Economy
Value
You wont find a cheaper sportier car. Ideal 1st time car.. but I'm in my 5 year of ownership and its hard to let go!
Costs
175/14 tyres are expensive so replace them 185/15 if u get the chance to change your wheels. Never use Fiat Dealer will charge an arm and a leg always use independent for service/repair.

On the road
Driving
Power steering is heavy. Feels well built and solid suspension will creak when u get out that's normal.
Performance
Fast, light, agile. Very good for 46mpg 1.1 engine.

Living with it
Reliability
Owned for 5 years, never had a problem. Make sure car has fuel tank recall especially if you can smell petrol!

I'm a man so some people take the micky out of my little Pikachu but I don't follow the crowd so don't care! I don't need a big gas guzzler to prove my manhood.
Comfort
Front seats are very good and sporty, back seats are basic but seat 3. Later models got rear head rests I think and rear pop-open windows.

Security and Service
Security
Engine immobiliser as standard but that standard CD player with NO flip off cover will get stolen! Best replace it before you get a damaged door.
Service
Fiat dealers charge arm and a leg go to an independent!
