Hi all, I am soon to buy an used Fiat 500 1.2 Pop here in Australia.
I have chosen a 1.2 ltr engine after driving 1.4 and 1.2.
There are three 500s in my price range, passione red, black and gelato white.
I love passione red one and I have read all (I think) threads on here about red 500s and fading, but most of the threads are several years old.
I was wondering if anyone had bad or good experiences with red coloured 500s? Did the colour fade? It's 2017 now so I presumed people might have more to say as more time has passed.
I heard about chipping, but not as concerned about that as about fading.
I have checked the red used model and it appeared in good nick colour wise (2013 model). It also appears to have a clear coat. i presume that will help with preventing fading.
Here are some of the photos of the used model I am looking at, as I could not find any mention of 'passione red' on UK forums.
