Fiat 500L (2012 - 2022) 1.3 Multijet (85bhp) Lounge 5d Owner Review

We owned several Alfas before this and the driving position in an Alfa is legendary - this little Fiat comes a close second! I'm 5'10" and often drive from Swindon to Bridlington - about 5 hours - with no fatigue what so ever. The rear seats are as you would expect in a car of this size - stupid to criticise them for not being big and comfy for adults. Another comparable car we had was a BMW MINI Clubman - and of the two the Fiat is the real 'drivers' car. If I had to criticise anything it would be the noisy ride over sharp bumps - but its quieter and less jiggly than a VW Tiguan I rode in a few months ago! Bearing in mind its diminutive size - its difficult to see how it could be better for the money. We wash it, polish it and valet it just like our classics - and it looks good and feels good to drive. For us - and obviously this is personal - the look of the thing outshines anything else on the market.
