After a short dalliance with Ford back with Fiat. Couldn't resist the 500 X (and the Fiat Finance deposit contributions).

Pop Star in Passione Red with visibility pack, comfort pack and cold weather pack.

1.4 Multi Air.

Vet happy so far (after 4 hours of ownership).

Enjoy,had mine over a year and apart from a couple of minor issues all sorted under warranty still loving it! Stylish motor![emoji106]

Welcome back to the fold.

I have to ask but did your **Passione** Red come with a Blue Pill or was that an optional not required extra

I'm still loving my 500X Cross Plus!

No blue pill, but I think I might need a headache pill to understand this uconnect thingie.

Does anyone understand the uconnect thingie? There seems to be numerous versions of one system totally depending upon what Fiatvdecided to activate or not when it was put together

Uconnect seems to mean, Uworkoutforyourselfhowitworksaswedonthaveaclue

Ah well I seem to have the phone linked up okay.

Think I can get to to do what I want so I won't bother with the app.

Thinking about servicing now. Dealer 3 year plan is £700 which seems a bit expensive to me.

Think I'll get a quote from my local garage for the 18000 mile/2 year service.

Owch. I just paid my dealer £320 for three years of servicing on my '66 PopStar 1.4. Quite a bargain!

EDIT: Sorry, £330. My bad!

Just tried the Sports mode. Very impressed. Steering loads up and accelerates like billy-o.

I imagine the petrol gets guzzled though!

Can't find how to set the remote/passive locking to open just the driver's side though.
