They are brilliant cars. Buy a three month old Lounge demo for under £9000.Keep it for less than four years and you will suffer around £1200 pa depreciation and low servicing etc. It’s a city car , but we use it for occasional long journeys and find the seats fine and it cruises at a true 70mph all day.We get 48mpg in ordinary use.

The issue is with a 0.9 2 cyclinder engine is that its always reliant on the turbo to move anywhere even in very normal conditions and using the turbo burns through much more fuel. If you drove the car like a granny and so slowly its basically unsafe in the modern world you would get those MPG figures. It would be much better with a 1.2 4 pot engine with a smaller Turbo.

Hey Annisa, Depends how tall the kids are - especially the 15 year-old. If they’re near or over 6ft they probably won’t enjoy sitting in the back, as it’s pretty tight. However, if you like the car and the space for the kids is your main concern, find one you like and have a poke around. They’ll let you test it and allow you to figure out if there’s enough space. We’ve all got individual requirements and trying it for yourself is the only way you’ll truly know whether it’s suitable.

I have a 2015 FIAT 500. In USA at least the automatic transmission is made by Aisin, a Japanese company. So far no trouble with it or any other part of the car.

I loved the car, but then 2008 car wouldn't suit me I guess.

I think the older, smaller ones were better. I borrowed one of these recently (my Lotus was in for some work) and I think it's one of the worst cars I've ever driven. The steering is WAY to assisted, to the point where there is no feel at all and it's overly light. Grip level was poor, it constantly felt like it wanted to let go.

The original design was fine for post-WW II Italy that needed an uber-cheap alternative to motor scooters. But these days the 500's a very uncompetitive car for the money, that ranks consistently low in reliability. So not surprising that their primary marketing appeal is to the sorta drivers who most value 'trendy'.
