    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

    5 Stars Fiat 500 - The Best Car Ever 19/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, Funky, Cheap and Easy to Drive!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small Boot

    Oh.My.God. I love this car. I have had the new Fiat 500 since it first came out, and it is the best thing EVER! I am a busy mum of two young children, and they also love my car, All their friends at school consider me to be 'way cool' - which believe me, in the world of 5 and 6 years, is a big deal! I admit I am a rubbish parker, but somehow this car seems to be magic, and allows me to park in the smallest of gaps, and it is soooo easy! Its very cheap to run, very, very cheap on insurance and tax. I have the diesel version, and I get about 50 mpg. I can also plus my ipod into the car and ... more

    4 Stars noddy's company car 02/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cute, small, rare, noddy's company car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not good 4 long journeys

    hese are cracking little cars with bags of character. They're slow as hell, so don't expect to go anywhere quick - average speed in hilly surroundings is 30mph, flat out is about 55mph (with a tail wind) and you have to stop every 80 miles or so to give the little air-cooled engine a breather. That said, we drove ours from Milan to London in 4 days without any dramas. It's comfortable enough, surprisingly roomy, the engine has a pleasant two cylinder four stroke "putt putt" sound to it, like an old boat engine, so isn't hard on the ears. And most importantly this car is the cutest thing on ... more

    5 Stars New Fiat 500 04/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small, economical, nippy, looks cool

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no fifth seat

    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 ... more

    5 Stars Beep Beep 08 Fiat 500 1.4 Lounge 31/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cute design, good on fuel, lots of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    I bought a Fiat 500 1.4 Lounge in Cha Cha Azure (baby blue) just over a year ago and I can genuinely say I love it more than any other car I may have had. Its small, cute and quite nippy. Definately appears to be a girly car but due to its high spec is still admired by men. So far not had too many problems with it, the computer went slightly crazy and wouldnt find media files etc but took it to the garage and within minutes of the system being updated was back to being perfect again!! A great remake of an old classic with a few new high tech options such as media slot (great for plugging a ... more

    5 Stars Fiat 500 1.2 POP 2011 02/09/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good equipment, excellent fuel economy, cheap to tax and insure.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not particularly quick, but getting used to it!

    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 GBP a year in road tax, down to just 30. Our insurance has just about halved from almost 400 GBP to just over 200 and we are getting almost double to the gallon in miles! Equipment levels are good. The Air Con works brilliantly. The Blue and Me is extremely useful. It doesn't have the alloy wheels, but then who really needs them? Having the alloys would have done two things for us, raised our ... more
