[@laurataylor9454]

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 ,

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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 😊👍🏻😃

[@patrickyorke3028]

@@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.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.😊👍🏻

[@izzatfauzimustafa6535]

Im guessing Southern Italy has not much "salted roads" during winters, bcoz winter season in Southern Italy is not terribly brutal and icy....I think?

[@supercar1x]

Nice review! Got a Uno 45S, so it's nice to see these cars are still alive and being taken care of :)

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.

[@supercar1x]

@@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!

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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 👍🏻

[@ironreaper7480]

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

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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]

I own a 1994 uno Diesel 1.7, had it 20 years , it's rust free and drives excellent , it's just a brilliant car , it's only used for show use now ,

[@jithinjosepeter6085]

​@@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 😂

Absolutely a no nonsense car, runs like a muscle car and reliable to the core. Nice review

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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

[@florjanbrudar692]

On 30th September 2022 on the road I saw all generations of the Panda, ending with a first gen Uno in one day.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

I’m ever so sorry for the delay in reply. Oh that’s great, I love these Road shows. Was the event here in the UK

[@kingston017]

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

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

Yes I believe they were very popular, here in the UK only a few left. Wow five that’s amazing. 😊👍🏻

[@Dazzaisaac]

I loved my Uno in the mid 90s. Always thought Fiat would bring the Uno name back.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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

[@DanieleScalzo]

Ohhh yeahh a Brazilian Legend

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

Yes I heard in Brazil it was very popular.

[@arthurdanielles4784]

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.👀

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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 😃

[@giogio4833]

Had a 1.7 d finally managed to destroy the engine after 350000 km ....only because I opened up the diesel flow and drove to work at over 150kmh every day..great car was the uno.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.

[@JimBrown-m7y]

I own a fiat K registered UNO with the 1116 ccc engine which is road legal today.

Learnt to drive in one of these. Still dream I am driving it sometimes…

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

[@stevesrover]

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

[@tonysantophotography]

Hi. My folks own a 1993 Fiat Uno Suite with ~150,000 km. Do you have an estimate of how much it is worth? Thanks in advance for your response.

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.

[@bartsimpson8616]

700e

[@izzatfauzimustafa6535]

Is this LHD Uno imported from Italy?

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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

[@izzatfauzimustafa6535]

@@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?

[@Mr-M-on-motors]

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.

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