I've got a Fiat Seicento SX, V reg, 899cc. Most reviews say that it handles quite good although for some reason I've found it to be quite bad. In wet weather it tends to skid VERY easily on junctions/bends even in 2nd gear at fairly low speeds. In third gear it's mad and I definately wouldn't recommend it. The slightest bit of dampness on the road effects the handling really badly.
I've heard another person say that it handles really badly but somebody has said it depends how you drive. Could it be that I'm doing something wrong? I'm aware that heavy acceleration/deceleration will cause skidding but I don't think I do too much of that.
One possible reason could be that my front tyres are 2psi lower than the back ones. I found that the workshop manual had different tyre pressures to the ones in my car handbook. One had them the same and one had the front wheels 2psi lower.
Has anyone got any ideas or similar experiences? I also find that I can have people tailgating me after sreetching over a roundabout which is a bit embarassing :-(.
