Hi guys,just thought I would say a quick hello before I do some serious research on these 500L,s.
Looking at buying a Beats Edition.
Thanks MJG,i notice you have a 500L yourself.Welcome to the forum - happy 500L hunting!!
Thanks MJG,i notice you have a 500L yourself.
How do you like it,and can you pick any faults with it? and most importantly has it been reliable?...
Thanks Martin,The reliability is the only thing I am wary about but I suppose saying that all cars have some niggles at some point.I have only ever had 1 Fiat and that was a 1997 Punto GT,owned for around 2 years and not a problem.It has so far never let us down. It is a 1.4 petrol which is a pretty tied and tested set up - It is now on 24,000 miles at 18 months old.
Faults/niggles.
Otherwise we have been very happy and would certainly have another when we change but they are not good tow-cars so we may be forced to change to something else.
- The cruise control wasn't working when it was delivered - sorted by dealer
- The steering wheel wasn't correctly aligned on delivery - sorted by dealer
- I very very occasionally get a 'ESC' fault warning on the dash but its so infrequent I cant be bothered to get it fixed.
- A common fault/niggle is it is hard to get a good view of the top left of the speedo due to the config. of the dash.
A good way around not being able to see the speedo is the centre of the display can show digital speed.
This does not apply to all versions having the digital speedo
Also mine has a rear 12V port - although it is in the boot
This was something I was glad of but then when I purchased mine they decided to have a spec change and do away with the 12v in the boot. None of the newer ones come with this now afaik
