I had a Panda that was very simillar and was a great car and I've driven the 500 and it seems an alright car apart from the big speedo which I
didn't like. They drive alright and for what they are they're quite nippy and easy to park.
They don't seem to depreciate either so if thats something that affects your decisions

My wife has one and she loves it, £30.00 a year road tax and cheap running costs.
Not a bad little car
Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

My son has a 500 Abarth, little flying machine with razor handling. However it does cause a 25 year old single lad to complain about the ride
harshness.
Hes had it a year, no issues at all.

The wife's got a 500c Twinair , for a 875cc engine it punches way above its weight, great fun little go-cart and no tax

If it wasn't any good, Ford wouldn't have reskinned it as the Ka
Beware of accident damage, the occupancy cell is so strong, that if it does bend, it is almost impossible to pull straight, I have seen some really
bodged ones.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My daughter's got the new sport edition, interior is very nice on them.
nice sporty seats and all the interior plastics are dark grey rather the light grey of earlier ones.
also no stupid colours on the dash/steering wheel like earlier ones

We've had a 58 plate 1.4 16v 'Sport' since almost new, now with 70k on the clock. Its been an excellent little car in pretty much
all respects (build quality isnt brilliant though).

Thank you for all the info .
It sounds like it's going to be a car high on the list of what car to replace the old corsa b we have /Wife has
The only concern she has is the size of the boot for all her JUNK no sorry shopping
There is a nice 500 just down the road we will have to go and try
Thank's a lot

I was put off by the interior quality, but then its a cheap (ish) italian car so its to be expected.
If you can get past that then they are well reviewed and very popular so must be doing something right.

we tested a 500, but the other half decided the boot was too small and went for a punto. i felt like i was sitting too high in the 500, but girls
seem to like cars where you are sat high, go guess it works for most.
