hmmm no nothing in particular
If anything I saw the news as a positive - the showroom was empty when I went in and they were falling over themselves in sell me one - probably could have got a little more off I fancied a little fling with a cheeky 500 before settling down in a few years time with a sensible yaris - isn't that always the way
Add to that my Fiance is Italian and I've never live it down if I went with the Yaris lol!
Cue the jokes......

Ha heard them all before 306....
Not affected by the accelerator problem... bit boring maybe... but that will make a nice change from the last 3 years!

You could certainly buy worse cars for sure.

I had a drive, from the road test reports I read I was expecting a docile, wallowing pig of a car...But really... and I hesitate here... its 130Bhp, N/A petrol, so no surge just a regular zoom until you get on the valves & then it does shift a bit... about the same output as an un-mapped 1.9MJet... and the handling is better by loads! 40 Mpg is a bonus... and they cheap!
Have you considered a 1.4 Turbocharged 155 BHP MiTo by any chance? :devil:

Or the 170BHP MultiAir Turbo Mito, used as the official Maserati courtesy cars. I wonder just how long before they start selling them like the Ferrari dealers did with the 500s? :chin:
Clever Clogs.
I heard the 170 BHP version has been shelved, we'll have to see...
You're thinking of the 230 bhp GTA which is either cancelled or on hold at the moment.
Woohoo! Tagteamed him
That'll teach him to make a minor error and confuse two different models of Mito *shakes fist in the general direction of Dolgellau*
Almost as bad as confusing a Panda with a 500 or an Abarth with a Punto T-jet!Woohoo! Tagteamed him

I test drove a Yaris and hated it, no soul at all. I've had my 500 for 3 months and yes there are a few problems (petrol cap was the first, but I've learnt the knack now) but nothing major.
I still smile when I see one on the road and then remember I'm driving one too! Also, it's so quiet that when I was sweeping the snow off it I couldn't actually remember if I'd switched the engine on
