Fiat 500 Hatchback 0.9 TwinAir Plus 3d (2012/12) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I think it says that I am driving a fun and stylish car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all like the car, a member of my family wishes he'd bought one over his Peugeot.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I wouldn't buy another as I never buy the same car twice, but I would buy another Fiat.

What are you likely to buy next?

Maybe the new Subaru BRZ

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£10,000

When did you buy the car?

December 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I thought I got a good deal. About £3,000 off the list price for 7,000 miles on the clock.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Thought it was the best fuel friendly new car there was at the time.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was friendly and helpful.

What's it like to drive?

Really fun, feels like a punchy diesel the way it delivers the power, plus the 0-60 time is only 8 seconds off a BMW 320 so it feels really quick. The handling is good but the tyres are very hard.

What's it like to park?

Extremely easy. The steering goes very light at low speed.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong on the car.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is bigger than i expected and it's very roomy up front. Even though I carry 4 adults in this car often and it doesn't even struggle.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the Blue and Me media - can plug any audio player into this car and use on wheel controls for it.
