Sorry about the title folks ...but at least it got you going I enjoy reading your views ...thanks x

Interesting thread........

Ironic too as I'm sort-of in this dilemma at present. Long story short, I'll be selling my 500 soon to help raise funds for my first home as HP finance will be paid off soon.
Next 500 will be on the i-Deal finance plan with little down payment and not-so-large monthly installments.

I'm hoping that the 500C will have a similar deal as that's what I'm really after. Thing is if it isn't I'll plump for a 1.3MJ Lounge or 1.2 Lounge with extras and dualogic (so my partner can drive it too).

Where this gets tricky is that I don't like any of the colours now on the 500 hatch, other than BNW and may be Funk white. As its just TOO common now I'd be hard pushed to know what colour I'll want. My partner thinks I'm going to wear out the online configurator at this rate!!

Having said that with the hefty premium for the C I'd probably have to go for BNW to get the costs down! Oh bloody hell!

Do any of you wish you had gone for a different engine or colour?

Nope...

I'm really pleased with the colour of my Abarth - Campovolo grey, its pretty unique and think it looks great with the red mirrors, stripes etc

And the engines fantastic!

There was a Ye Ye Green which somebody took the day before I decided to buy my 500. Because there was a stock sale with 30% off the original price, so I did not have too much time to decide. The green has been taken to Austria or Germany. This was the only green delivered to Hungary as far as I know.

Then I could have chosen of white which I liked very, red diesel, blue, black or orange. So I went for the Calypso Orange and I am very happy with it. Beautiful, unique colour, not too many in here, maybe 3 in the whole country. This colour is better said terracotta than orange, in sunshine it is fantastic and it suits my mediatteranean soul.

The 1.2 engine in the city is more than enough, and it is very economic compared to my ex-car (1.6 VW Golf). Half consumption.

Your choice of colour sounds any pics please?

White with red and black leather interior. Sport 1.3 diesel. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Here you go, only got it last weekend, absolutely love it!





will put some more pics in 'Members Motors' section to.

Stunning, absolutely stunning.

Just out of curiosity is your A500 on finance? If so, if you don't mind me asking, is it PCP or HP and roughly how much a month?
Reason I ask is that an A500 in that gorgeous Campovola Grey is cheaper than the 500C I'm thinking of buying

WOW ...that is gawjuss !!! What a great colour combination ..lucky you

Thanks for posting ...enjoyed seeing your new baby

I was miffed when the Punk Grey went having been lusting after it for a while now. Someone suggested that the Electroclash was a nice colour but couldn't find many pics.
Google did throw up a Netherlands website though and even though I don't understand a word, there are quite a few Electroclash Grey pics as well as other colours.

'Mijn Auto' is the section where all the pics are if you want to see any more photos to help you decide on colour etc.
