Hello! We have just put a deposit down on a red Fiat 500 Twin-Air sport with <10k miles on it. Very pleased. Was a cracking little car to drive, apparently the Twin-Air Sport is fairly rare? Don't mind either way. Was amazed how when we took it on the motorway, it accelerated through the gears. 6th is nicely geared too for cruising!

Its my other halfs car, and the only thing we'd like is sat nav. I saw a couple in the show room with sat nav, but I'm not sure if the later cars have a different dash and was wondering if it is possible to retrofit a later satnav head unit? Ideally I'd like it integral rather than a tomtom.

Many thanks, we collect it Friday! :D

Hey, I'm new to this and also have a new Fiat 500 TwinAir Sport model. I've had mine for 2 weeks now, absolutely love it. You're right, they're not the most common model as the place I bought mine from has only ever had 2 brought into them.

I bought the TomTom in the end after toying with the idea of Fiat's satnav. After speaking to the dealership where I bought my car, he said it looks the part but for the money you're actually better off getting a TomTom. I take it you have the dash mount for the Fiat? I do too and it's almost like they put it there to force you to go for it but I've had no issues with my TomTom it's great and responsive as I bought the voice control option with all the added extras.

Let me know how you get on. It's such a great car to drive. My husband bought it for me as my convertible Saab unfortunately died in March - it was a bit of a shock going from a 2.0L Sport Turbo Saab to a Fiat 500 but I wouldn't change it now for the World!

Hi Kati, glad you're enjoying yours! Don't think it has a dash mount, where would that be, didn't see one and can't see one in the pics I took.

Excited to get it, was so surprised how nippy it was! :eek:
 
Picked her up yesterday, spotless - had the wheels refurbed and chip/small dent included in the price.

Bough some nice matts and all good to go. Still lovely to drive if use the gears correctly, handles brilliantly. There's an annoying rattle behind the dash but I guess thats to be expected!

There's no dash mount, so I guess will need to look at another option.

My daily driver is a big luxury barge, this will be a nice alternative! :tempt:
