User Review of F650 by Satyan Bala

About the Reviewer

I have owned the FIat Uno base model (upgraded with after market fitted AC) for the past 8 years. it has truly been a work horse and served me really well all these years and still continues to do so.

The car has always been very smooth, has an excellent ride quality, great suspension (a bit low though), amazing road grip, lovely driving position and delivers power smoothly almost linearly. the fuel economy has been between 12 - 17 depending on traffic and road conditions.  It lends itself great for modifications and is a preferred car in Europe for street racers (esp the 1.3 petrol turbo which was not launched in India). I put on mag wheels and turbo boosters and it has amazed me with the performance. I have travelled all over the country in this car and the car has never given an iota of trouble, really well made car. one does not need power steering at all, and the driving position is comfortable even for long drives and gives an excellent view of the road.

the only problem I had with the car was in the 1st 4 months itself the exhaust broke off and I had to wait for 3 months for the dealer to get a replacement from the factory. I fashioned a exhaust harness myself later and never had trouble again.

on the negative side - dated looks, minimal interiors, expensive spares.

 

 

excellent overall value for money, best ride in its class and moredated looks, expensive spares, fiat service
