As an Italian, it'so cool seeing your MASSIVE and amazing pick-up trucks; MASSIVE bodies, MASSIVE engines, bigger than most of our apartments, machines that we could drive essentially nowhere, not even in a mall parking or a standard racetrack :D
As a Brazilian, I would love to have the chance to see V8 big cars, full size sedans, suvs and pick up trucks, because we never got this kind of massive cars in my country. Just small and midsize cars, expensive fuel, high taxes, etc. God bless American cars. Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen are a piece of shit!
I drove this car as a Cinquecento Sporting '94 with 54 hp with 1.1 litre machine for 4 years but 15 years ago. I made it lower and faster by customized ECU, air intake and exhaust. So my best speed was 196km/h or 122mph at that time... Now 15 years later I am little scared about.
Seems like a pretty good (though not exactly pretty😉) city car for one or two people. Economical, too; especially considering the low price, fuel consumption and I assume cheap spare parts as well. Edit: I have a soft spot for small Fiat cars, because my grandad had a Fiat 600 and I have a lot of good memories of him and the car. 😊
I had a 900 cc (39 hp) my 1998. Top speed was a little above 140 kmh, perfect handling, easy to park, smooth gearbox, able to reach 50 mpg. Only issue in my opinion was about safety in case of crash.
Even in a death trap like this one, they drastically increase your chance of survival. A relative of mine survived a horrific crash in an even less safe original Fiat Panda with light injuries, all thanks to the seat belts.
Once I did a 200km journey in the Seicento, the car that succeded the Cinquecento. It had the 0,9l and it was not that bad, there are bigger cars that are much worse.
Niby najgorszy silnik, ale według mnie ma w sobie to "coś". Pięknie brzmią te 2 cylindry, a sam cienki bardzo fajnie się przemieszcza. Dziękujemy za test!
well, at least that's what the speedo has to say :D Joking, real top speed should be about 125-130 (but those old and cheap Fiat did have quite optimistic speedos, especially at "high" speeds)
@@francescomagni3727 Fiat themselves claimed the top speed is 127km/h. Sounds plausible considering that the old Mini with the basic 850cc motor developing 33hp and had a top speed of 75mph(120km/h). The Mini first appeared in 1959 so this Fiat is at least a 30 year more modern design with better aerodynamics.
@@McLarenMercedes yes, totally plausible. Probably the cx is better on the Cinquecento, but the cross section of the old mini is smaller and besides I'm not really sure about what aero effects could be at less than 130 kph..not saying it's none,but I'd say gear ratios may have a bigger effect. Anyways, the engine itself is not really more sophisticated than the mini, the fiat engine (which was born in 1958 in its original iteration, and even for the time it was much an older concept than the mini) is smaller in displacement, it's born as an air cooled and converted to liquid cooling but very prone to overheating so it had to be de-rated at 31 hp (which didn't prevent head gaskets blowing..), and is an inline-2, while the mini always had inline 4, which perform better at high revs. Actually, it didn't really sell much in Italy on the Cinquecento, people (with all the right reasons) liked the 903 engine more (which was considerably more powerful, more reliable, and had pretty much the same fuel economy)
Imagine this car was offered with a turbo conversion that was street legal from Novitec. Officially a 102hp and there was much more possible. Just imagine and have a look at the Cinquecento BiMoto. Two Turbo engines and way over 300hp at the crankshaft. In Germany we called these cars roofed spark plug or a spark plug with a roof
Wersja 1.1 Sporting zdrowa robi to w 13,5 sekundy, a dokładnie mój zrobił to w 12,2 sekundy za pomiar posłużył racelogic silnik po remoncie i lekko dłubnięta głowica przy okazji.
My grandpa had one of these in the same color, thought it was the upper trim. A thing I love about the car is that it's incredibly spacious, it feels like an MPV!
The law of attraction! 😛 Yesterday I saw this cute little car on the 🇲🇪street, after 100 years, and today Mr. Joe drives it. Crazy 🔮 Thank you, Mr. Joe! 👍🏻🍀
@@j.m.w. For example, more often you can see models like polski fiat and fiat seicento compared to Cinquecento. I have a burago model Cinquecento 🚗...☺️
Looks fun to drive around. Small old underpowered cars have a special fun feeling. You have to really work them out to go and you feel really connected to the car.
This little thing looks so fun I'm always tempted to buy one when I come across them, and then I remember the mother of a friend told her she could buy any car except for this one because she didn't wanna lose her daughter hahaha
Get one. Even the small front wheel drive Fiats are creeping up in price. About 10 years ago i could still get a Panda for 250-500 euro with ease, but those are now either scrapped in a vain attempt to lower emissions, or extremely expensive (for the kind of car)
Reminds me of my metro 900 ...4 star petrol . Top speed 80 down hill ...my very first car loved it .. cramming all yer mates in and just heading out for the first time happy days. My mate borrowed his mums city metro and blew the engine up !! Great channel ..cheers ...
I remember years ago hiring a Sporting version and it was the most fun I've ever had driving a car. Absolutely bundle of laughs... The later version was also fantastic fun to drive. They were both very nippy and the handle was incredible
Especially if they make it nowadays, more aerodynamic, new engine, lighterweight, even with manual steering, would be a super achievement and super car.
I had two, one for the work run and I bought one for my daughter. I bought both from a motor auction and they were real fun and cheap to run. Both were 1,100 cc so they were pretty quick.
What i watch: Ferraris POVs What youtube recommends me recognising that i will never be able to afford a Ferrari: Fiat cinquecento POV & max acceleration
Miałem takiego tylko w zlotawym kolorze, najlepsze auto jakie miałem, wjeżdżalem tym wszędzie niczym terenówką. Kiedyś tak wszedłem w zakręt że opona zeszła z felgi, masa zabawy była z tym autem. Nigdy mnie nie zawiodło i wozilo mnie po 100km do pracy.
I had a red Cinquecento Sporting back then, with a drivers airbag, red seat belts, bucket seats and brutal 55 hp. Literally every plastic part was loose and rattling. Over 100 km/h you could not understand the radio anymore but it was a lot of fun to drive.
Not bad at all my friend, imagine that a modern Nissan Leaf full electric also runs about 167km/h haha! So nothing to be ashamed driving small cars. We have family in Italy, and we always drive in some Fiat Punto's, great cars for driving city as they are more than good enough ti drive from Holland to Italy 👍
moje pierwsze auto, ok 10 lat temu kupiłem za cale 1000 zł :D posłużył mi prawie 2 lata bez wydawania kasy w naprawy, ale pod koniec był w takim stanie ze Pan na stacji diagnistyczniej skutecznie wybił mi jazdę tym gracikiem z głowy. CO nie zmienia faktu ze to były najtaniej przejedzone kilometry w moim życiu. :D
Jechalem takim 3x w zyciu, 3 roznymi egzemplarzami. To byly wtedy prawie nowe auta. Rzeczy ktore zapamietalem: uczucie metalowego pudelka oraz wibrujaca dzwignie zmiany biegow.
I have a Seicento SX 1.1 Fire 54 CV from 2000. Very similar in the shape, a little bit more "curvy", and it's a death machine ahahah The engine is very similar to the Sporting one, no power steering assistent, no abs, no airbags, just 2 disk brakes, basically nothing to help, and I love it. I got only in a single episode a max. speed of 172-173 km/h with the AC off, but only in a very steep descent in the highway, kept this speed for 2 seconds then I decided that I was too young to die in a car that was about to disassemble itself.
I like to watch these videos to learn how to drive in Europe, because I recently moved to Poland, and in this video he is driving in Katowice. Exactly in the city to which I moved. What a coincidence! :D
Miałem identycznego, mój 1 samochód- tylko, że mój był FSM - więc rozwinąłem Fajny Samochód Młodzieżowy :D. Na obwodnicy 3 miasta zamknąłem budzik i byłem z siebie strasznie dumny do czasu aż puściłem gaz i strzał w wydech był taki duży że pękł mi wydech. Ahhh wiele fajnych wspomnień...
Kiedys moj znajomy mial taka 700-tke w stanie bdb. Jechala 140 km/h bez problemu. A pod gore (na 3-jce) 100 km/h w pelnym stanie ,4 osoby na pokladzie.
Molto molto carina, mi è sempre piaciuta molto, anche la sua naturale evoluzione, che fu la 600, ancora più grande e più confortevole. Diciamo che erano già delle " smart" ante litteram.... Perfette per la città, molto meglio di un bus che non passa mai, come a Roma...
Poland is such a clean country and alltough the cold weather is bad for the decks of many roads the situation of their surface is above average...it is a good representative of a central European country
Nunca exige tanto do meu McLaren 2005...si quiser ele faz até mais, mas tá bom do jeito que vou nas ruas de Sampa, mas esse aí ano 1995 tá uma maravilha, parabéns!
Honestly I love seeing videos of driving this kind of cars, but if I got to drive one I wouldnt like it because old cars are not my thing they're harder to manage than modern ones, I loved the video and subscribed!
Echhhh nostalgia mnie dopadła, powróciły wspomnienia z młodości ;-) Miałem w rodzinie taki bolid, nie był to zły wóz jak na tamte czasy, pamiętam fantastyczną zwrotność, niezłe hamulce, jednak ten silnik, to był dramat! Palił sporo, a dynamika i elastyczność nie istniały w zasadzie! Pamiętam taki temat, jedziesz 60 na godzinę i musisz wyprzedzić coś na lokalnej drodze, jak miałeś dużo czasu, spoko, ale gdy nie miałeś... Redukcja na trójkę nie wchodziła w grę już, a z czwórki zbierał się tragicznie długo, była adrenalinka wtedy czasem ;-) Pozdro!
ten tutaj jest totalnie zuzyty. Moja pierwsza 700ka bez KAT 31KM na prostej licznikowe 140, a z górki ponad 150. Drugi z KAtem 30KM był troche wolniejszy, bo na prostej niecałe 140. Ten egz tutaj, to szrot niewyregulowany moze, maks moc to 25KM z taka predkoscią
@@tombouu Ja mam 700 na Aisanie z katalizatorem, licznikowe 135-138 km/h. Być może ten egzemplarz wymaga regulacji i drobnych poprawek (świece zapłonowe, przewody).
@@tombouu Być może wałek rozrządu już jest zmęczony (wtedy jeszcze trzeba wymienić popychacze hydrauliczne i warto łańcuch rozrządu). Z tego co pamiętam z książki serwisowej producent przewiduje trwałość wałka i hydropopychaczy na min. 150 000 km, ale w praktyce wiadomo, różnie to bywa.
@@marcelg5624 w kazdym razie, jesli dany egz na prostej idzie te 135-140licznikowe, to mozna przyjac ze jest mniej wiecej wszystko sprawne i moc w okolicach 30KM jest, Jesli mniej, to jakas awaria lub zuzycie.
It's a death trap tho. Watch the crash test footage of its day, absolutely mind boggling people are still running around in these things. It was sub par even in its day.
To był mój pierwszy samochód. Palił 7-8l, zupełnie nie wierzę w podane 4.9l. Dobrze go wspominam, służył mi dwa lata podczas studiów. Niestety został skradziony sprzed akademika chyba w 2010 roku :/
