cars good and bad, and it is a rare find these days.
