I bought a new style fiat 500 in January 08. I loved the idea of being able to customise my own car - fiat had so many different options for colours/interiors/decorations. HOwever, on looking at the small print, it was clear that a lot of the add-ons are unnecessarily expensive, so I ended up goin for quite a basic model - the 1.2litre pop.
I've been overjoyed with my car since I got it - the fuel consumption is excellent: I can average 48mpg in town and nearl60 on motorways, and it handles brilliantly. Because it's so small it's really nippy, perfect for difficult corners and tight parking spaces. However I often call my car the tardis, as despite it's small exterior size, with the back seat down it's HUGE inside! I have been on a two week camping trip, moved house, and bought a variety of furniture, all of which has fitted in the back of the car. If you push the passenger seat right forward you can even fit a full size bike in without taking it apart. Not bad for such a little car.
The downside of this car is.... no fifth seat. that's the only thing I can think of. If you're intendidng on transporting 5 people in it, don't bother it's ar too small. But as an every day runaround, it's fantastic!
