Fiat 500 Hatchback (2008 - 2024) 1.2 Pop 3d (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I'm a style freak.

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

Looked cute.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Nope. Quality was just too poor. Even for Fiat. BEWARE OF POOR PAINT ON RED OR BLACK 500s!

What are you likely to buy next?

Toyota Aygo. Had 2 since the Fiat. Way, way better.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

OK I suppose. Gave me next to nothing for my Audi in p/x.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Looked retro and fun. Wife wanted one.

What was the dealer like?

OK actually. Stuck to what they said. Explained the car well.

What's it like to drive?

Steering is light. Clutch and gears not so good, though. Silly jerky gearchange between first and second

What's it like to park?

Easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Yes. Heater knob stuck in off position all the time. Odd knocking noise when turning left. However biggest problem was paintwork. The red paint our car had chipped very, very easily and on a car built on image this is bad news.

What's most practical about your car?

Decent boot for a small car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

On board computer.
