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

What does this car say about you?

No idea. Don't really care.

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

They all love it, and have all expressed an interest in buying one!

Would you buy this car again and why?

No - but only because I wouldn't want to sell this one! The posher models look fab, especially the CC, but once you start adding options things can get expensive very quickly...

What are you likely to buy next?

Nothing for the foreseeable. Kids might necessitate a larger car, but the Fiat'll do nicely till then.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£6,700

When did you buy the car?

December 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

With a £2000-off scrappage deal involving an old and useless Honda, I thought it was the steal of the century.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Efficient, decent

What's it like to drive?

Great fun. The ride's a touch hard if you push it and it's not as slingy as say, a Mini or Ford Puma, but for a bargain-basement supermini it's fine.

What's it like to park?

A doddle,

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not a thing. Fiats have a dicky rep, but this car hasn't missed a beat

What's most practical about your car?

Parking in town. No space is too small.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I've got the base model, so there aren't many. I just love the way it looks, inside and out.
