Fun little cars 👍🏻

Oh no I hope no one was injured in the accident.

Oh right I know on some trims you get the upgraded sound system.

In Italy still have a Fiat uno. Even my current car is ancient compared to the new high tech cars. Do you prefer a manual or auto’s ?

@@Mr-M-on-motorsdefinitely manual. I do like and appreciate how good the 8 speed is and of course dct is quality but there's nothing like a good set up for toe and healing while changing down the box.

@Sc50001 I have to agree the auto’s and DCT’s are engineered very well. I still think driving up or down a mountain pass with a manual just has a different feeling.

Oh wow that’s been a workhorse of an engine. Oh right are you allowed to go that speed in your country? Those Fiat engines go on forever. Even the Panda’s do well. Thanks for your comment.

Oh thank you, I’m glad the video gave you value more than once. It’s a fun car to drive sadly ours will be going as repairs are getting more frequent. If you can pick one up in great condition definitely consider getting one.

@@Mr-M-on-motors I'm sorry to read that, but at least you enjoyed it a little bit

@Medes06 It’s been a lovely car to drive. You really feel connected to the road. I will be making a last goodbye video soon. Thanks again for your comment and support.

@@Mr-M-on-motors i will keep an eye on that. Thanks for the answr

@Medes06 👍🏻 make sure you have notifications turned on.

Sorry for the delay in reply, it’s a great all round car. Nice little engine, maybe one day they might revive the model.

Yes it’s LHD but it’s kept at the family home in Italy

@@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?

Oh yes in the north of Italy they have to be well equipped. It does snow and have very cold weather. In the south of Italy we don’t get as much snow and ice so cars are less exposed to the harsh elements. You still need to took after the car. There are people with very old cars still on the road. Our Uno has also been stored in the basement so that also helps.

Oh nice thanks for sharing that detail. I miss the Giulietta

Oh nice, you saved yourself a lot of money. Yeah plastics are made on a budget. Oh screen sensitivity was fine on the test drive I did. No to bad milage if you can get near 30 mpg it’s a good result. Overall it’s a nice nippy little car. You got a bargain.

Thank you for your comment, sorry for the late reply. There is no showdow of a doubt that Alfa Romeo is a drivers car. It’s that feeling of being engaged and part of an experience that made me want one. The design even today is very desirable. You definitely need to buy with your heart as reliability has also plagued the brand. I must say I didn’t really have many issues with mine. I would play close attention to the electrics with can be temperamental. My choice was a diesel because of the travelling I did and even that diesel was very fun to drive, the chassis balance and steering input made a quite enjoyable experience. A petrol engine either the 1.4 or QV 1.75 will give you the Alfa classic feeling and soundtrack. The infotainment screen was added I believe in Giulietta’s from 2016. With some technical skills and know how it could be installed in earlier model years. The GT you mentioned is also a lovely coupe but they are rare now.

Thanks for your reply. I would like to share the following video with you. It looks like an easy modification you might like to try on your Giulietta. You dont have to reply again to my post. Enjoy.

I forgot to mention that the previous TH-cam link I shared with you is not my own video. It's just a video I've previously seen. Cheers

I've got a 156 facelift. It's a diesel, OK, I know, but it's a car that lifts your spirits (and the contents of your wallet!), but just sitting in the cabin is a treat.

@stanleybuchan4610 I don't really have a problem with a diesel vehicle, I've always owned petrol and manual cars. Think it's because of that usual cluck-cluck sound of a diesel engine when you start it up that puts me offa bit, and a auto gearbox are more expensive to fix than a manual should something go wrong. I'm just one of those people who thinks a diesel engine belongs in a truck or a tractor, not a sexy Italian car, but that's just my opinion. Love the 159 sadan, but prefer the hatch version of the 159 (Brera) that replaced the GT coupé, the 159 sadan are a bit large for me because I am a single guy with no children. Brera's are also very scarce in my country, and because of their rarity, the Brera are expensive to buy. The reason I decided on a Giulietta is because their a bit bigger than the Mito, and don't forget about that forgotten hero Giulietta that finally pulled down that massive plane in that Fast and Ferious movie when all other cars failed, crashed or burned. And yes, I know... before someone else reads my comment and says, "It wasn't real," and "It was only a movie." Thanks, Stanley. Cheers. 😀

You’re not the first person to say that. I would agree with you that petrol is king. The diesel engine is from the Fiat bravo with some tweaks. I didn’t think much of it at first but the low end torque of this engine is very useful. You don’t lose that Alfa Romeo handling if that is of concern. The reason for the diesel is because I was driving an 88 miles round trip to work. I could have gone for any diesel but the Giulietta said come and buy me. 😊

That’s cool, I think other cars do too. Although I don’t think it did on my Alfa Romeo Giulietta. I’ve checked my dad’s Ford Fiesta and it doesn’t lock back once you unlock 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’m ever so sorry about the late reply. Oh wow only 45k, is that kilometres or miles? It’s a great little car as a daily. I’ll be uploading a live video I filmed on the uno whilst in Italy. Be sure to subscribe, thanks for your comment.

The UNO I have is the petrol version. Do you mean fuel cap ?

@@Mr-M-on-motors yes outside cover not inside

@vinayak_thakuri_ This car is in Italy, I’ll be going over in May. I’ll be going live when I’m there so be sure to subscribe.

@@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

@vinayak_thakuri_ oh right I see, you will need to order a new fuel cap by the sounds of it. I’m currently having trouble logging in Facebook but my IG is marino_palladino

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 must say sometimes the use of cheap materials and electronics doesn’t help. It will interesting to see if the Peugeot 208 has similar issues.

Thank you for your comment, I didn’t notice any glitches on the dash when I test drove the car. The turbo should have helped climb the hill. Your feedback is very useful for long term ownership.

When I took the car to the garage because the Stop start didn’t function I was told if the battery charge falls below 80% it doesn’t work check the price of a new battery . The Language on screen switches on its own accord

I presume you bought the car new from Vauxhall. I had similar issue with the start stop with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. I’m not sure if mine was battery related. At times it would stop working. In the end I disabled it, it became annoying. That screen language switch shouldn’t happen. If the car is under warranty the dealership should look into it.

@@Mr-M-on-motors is that mr Mon Motors Of Cwmbran

@davidthomas3124 Is that another TH-camr or business

Oh cool love the Stelvio design. I need to review it one day hopefully. It’s going to be strange seeing Alfa Romeo transition to electric. The main thing they keep the spirit. I agree these batteries aren’t light. Let’s see what Stellantis has in store for Alfa Romeo.

Not sure what you are asking here

I must say everyone I speak to detests the IDR. It’s sad when historical building are demolished for infrastructure.

Thank you, you’re right they are very fun to drive. Unfortunately the one we have has needed so much repair work.

Well observed sorry about that

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.

Did 848km on a full tank in South Africa in 1998. Best small car for its time and very reliable.

@neelsswierstra4603 That’s a really good distance on a tank with the UNO

Sorry for the delayed reply, thank you for the comment and real life user experience on the new Corsa. It’s those small details you mentioned which should come standard. When you look at the money one spends, one expects more. Saying that I do think this is the best Corsa overall. I liked the drive and power is decent. I do need to source a 208 for a comparison review. They both share the same platform, so the driving experience should be interesting. Thank you again for your comment and sharing your thoughts on the new Corsa.

Thank you I really appreciate your feedback. The aim is to provide as much value in the videos. 😊👍🏻

The inside is the best interior of all Corsa generations. They have gone for simple design lines compared to previous gens which had sharper lines. It is definitely plainer than the Peugeot 206. Thanks for you opinion much appreciated.

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.

700e

Oh yes size wise it is more practical. I thinks it depend what you need the car for. If you have a family the Astra is better especially with the bigger boot space.

@@Mr-M-on-motors more the quality you get it's just feels a bit better than my old Corsa

Oh yes its’s a different segment. I really like the new Astra design language similar to the Mokka.

@@Mr-M-on-motors ye but I really hope the new Corsa gets same face lift

This model has a more rounded design I think this Corsa came out before the new shape design from the Astra and Mokka. I think the next Corsa could have the similar design. Although a lot of people also like this design. It’s a hard one for designers.

You are right I should of taken it off. All to do the the Covid rules that’s why it was on. Thank you for you feedback. I’m glad you liked the review. 👍🏻😊

@@Mr-M-on-motors top man 👍

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

@@Mr-M-on-motors they are great but the older one mk1 1.3td . they got specific gauges , not 1.7 d

@bartsimpson8616 Oh right didn’t know that, thanks for sharing.

@@Mr-M-on-motors that 1.3 td engine is better then 1.7 td mounted in mk1 punto 10 years later , best is turbo benzina , there is 2 edition , then there is 1.5 italian , and 1.4 turkish , then 1.1 ieS 54HP , same engine like inmk1 punto .1.1s , then italian uno 45 carb , and 1.0 fire 45hp . that is about italian turkish and yugolavian short series 900cc , Poland made them also , and south americaBrasil Argentina , they drive fiats also make them like forever ..Salut

The self lock is a security feature but it shouldn’t lock after a few seconds

You might have an electrical issue there. Best to seek help from a good mechanic or electro mechanic

What an engine indeed, after 30 years the engine still sounds great. Really I didn’t know that.

It is a smart car. I know it has a lot in common with the Peugeot 208 but I think it has it’s own characteristics. There is no way to turn it off. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Oh really cool, I bet it was fun 😀 sorry about the delay in replying

Funny you say that because I dream of my old Uno. I think I’m going to get another. Life is too short.

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 😃

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻😊 sorry for the delay in replying

Thanks for your comment. I’ll take it onboard.

Sorry about the delay just getting back on the channel. Great choice in trim, a great package. How is the car with the auto gearbox?

@@Mr-M-on-motors good thanks yes quite powerful

I’m glad to hear the auto is also great gearbox.

I believe it was the Elite Nav trim which is a high spec. The only thing missing is heated seats. The one I drive was the 100bhp variant.
