General Watchdog next week....

[pulliptears]

Just caught this weeks Watchdog which ended with 'Next week the Fiat 500 and problems going up hill'.

I'm guessing as this is Watchdog its going to be something thats been massively blown out of proportion, but anyone any ideas what this is going to be about?
I regularly drive up a 75% incline with no issues so whatever it is isn't affecting my 61 plate 1.2.

Just a heads up anyway so you can all watch it and shout at the TV hehe
Thursday, BBC1, 8pm.

Too many SUV's stopping the 500's making decent progress up hill..??:devil:

there was a thread around a year ago of a guy in the US having trouble on an extremely steep drive = @1:1 ,
pretty sure that was an auto..,

The issue that's being discussed on Watchdog next week is the subject of this thread.

Only cars fitted with the latest Euro6 1.2 are affected - your '61 plate 500 is just fine .

I'm locking this now to keep everything in one place - please continue the discussion here.
