General Roadtest

[Drinu]

Anyone here have a road test of a Fiat Uno?? Preferably of a FIRE 45. I am really interested as to what motoring journalists have to say about my little car

Thanks

they say its slow, too small and you shld get a uno turbo!

 

[Drinu]

heheheh can I see where you read this from?? Speed isnt everything you know!!! Where an Uno can go somewhere faster I can go further!!

i think the yung'un is "trying" to be sarcastic drinu !!

as for what journalists have said about your model uno, have you tryed searching on google.com or a similar search engine? there should be loads on the net sumwhere m8

oh an LHD uno, drinus uno is the same size as yours so how can it be too small? plus the turbo is smaller in sum respects as theyre 3drs not 5drs

yes well err i duno lol. stick a turbo sticker on the back and it gives another 40 bhp!!( very recommened tryed it my self!!)

nice to see a sense of humour on the board. Nothing like a good laugh once in a while! I tried doing searches (on google and other search engines) for roadtests but got nothing except 'roadtests' from www.carsurvey.org . I want reviews from motoring magazines such as What Car? and others. If anyone has any I would really like to have a look at it!! I'm sure that the Fiat Uno has been roadtested in its lifetime!

Thanks

hey man....thanks a lot that's one great review! Do u by any chance have one of the MkII model because that is the model I have .Still this one was great as it made a lot of reference to the 45 model which I was mostly interested in!! Really worth the download!! Thanks for all your troubles

 

[whatoncewas]

Nah, don't have any others. I bought that magazine off ebay just after I got my uno

 

[Drinu]

hehehe ok thanks anyways! I think that you made a good buy

I was reading the ventilation part of the article...and in your oppinion which is the best way to keep the car warm from inside?? Is it to use the demisting or to make the hot air come out for the feet?
