Hi all, Just bought my daughter her first car. 2010 Fiat 500 Pop. Is there anything I should be made aware about these fun little cars?

Hi🙂

If its the 4 cyl petrol..
Coolant leaks..

The thermostat.. Battery end of engine can have a Plastic stub... Goes brittle and can fail.. Losing coolant 😕Teach her how to see the radiator level.. Shining down the side of the level tube with a torch😉

Other engines are 'modern'... And use a remote reservoir that's easy to use 🙂

2 other bigger issues..

Corrosion of the rear suspension.. Spring pans coming adrift

Rear hatch wiring.. It stresses and cracks

I bought a 2018 4 cyl 18 months ago.. Apart from oil consumption.. It's all good 🙂
