Question your first cinq - what did others think of car choice?

when you bought your first cinquecento, what were other peoples reactions to you buying such a car?

I find myself explaining up front that is not my usual sort of car, and that they may find it odd, they seem to like it though!

Re: your first cinq - what did others think of car choice?

Yep, Everyone thought I was mad.
Still do.
I don't care, it's fun, it handles like a go-kart and it's not a Saxo/106/corsa/firusta

Re: your first cinq - what did others think of car choice?

The day I drove my car to work for the first time everyone in the building came out to have a look and laugh. They all like it but think it is far to small a car to be using.

Me - I love it. Dead small and quirky. Wait till they see the satin black wheels Monday and possible tints later down the line....
