Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge 3dr
What is it?
Fiat’s version of the MINI, the 500 is the most desirable little car on the road at the moment. Faithfully recalling the 50s motoring icon that motorised Italy, the modern 500 is usefully bigger and packed with equipment and safety kit. This is the 1.2-litre version with a 69bhp engine in good value Lounge specification.
What’s hot?
- Those retro looks – uniquely original, thoroughly modern
- Fixed glass roof floods interior with light
- Interior detailing is a delight: chrome handles, body-coloured facia
- High specification: Bluetooth, steering wheel mounted controls, USB port
- Along with air conditioning, alloys, leather steering wheel
- Low 10% company car tax with 119g/km emissions
- And 55.4mpg fuel economy
- Build quality feels far superior to Fiats of memory
- Wide range of appealing colours and customisation accessories
- Sheer fun factor and smile-per-mile driving experience
What’s not?
- City steering button – which lightens up steering for parking…
- …is just gimmicky. You’ll lose all road feel
- Out of its urban element, 500 is boomy on motorways
- It’s only a four-seater, and rear headroom is tight
- Ride gets choppy on poorer surfaces
