1.2 lounge 3dr hatchback

Fun, unexplainably good

The 1.2 engine can barely pull the the skin off a rice pudding and the ride can be choppy but the feeling of driving a 500 is so much more than build quality/power/ride/handling. I also own a Mini which is far superior in every way (including MPG) and for those wanting a view of what 2 retro styled small cars are all about I would say the mini wins by some margin but for some reason when push comes to shove the 500 keys are in my hand.

No knowledge of how much it costs to fix/ service as only owned for 2 months but from what I can see there is very little to go wrong.

Suprisingly practical for a small 4 seater. I am 6'2" but have had 4 similar sized people in the car and once everyone settled surprisingly comfortable. I have done a couple of tip runs and surprised by how much it takes once the seats fold down.

I have had Fiats in the past, most noteably a 127 which was great in the dry but suffered from seizing brakes when it rained. Pleased to say that modern Fiats are so much better.
