    I just bought a fiat 500 S twin air and love it. It goes like the clappers when the turbo kicks in. Pretty economical as well of you drive it sensibly. I always thought of the as a girls car, but with the right trim and spec its transformed.

      Exactly. Very spec dependent but a great small car. I've never bought a twin air yet

    note the flashing mileage - Either needs Blue&Me module or a Proxi Alignment

      Proxi alignment done all working good now, thanks for the heads up! He even sorted the sensors all for £60! I'd highly recommend Andy Petch if you're from the North East, specialises in Fiat, Alfa and mainly Abarth

    Yeah avoid the pop model - no blue&me, no air con, no alloys and colour coded trim - I wish I’d known the lounge was the one to have

      I always thought the Sport trim was what I really wanted.
      Then I found an Abarth...

      @@Milnoc Abarth costs a lot more though , to find a 10 year old Abarth would cost you £3 grand more than buying a standard 500 and if like me you only need a car to get from A to B then it would be pointless owning the Abarth version , another reason being the paint on these Fiats chips easily , stones from the road etc do a lot of damage sadly

    Strange as i have a 2013 Fiat 500 and it has drum brakes on the rear? and its a lounge edition , I paid £3 grand for a 2013 version but 1 big problem ! the gearbox is knackered , luckily i found a guy who can fix it for £700 hopefully he can get it back to its best.

      They are very common for gearbox issues sadly! Is yours the 1.4? As far as I'm aware all the 1.4 engine ones have rear discs and a 6 speed gearbox

      @@FlippinMotorsUK Good idea if you can pick them up for a grand fix them then flip em on for a grand profit each time 😊👍 sadly I have no idea about car mechanics or I'd put a new gearbox and clutch in myself , the weird thing is I tracked down the old owner she used to deliver for Evri and told me it's been making the grinding noise for over 3 years since she had it 😱 so yeah shame the dealer that sold me it never told me what was wrong 😞

      I had a blue one lovely bright thing, sold in days, loads of interest 61 plate, but it looked cheap as it was about 120k. Lad kept it a short time as it was a temp car and really struggled to sell it after for similar money!
