Fiat 500

Hi Just wondering if any of you own a fiat 500? I'm continuing on my quest for small economical car

I'm very much an interior girl and love all the optional bits for the fiat 500 interiors, seat colours, dash colours, steering wheel colours, etc etc etc.

Just wondering if any of you own one or have owned one and whether you would recommend it? I was originally looking at the mini and still love them but they seem a tad overpriced and i can get the interior bits i want in the fiat 500 whereas i would have to have the standard mini...

According to Mr Jeremy Clarkson they're the best small car going, well until the new citroen DS3 came along, have you looked at these too? They're pretty cool x

I hate them!!!! My driving instructor hated them, I hate them and my driving examiner hates them too!!

You put your foot to the floor and still don't go anywhere- thats not even on a hill!!

Hyundai i10 or 130, VW Lupo, Mini Cooper amoung many more are much better IMO.

My friend has one and said this too but she has the smallest petrol one, i'm looking at the diesel which she has driven and says is much nippier. I do long journeys and i'm looking for something that i can get lots of mpg rather than speed.

Love this car but want something smaller. My OH had an A3 and now has an A4. He wanted me to have an A1 but i'm really not keen on them.
