well-

the 500 is in the dealers having a cpl of things done from today- and i have a courtesy car....and thought, as i have seen a thread on here debating what you should get with one, that i would share mine!

now, heres the thing- having driven the 500 for a cpl of months now, some of the things i love about it i had got used to.

and driving the courtesy car has been a massive eye opener to just how good some things on the 500 are!!

i have a one year old C2 1.4 to knock about in...and oh dear...its an eye opener!!

the quality, the interior,the feel of it, the gearbox, the fact its done 17000 miles and feels like its done 100000!!

The gearbox is noisy and very loose when changing up or down, the clutch bites right at the top of the travel, the interior rattles quite violently, the feel and sound of the indicators, it just feels..baggy!
saying that, its quite fun to throw around and quite quick too!

i have a new founf appreciation for just how much you get with the 500- this C2 cant be far off if not more than the same price!!

and, at the dealers, there were ALOT of 500s being readied for pick up this morning- 2 green DIESEL versions, a red 500c, a yellow 500c, a white pop just transported in!!

There was a also a black DIESEL edition on the forecourt for 12400!

and i realised, im still obsessed with 500s!!..was looking round them all as tho i dont have one!

i love it!!...tho will enjoy driving the C2 just to remind me how much i am missing!!
