My Fiat Cinquecento

The purchase

After having cruised around on my motorcycle the temperature decreased and the weather became worse. I needed a car. For a long time I decided between an Audi TT and a second hand Fiat Cinquecento, but soon I decided to buy the latter.

The Fiat Cinquecento should burn in hell!

Although it's contrary to all human knowledge and sanity, the Cinquecento is defined as a car. It features the following characteristics (car lovers, read and enjoy):

  • 900 cc - 38 hp
  • 3 doors
  • central lock
  • electrical windows
  • air condition
  • 4 seats
  • Foldable back seat (to have more space in the trunk, giggle giggle)

Fiat Cinquecento is a small and flexible car which enters almost anywhere. Unfortunately there were no photos available showing the car besides a matchbox to compare the size, so I'll settle for the second best - a photo that could sell any car!

A hard life as a car

Even though I have only owned the car some months, it has already been through some hard times:

  • smaller choke on the Pista de Adumez (the motor hood is very hard to close)
  • Backseat driving
  • 145 km/h on the A7

¿Fiat Cinquecento? It's a dishwasher, isn't it?
