She works for Stoneacre Fiat in Scunthorpe, and she has just purchased a new Fiat 500 1.2 POP.

Very nice car for the money, and im seriously considering a Sport version with the 1.3 Multijet Diesel in it...

Anyway, one thing i have noticed is that it doesnt have any switch for sidelights and its just dip beam and main.....i thought cars had to have a side light for MOT...

Or is it just the fact that if there fitted they must be white lights and work?

Also the jammy cow, 35 quid a year tax!

Id recommend the car to anyone to even test drive if nothing else!

Cheers

Nice cheap motoring, I really like them.

Yep, good MPG too.

I may wait until there are few more that are second hand as there still commanding top whack at the mo.

Sounds nice Syd, what colour? Any pics yet?

Seems strange about the sidelights too - does the manual give you any info?

Steve

Same happens on the smart roadster, as soon as ignition is on it puts headlights on , if the sensor thinks it is dark enough

The 1.3 multijet is a really good engine... i believe vauxhaul use it? Or am i getting confused with something else?!

Good little cars... would have one meself i think!

P.s. Guessing she got a good deal on it.. working for them and all?!

yeah vauxhall use it... and the 1.9 m/jet I've got... they put that in the vectra!

glad you like your new car, and get a few pics up!

any pics mate, I've seen a couple of these and are cracking wee motots, think Fiat is onto a winner with this.

Nice one - loved the original 500 and this is a tasteful repro of that with a modern slant. That worked for Mini, so if it stands up to reliability tests etc, I expect every street will have one soon...

...Just hope Fiat doesn't allow sale of them to Estate Agents!

Love the 500. I'm waiting to test drive the Abarth:cool:

1.4 litre turbo / 135 BHP / 0-60 in sub seven seconds / top speed around 130 MPH.

Saw one today, it looked ace!

Looks like a great fun little car that will probably become quite popular.

Yeah there are no end about!

Ill get some pics this afternoon of it, and post them up...
