500 Red Fiat 500 S

Hello all,

Picked up my new Fiat 500 last week, it's a 2015 "S" model with the teeny 1.2 litre engine.

She's the first new car I've owned. Previous car was an automatic diesel Skoda Superb, bit of a change! Had long fancied a Fiat 500 and when the automatic gearbox on my Skoda packed in at 100K miles, I took my chance. VAG reliability my arse, it was an absolute heap.

I love the new car, had forgotten what it was like to actually enjoy driving rather than it just being a means of getting from A to B, finding myself taking minor roads instead of the motorway, or taking the long way home, haven't done that for years!

I do a lot of miles at the moment, around 20K a year but plan to keep this car for a long, long time... I always look after my cars meticulously so hoping the Fiat will stay looking this good for a while to come.

I'll upload some pics just shortly, had tried to link to Flickr but since realised they need to be hosted in the gallery.
