>mfw bought a cheap 1L fiat uno because it would be economical

Probably aerodynamics and lack of power, which means it has to be geared very short and as a result the engine has to rev quite high in order to maintain highway speeds.

>actually buying an old used Italian car

someone should make a big chart explaining what every car manufactuer is good at.


PROTIP: Italians make good looking cars, that's it.

Has it got the FIRE engine? Enjoy the economical motoring when the head gasket blows.

>>16706932
the point is every owner of this car says online that it does 33mpg city easy

honestly at this point i pray for the actual fire to get a reason to move onto a next car

dayum nigga u got fukk'd

>coolant is free

>>16706967
there was one for 250$, snow white, no rust, but had 217k miles on the clock and no sunroof so i was kinda sceptical, the fiat had around 70kmiles, new battery and pristine interior so i thought that was a better idea

>>16706988
>250 eurobucks for a mint Twingo
Fuck dude, that's an absolute steal. Even if you had to rebuild the entire engine it'd probably stay under 1k.

Fuel economy has other factors, driving style, what you use in the car and where you drive to and from and other factors. I have a similar cars, albeit 5 years younger, I can get out at least 34, 35 mpg.

>>16707040
a shitbox is supposed to be economical, so yes, a diesel french car will do.
stop being a retard

>>16706894
change your fuel filter. It helped me when I had much less power while driving and I got terrible 7,5l/100km/h

>>16706894
>fiat uno

I cant believe there is a working fiat uno in 2017
I havent seen an Uno on the road in 10 years

>>16706894

Mighty kek, my 16 v8 f150 gets that.

>>16706894
That thing is not built for fucking highways holy shit. I've been in one a few times and it does fine on small roads, it makes a lot of sense for densely populated areas because cheap, small, practical-ish (it has place for shopping etc) and when some asshole inevitability scrapes your car because NOBODY CAN FUCKING PARK in a city it won't be the end of the world.
>inclines are a joke
>speed is a joke
>gears are a joke
This guy is correct >>16706932
Please do not go on the highway with it, I am imagining the screaming right now. It is 4 speed, I don't know what you expected.

>>16708610
Someone I know dd one, it's pretty amazing he got it back in shape. It's quite fun going in it, a real difference from my experience with cars so it's cool.

>>16706894
weak engines are doing worse on highways. weak for the city, proper engine for the highway

besides, half of unos are still on carbs. it can't be economical, it's old

>33mpg city easy
I have a fiat brava 1.4
It does consume less in the city than the highway.
Fiat gears their cars short.
That´s what makes them fun to drive compared to renault clios and shit like that.

>buy corolla
>figure it wont use much fuel
>i end up buying the 1.8 litre 7A
>last corolla to have no valve timing
>has a distributor cap
>drinks fuel
man at least i have a 5th gear so i can cruise on the highway instead of screaming in 4th lmao

>bought v-tec e shitbox
>didn't expect much from 20 year old car
>47 mpg / 20km/l
>nice long gearing for comfortable highway cruising
>115 bhp keeps up easily with modern econoboxes
