So after much debate and looking around, my partner and I have decided to get a Fiat 500 [roar of cheers from the crowd, woo, yeah, good choice, woo].
We went away for the weekend to Hastings, which is very higgly piggly hills and little roads. We hired a 500S and it was just so fun! Nipping about, managing all the little roads, and we could park in such small spaces! We were totally converted!!
So we ordered the brochure, and have decided upon the following [any help with the queries would be greatly appreciated!]:
-Fiat 500 Lounge with fixed glass roof
-second hand, probs one or two years old. Looking to buy a model with less than 19,000 miles
-Either white or red. Some debate in our house as to what will be the easier colour to find in a car park!
-either the 1.2 or TwinAir 85 engine. The 1.2 is more common, but I feel holding out for the TA85 would be better - I believe it's a it nippier plus you don't pay road tax?
-Italia stripe over the top of the car plus a spoiler [we can get these added on at a dealer right? Would a red spoiler cost more than a white one?]
-Also, has anyone ever had experience with fitting a DAB radio to your Fiat 500?
We're hoping to properly start looking for our car in a few weeks. We are getting so excited! and it's so cool to find a forum dedicated to these lovely cars!
