I have an uno 1.7 diesel , had it 20 years , it's a brilliant little car , rust free too, only driven at shows now , want to preserve it for years to come , . Have fiat cinquecento too 1994 , sweet little car too 17 years of ownership , used only on dry roads , .punto 1.2 ,16v CVT mk2 is my daily drive , fiats are great little cars ,
I’ve never driven a diesel version. That’s the great thing having a classic you can go to shows. The Cinquecento is amazing for towns, not many on the road in the UK. My first car was the punto mk 2 what a great little car brilliant engine. Fiats have great engines as with all cars they have to be looked after so they age well
Very interesting for me. I moved from England to South Italy in 2019 and was fascinated to see 40 year old Pandas and 30 year old Uno's still on the road. They keep them going and why not? Great video, thanks for posting.
Sorry for the late reply Patrick, really oh wow. Where in the south did you move to? Yes me too I remember as a child seeing the original Fiat 500’s some rusting away. There is a tendency in Italy to keep something until it can’t be repaired especially cars. There are still mk1 Punto’s on the road. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for your support 😊👍🏻😃
@@Mr-M-on-motors Hi there, thanks for replying. I moved to the Basilicatta region, you're right they just keep them going and every town has a Fiat mechanic in it. Spotted a circa 1972 Fiat Mirafiori 1300 down the garden centre and obviously used as a daily runner. Can't remember the last time I saw a first generation Mirafiori in the UK.Moving here has changed my whole thinking about keeping things going. Once again thanks for posting, I've only recently discovered you so I shall spend the spring trawling through your back catalogue of vids.
Oh nice Patrick I’m from the Campania region just above Basilicata. Ah the great Mirafiori, my granddad had one and drove it to Italy in the 70’s big car as well. Me too I’m astonished when I see old cars still working fine. Your welcome, I really appreciate your support.😊👍🏻
Yes i’ve heard in Brazil it was an icon. Some might still be on the road today. The classic Punto is also used and popular in South America. Thanks for your comment.
Just seen this video ive just bought and recommissioned my mates uncles old 1987 mk2 fiat uno 60 5 door with only 45k from mew and its my daily drove and I absolutely love it Your dad's uno is a beauty I love it
I’m ever so sorry for the delay in reply, oh wow only 45k. Is that kilometres or miles? As a daily it does the job. Thank you I’ll be uploading the live video update on the uno I filmed in Italy so be sure to subscribe. Thank you for your comment.

I have a fiat uno diesel 1.7 year 2000 that my grandfather gave to me for a present and I'm in love with the car it doesn't waist that much gas and the driving fells amazing like driving a old rally car
Oh cool the diesel will last a lifetime, that’s very kind of your grandfather. Yes the diesel is very efficient. Yeah the big steering wheel and feel is very different to the latest cars. You feel very much part of the car.
@@laurataylor9454 one of favourite cars when I was kid Fiat Uno , then palio, now Punto but in India Fiat was a failure no body wants Fiat every body opts for Suzuki or Hyundai but these are less safe cars with coke can like body steel 😂
Yes it is quite a tall boxy car, even the original Panda is like that. It’s nice to know it won car of the year. The engine is a solid unit. I’ll be in Italy soon and I’ll be going live with this car, so be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications.
I’m glad you liked the review, it was a little long. Oh cool is the S the slightly sportier trim? The one we have only comes out in summer for a couple of weeks, while we’re on holiday. The rest of the time it’s in the basement. I like car care and clean it every time we go to Italy.
@@Mr-M-on-motors I wouldn't call it sporty, but it has some more equipment than a base model, including electric windows and central locking, but it doesn't has as much equipment as the better SX trim. Mine is my daily driver, so it runs all year, but I still take good care of it!
Oh right now that is what my dad needed a uno with more features, I believe the one we have is a base model. How much mileage does your uno have? Well done keep her going 👍🏻
He was very popular in Serbia till the 2013-14 and now you can see him on the streets but not like earlier years, Punto replaced him 😏 I love this car we have them like 5 in the family
Sorry about this delay just getting back on the channel. It’s a fun little car with bags of character. Great FIRE engine very reliable. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Owned two Uno cars over 5 years and loved them. Quirky, reliable, economical. There were higher spec models with designs by various Italian engineers et .We owned one of them and they were definitely more responsive AND again; a delight to own AND drive. The lower BHP models were OK BUT you had to know HOW to drive them to ensure that if you were ie on a hill about to overtake a lorry et that you had built up enough speed otherwise ??? Uhh not going past that on a hill.👀
They truly are brilliant town cars. Yes you had the turbo version which was a rocket. You’re right about the lower BHP ones. The one we have struggles up mountains. Yes you have to plan the overtaking 😃
Hey, depends on how it’s been keep. In the UK I’ve seen some around £5k. The Mk 1 uno can fetch upto 10k. In mainland Europe prices are even more competitive.
@@Mr-M-on-motors Does Italy have less road deicing procedures than other Euro countries? If so, could it be the reason why so many 80s and 90s Fiats, Alfas and Lancias can still be seen on Italian roads?
I remember one holiday in Italy. My family and I went to the Adriatic coast. Two hours drive each way. With a full tank it would get close to 300 miles, depending on the speed you travel at.
@@Mr-M-on-motors ok thats great i am from nepal kathmandu i have fiat uno diesel 1.7 but in my car haven't fuel cap i used to open and close its fuel tank by wood while refuelling it in but it has lost away and i want to watch its sample only because in nepal fiat uno cars parts is not available and in india also do you use Facebook or instagram because i want to send you myvehicle photos
