My wife and I just very recently replaced her 1.8 petrol sports cabrio which we had owned from new for seven years, with the Fiat. Why!? I have had people ask us! Well, we've gone from paying 265... more

    5 Stars If I could marry a car, this would be my husband. Review with images 26/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice to drive. Distinctive design. Safety features. Comfortable. Cheap to run. Inexpensive. Fab!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I'm thinking.....I'm thinking.....nope, can't think of anything!

    I have had my Fiat 500 1.2 Pop since March 2011 and I am in love. I never thought it would be possible to be in love with a car, but seriously, if I could marry this picture of perfection, I most certainly would. Prior to this I had VW Beetle 2.0 - which I equally loved, but after 10 years of being faithful to it, it started to fall to pieces and so I thought I deserved a new model. Out with the old and in with the new! ***Appearance*** I'm going to be honest and admit that I know very little about cars and generally what attracts me to a car initially is the way it looks. And wow....this car ... more

    4 Stars A bit like a mini-beetle? 12/02/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, Inexpensive, head-turning

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow, Noisy, Hard to find in UK

    I bought my 1972 Fiat 500 two years ago for £425. It was advertised as a non-running project, but the car was right hand drive and 100% original, which makes it quite rare as a large number of left hand drive models have been imported from Italy over the years. If you are still wondering what on earth a Fiat 500 is, take a look at the original 'Italian Job' film, it's jam-packed with them. Having owned a newer Fiat 127 and found it a struggle for parts I was really worried about what I was letting myself in for. Surprisingly there are a number of places who still distribute parts for these ... more

    5 Stars Fiat 500 Fantastic little run around, economical & cheap to run! 14/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Economical, easy to park, fun to drive, colourful, eye catching, safe, cheap tax

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small boot!

    I bought my Fiat 500 1.2 in February this year (2011). Always attracted to little cute things I thought it was ideal for me, as my previous car was costing me too much in fuel and tax. The Fiat 500 has a 1.2 engine which is pretty nippy for about town, and I travel to University three times a week which is about a 30 minute dual carriage way journey of which the car is more than capable for. It averages 49 miles to the gallon, which is pretty impressive for a petrol! My main concern with such a small car was obviously going to be safety. Would I feel like I was sat on the road? Would it feel ... more

    5 Stars The Fiat 500, is the best small car out there 08/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compact, stylish, great performance and economical

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Recall issues

    The new Fiat 500, in my opinion is the best small car out there. Its small, sassy, economical, and a delight to drive. We purchased this car last year, and have been absolutely delighted with it. While it seems all the other car makers were going for economy and size, Fiat did this with the 500 but also built in a great retro style interior. The available optional extras just complement its overall style. When our friends and family see the car externally they kind of like it and generally think it dinky. However when they sit and view the interior, they are always surprised. We know two ... more

    5 Stars Fiat 500 - absolutely brilliant 28/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent value for money, really cool retro looks, tons of options

    Disadvantages Disadvantages High ride position, gear change a bit notchy, limited rear space

    I haved owned my new 2008 Fiat 500 now for one month and it's adoreable! It's the first Fiat in years - actually, make that ever, that I've really liked the looks of. It is a head turner. The dash is one of the car's most unique points. Interior and exterior styling is fantastic and there are tons and tons of options to go for. Alloys are a must, but stick to the smaller ones for better handling. Okay, economy wise it's fantastic. Mine is a 1.2 petrol and has been averaging 40 mpg in the town (although I do stick it in 5th gear whenever I can to go easy on petrol). On the runs I've had out of ... more
