To be honest - it's not the running cost that's ever worried me about a car, it's the standing still costs while I'm using my bike. This is what appealed about the 500: £240 insurance £30 road tax.
However, I couldn't stand it any more and have just put down a deposit on a Alfa Romeo Mito 1.6 diesel. It's the 120bhp Veloce model. The seats fitted like a glove and the pedals just fell naturally at my feet. I booked it in for a long test drive but was hooked after 500 yards. It's a really really pleasant place to be sat. Hopefully picking it up at the weekend.
Insurance is £300 per year (same insurance group) and £100 road tax. The Alfa always was my second choice after the Fiat and I wish I had looked at both before putting my cash down. Oh well: Live and (don't) learn.........
