Just thought I would say howdie.
Live in Forfar.
Currently driving a 2.2 Diesel Civic (new shape), but have a new diesel sport 500 on order.

G'day,

I've got an uncle in Forfar I think, haven't seen him in 15 years :lol:

Those Civics are like spaceships, 500 are very nice but I've never seen a woman driving one...what's that all about??

Hiya, welcome to the site!

Nice to see some (pending) 500 owners joining up!

Thanks guys.
The Civic is ok but its not as good as it looks.
The paint is crap and its had a few too many niggly faults and has to go (should have kept my Alfa 156).
The straw that broke the camels back with it was when I was quoted over £200 for a SatNav update disc!!!
The 500 is purely for economics, thats why I plumped for the 1.3 Multi-jet.
I drive to work everyday (around a 45 mile round trip) and while the Civic is ok on fuel, the way it keeps rising it was time to get something a bit more economical.
Had a good few Italian cars in the past (Alfa 146x2, 156, Tempra, Brava) and they are just better to drive.
Would be interested to hear from anyone who already has a new 500 to get there views etc on it.

Which dealer is that mate?
Are they going to be an Abarth dealer as not all Fiat dealers are going to be?
From what I have read on a select few will be.
