500 Hi

[Skbar247]

Hi all,

Just found this forum tonight after buying a new 500x expected delivery July.

My wife already has the 500 pop, great little car.

Looking forward to checking out the forums.

Hi & welcome!

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

Wow! July delivery? When did you order it?

 

[Skbar247]

Placed the order last nite. This is not one of the opening edition models but rather a pop star model that I have added some( read most) options to.

I drove one on holiday in lanzarote about 3 weeks ago hiring through Cicar.

The reason I'm saying it is because I ordered mine end of February and delivery should be end of April/beginning of May. I also didn't order an opening edition one. I went for a 1.6 diesel cross plus in venezia blue. I shall keep you updated!

I'm in California with a mint green 500 Pop. Love it!
Can't wait to hear about your order in Venezia Blue!
What kind of extras did you order?
I got mine previously owned. Doesn't have the leather interior or heated seats I wanted, but it's VERY budget friendly. I get compliments everywhere I park! "So European looking". I love the feel of driving for the first time in my life! Much more fun than the Toyota Corolla I looked at! No good place to lock up my purse (no trunk!). Otherwise, I hope to enjoy leaving it in my will (someday)

Hey! Nice to hear you enjoy your 500. I had 2 500 so far end really enjoy them to bits!! I didn't add any extra on 500x as the cross plus edition is kitted out with lots of extras already! I can't wait for delivery now...

Hi Elpro

Looks a nice colour and spec. I'm in Scotland so it gets pretty expensive quickly when choosing options.

I went for ice white
Comfort pack
Visibility pack
Winter pack ( a must here!)
Electric glass roof.

I choose the petrol engine simply because I do not do enough miles per annum.

Pictures on delivery please?

I'm just back from a 500x test drive. Wow... Just an amazing car. Also, on display they had one in the Venezia blue colour that I ordered.

I still haven't figured out how to use this forum very well - or post my photos. I LOVE seeing the photos, so I'm sure it's easy - LOL
Can you see her here? I'm wondering how sturdy the operable glass sunroof I opted for is, tho? Are there "bumpers" for the edges of that glass without impeding the good functionality? Loved the Venetia blue!

 

[Laurieseasteregg]

Venezia I mean!

What is a visibility pack? Mine has two issues. Blind spot on left for lane changes, and I've already been hit by someone who "didn't see me". Had her a month and had to have repairs done (luckily she had insurance when she "didn't see me".
My Blue&Me wasn't speaking to me for 6 hours after I got her out of the shop repaired - LOL
ALSO the Blue&Me takes 6 or 7 tries to "connect". Is that normal?
