(G) sometimes i do sport in the lounge

we test drove a 1.4 sport, wanted a 1.4 sport, went back to dealer to buy a 1.4 sport . . .in white. . but with full chrome, as retro as could go with a sport

but then there was this cha cha azure 1.4 lounge in the showroom, fixed sunroof, chrome, seats that complimented the paint, not too modern looking alloys, no window tinting and it all just clicked.

And we could drive it away within a few days!

Really happy with the car, the sunroof is great, really opens up the car on a sunny day. Interior feels light & airy, and it's a good - ish ride, while the sport on 16" wheels we road tested felt dark, pokey and skittish

I bought a black 1.4 lounge with black ambiance and red leather. I was attracted to the glass roof. I also specced the 16" O-wheels. Also the chrome goodies appealed to me. They contrast nicely with the black. I have no rational reason for ordering this spec, I just liked it.

After ordering I thought I should be somewhat practical and verify that I wasn't getting cheated out of anything by going lounge over sport. It seemed not. The mechanical package seems the same, the toys weren't much different.

I subsequently noticed that the spec sheet when I ordered wasn't completely true. For instance, at the time of order there was mention that the sport came with a passengers handle (above the door) and the lounge didn't. My lounge arrived with one. Also the rear seats aren't supposed to be split-fold and yet when they arrived they were. Apparently all leather interiors do this. None of this should be taken as having a go at Fiat, quite the contrary, it added more mystery and surprise to an already pleasant way way to part with almost 12 grand

I have 1.4 Black Sport i just preferred the car thought it looks much nicer than the normal ones.

hate to admit it, but the standard 1.2 pop, in silver particularly does look very bland . . .

I was keen to keep it retro, so no 16" Halfords style wheels for me, no stripes, no bodykits

Bring on the 2 cylinder, in 'skinny' trim, 14 inch steelies, no toys blah blah blah

Ok, dont tell the Brava, its been known to get jealous, but ive been looking at the 1.4 Lounge as a possible replacement, I dont need something as big as the Brava or the new Bravo and its spec list is a pretty good match towards the new Bravo and a hefty bit cheaper so Im thinking its getting the nod.

get one bought, you won't regret it

Yeah you should definately get one.




I can even suggest a dealership near you to buy from!
