Actually it is my first Italian. Always admired Italian Esthetics but feared with all concerning finishing etc.
With the 500e they really did a great job using recycled materials etc, so the interior feels very smooth and welcoming.
We actually use it mostly on highways since we live in a small village. As long as you align expectations, its great value for money. We knew in advance that we dont need more than 200Km for our daily rides so we never need public charging.
Only drawback is that the App is blocked in Israel...probably due some regulations
