Mention the Fiat Seicento and most people will think of cheeky city cars, the kind of runabouts you see nipping in and out of Turin streets, other drivers chuckling as the spiritual successor to the old Fiat 500 jinks through a tiny gap and into a parking space little bigger than a Quattro Stagioni pizza. The reality is somewhat different, as like its predecessor, the Cinquecento, the Seicento is manufactured in Poland. If the concept of zipping through the streets of Tychy and stopping off for a plate of steamed cabbage doesn't hold the same appeal, the same can't be said of the Seicento. It has taken everything good about the Cinquecento and attempted to ditch its flaws. Seicentos are often bought as second or third cars and often show low mileages, yet their inherent role as city cars means they will often have worked harder to clock up those miles than a larger car equivalent. As a cheaper and cheekier alternative to a Volkswagen Lupo or Ford Ka, the Seicento holds a lot of appeal. 'Forza Fiat' as they say in Poland.
The Fiat Seicento is overflowing with the sort of cheeky joie de vivre that a car in this class needs. Spend slightly more and opt for the larger engined Sporting model and it is a guarantee of inexpensive fun. The Italian feel may only be skin deep, but the Seicento is definitely 'a buon mercato' as they say in
