Fiat 500 C 1.2 Lounge (Start Stop) 2d Auto (2012/62) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says I'm concerned about the environment, but I'm not, it says I'm a hairdresser, but I'm not, it says I bought the car to please the wife, cause she's always wanted one. So I put up with it. However I could really do with more Power, I'm considering the Arbarth 180 BHP as the trade in in September, once the PCP ends.

They all love it, they say they'll get one.
