Fiat Seicentos are. My girlfriend has the sporting one, its not my kidna thing anyway but its alright for her.
Hers is a W reg so quite new. Anyways my experiences of this car are shocking, whoever designed it mechanically wise needs shooting!!
Firs tof all a few weeks ago i was doin a simple oil filter change, turned out to take 3 days, some fool decided to position the oil filter in such a place you couldnt get a removal tool, a grip on it, or any room to bang a screwdriver into it 
Tyres are £80 EACH for standard 14" ones as only two manufactureres make them
Then today her exhaust falls off, i have a look its on the weld on the backbox has snapped I said prolly about £60 for a new one, she takes it down to the garage, the whole exhaust is ONE PIECE you cant even replace just the back box the WHOLE LOT has to be replaced, costing £200 fuckin joke

Could be worth looking through a few websites and seeing if you can buy an after markey backbox. The know people will lop the backbox off to fit it, so may make them  . £80's cheaper than £200, and IIRC they all sound like tanks anyway, so it wont sound any louder .

My brothers girlfriend had a sporting one of these aswell, and she hated it. I think she might have bought in new, but she only kept it a few months and got a new clio 1.2sport instead

Here is the formula of how they create a FIAT
F = Fix
I = It
A = Again
T = Tomorrow
