really like that model,though the penguins would have to go for me im afraid.
2. The height adjustment on the drivers seat is great.
Now for the bad/annoying - it's important to understand I love the car and some of these are really minor gripes but someone may find this info useful...
2. Climate control is neither standard nor an option and I'm really missing that
5. WhyTF is the eco (Sport) button - something I use multiple times on every trip - hidden behind the gear stick and lots of other 'once in a blue moon' buttons are front and centre below the radio?!?!?!?!
6. WHY, WHY, WHY! does the lane change indicator flash 5 times???? Every other car I've ever owned (including the 500) flashes 3 times which appears to be optimum.
7. The cup holders are properly rubbish all either too big, too small or just plain the wrong shape - how many squirkle shaped drinks containers have you come across this year???
I agree with all of your points but still loving it! Main gripe is the lack of rear interior light. But at £12k is a third of the price of other 4x4's that I've owned with a massive saving in running fists so that makes up for it. The wife likes it so much she now wants to replace our C-max with a 500L Trekking
Okay I can understand how this could be frustrating but this really isn't an issue for me as I hardly ever need the rear seats.I totally agree about the lack of a rear light. Didn't really realise until the dark nights arrived.
I haven't had an issue with drinks holders
At first I took this as 'fair enough I haven't used the car enough' but to be honest I'm now very clear - THE CUP HOLDERS ARE A JOKE - Fiat the f*c* were you thinking...
1. I've already had several cans of pop 'fall/flop' out of more than one of the supposed holders - are you joking? what a bloody mess!!! :bang:
2. The only 'cup holder' that can fit a drinks cup (McD/KFC etc.) or an aluminium drinks cup is positioned so it's impossible to see or reach the cup from the front seats - again what were you thinking Fiat??? :bang:
3. The cup holders in the door pockets - well what can I say, they're about as much use as a chocolate fire guard... aaaaaarrrgghh!!! :bang:

I agree they are as good as useless. From my point of view its not as issue as I never use them as cup holders
Perhaps we could pour our choice of beverages into the cup holders and have long straws. This would mean drinking while driving (non-alcohol... Obviously) would be hands free and immeasurably practical. No cup tipping problems, no trying to find squircle shaped bottles. I'm a genius. The only issues I can see are bacteria, dust, if you corner too sharply you might lose half your ribena, turn the wheel again and your shloer might go amiss. And God forbid that the beverages mix while sloshing around.
Other than that, I have just solved all our problems, feel free to thank me...
