Mine is nearly a year old and yet it is still a novelty to drive in one pedal range mode, which is good for between 150 and 190 miles in mixed driving. It is a great little car with very good build quality and I cannot praise it enough.
£753 for leasing? With whom? I lease mine (2021) for £273 p/m. I’ve just had the first service which was £75 and insurance was £250 pa with a multi-car policy (LV). The cable comes as standard with the car, so has nothing to do with ONTO. Unless you’re doing big mileage and only use the free charging, £500 p/m is OUTRAGEOUS.
Also, I am so happy that someone in design noticed that EVs are electric and do not need a shift lever, that a series of buttons on the instrument panel is all that is needed.
I see onto, I just see “you will own nothing and you will be happy”. I wonder if Klaus Schwab of the WEF is the CEO.
Unfortunately it is the way the world is going Tom, connivence and reliability is more important that ownership for some people.
@@AutoSocialUK but not all by a long shot.
My problem is it’s just a rental. It’ll never feel like “home” for want of a better word.
I grew up in a time where “personalising” your car (also hotting up) was just what you did. Someone else sets the rules for you to borrow their car with these.
It’s one thing to lease a company car but my personal car is “My Personal Car”.
Love your reviews by the way.
Never give up to the "the way the world is going too", be patient save money and buy a nice ev later new or second hand. We can't accept not owning anything.....we get older and ugly and owning something specially a house is the only way to have a shelter.
Hi Tish , i borrowed one for a day when my car was in for a service , i was impressed with how easy it was to drive apart from the first time i hit the brake pedal lol it was better than the Abarth for instant braking ...threw me forward but once i got use to that , it was a fun little car , the infotainment was much better than i expected , quality of the interior was good also .With it built on a completely new platform i think they did a good job on a city car that is electrified . They are a bit pricey as i looked at the top spec "La Prima" which if i was going to have one it would be that with the opening roof too was around 32k , but it will be interesting to see what you think after 1 month , enjoy the journey 😃
Hi love, well I'm old school had best years can't beat the smell of petrol, engine oil, and the sound of 2 and 3 liter engine. Time will tell with electric cars. Plus road tax is coming.
Trish like the fact you look retro as well as the car with your 60’s mary quant style jacket 😂
Much as I enjoy your reviews, you can't really do an unbiased review of a service you get for free.
At the end of the day you are expected to do a sales pitch.
I think that is a fair assumption Richard, that’s why I try to make a lot of this about the car too ☺️ Tbf I think if leased a new fiat 500e it would be £350, then the insurance on top and charging (if I didn’t get a home charger) the cost is about right. I don’t think there is too much that could ‘go wrong’ if that makes sense ☺️
Nice little car to be fair actually !
Only downside is onto …
We tried to get a car with them but kept refusing based on my ID not being verified and found their customer services shocking didn’t seem to care 😭
We went with Elmo drive got the same car for cheaper monthly payments so can’t understand why onto didn’t fancy a new customer ! Oh well never mind.
Good car review anyway keep up the good work ! X
Well as DVLA have banned me from driving until I get my eyes operated on, to remove my Cataracts and seeing I have sold my Fiesta which would have lain unused for 6 months, I might give Onto a serious thought, as over all their pricing is fair and their range of cars impressive, depending on the type of car needed and time of year. Summer I'd say can be a bit over thought with longer daylight hours allowing driving to be used up so that the 750 mile range is adhered to. Cheers Tish - oh and I have re-subscribed to your channel.
I do nearly double the mileage every month, I paid just over £6000 for my car when I bought it 11 years ago, I own my car, the cost of diesel and insurance still works out less than leasing, I don't have to pay road tax, my service costs are around £200 a year, and my car is still under warranty.
I don't like the Idea of screens, I prefer proper clocks and buttons, I know when to use my lights, wipers etc, I don't need my car to do it for me. I like the look of the Fiat 500, but most of my time is spent on the motorway so it probably wouldn't be any good for my use, an electric vehicle for my use would probably cost around £6/700 a month, more than I paid for my mortgage when I had one, if you don't mind outlaying that sort of money every month, leasing is a great thing, but if, like me, you like to know what you have earned and what goes out every month and know that if something goes wrong that you don't have to cater for that extra £6/700 a month as well as finding money for the important thing that has gone wrong at home, or worse, the loss of a job or the rising cost of living, and you earn enough to afford this, it could be a good idea. For me personally, I like to own my own vehicles, not the bank or leasing company
I actually don't like the fiat 500 but I really like you so pretty 😍
Dont know how anyone can pay attention when shes so pretty
One huge issue with this car and most new evs other than Tesla is the lack of systems integration which makes updating vehicle systems difficult (note issues Hyundai trying to add preconditioning for battery)
This will result in these cars getting dated very quickly resulting in significant depreciation
Lots of cars other than Tesla now feature over the air updates ☺️
Adequate if very expensive second car for mooching about locally. Proper car needed for real driving.
Enjoyed this video, never heard of ONTO until now, cheers.😁
Same
Me too
It would be Heaven to get inside!❤
Love the 500 and the new electric version but so expensive so far I have seen just one on the road.
The problem with EV's is the time taken to recharge. If you manage to find a public charger and there are a couple of people in the queue in front of you, at 35-45 minutes to get a decent charge then you are going to have a lot of hanging around. As more people get EV's this will only get worse as expanding the charging network will struggle to keep pace.
Think I'll give it a few years in the hope battery technology improves or they ditch EV's in favour of hydrogen.
True, although currently I’ve been really lucky that both of the instavolt chargers closest to me are always free but I completely see your point of view.
While it is a problem if you are looking to do long range journeys. It certainly is not when for example driving to work each day. Because assuming work is within a 10-30 mile distance then charging should not be an issue. As you would top up each night the car at home/ on street or off street if you have that, ready for the next day as you would of course have only used roughly 15-25% of its total range. Does that make some sort of sense?
@@itechtalk03 Problem is a lot of people in large parts of the UK do much more than that in order to find reasonably paid work. Add any children to the mix ( errands in the evening ) or diversions on the way to and from work. Off street parking is not there for a lot of people. Terraced housing and no driveways. Petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric and hydrogen should of been allowed to coexist but no
Well done Tish. Good honest reviews. Look forward to Saturday mornings
If we didn't need a 4 door car, I would have considered a 500e when replacing the Abarth, although the short range may have changed my mind
Great review, it will be interesting to see how the month goes
That’s exactly what the 500e is thinking back to us !!!!!!!!!
these reviews are great, no idea what EV i am going to buy. gonna be honest, love the boots. i hope she adds a pedal camera soon too.
How did you find the space around the pedal’s as some reviewers say the RHD version is a bit cramped for space for the left foot..?
Yes that is true, especially in big boots but tbf I think that’s just because I just in and out of cars. If I lived with it, you get used to it. Mind you big feet, with big boots might struggle
Hi, nice, you should do a review on the Dacia Duster LPG, yes factory LPG, thanks. PS/ You are cute
Still think £489 with all included is still steep for a small car Tish especially compared to the dolce vita petrol version at my local Arnold Clark is just under £300 with a £1000 deposit
Yes there is no denying that Paul ☺️
Can't wait for the announcement on Tuesday on the new Abarth 500. As long as it's not stupid money I may have to pre order one.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if a certain someone was flying to Turin to get an exclusive look!!
@@AutoSocialUK Wow..... Have a great time.
@@chriscuthbertson a video will follow 😁😁
@@AutoSocialUK I'll wait for your honest opinion on it before I pull the trigger.
@@AutoSocialUK Well.... I'm pretty underwhelmed with that announcement. Saying it's all about performance and then giving us no extra bhp or torque. It looks nice and the interior is an improvement but that's all.
What's the brakes like on it? Is there any FIAT badging at all on it? Is there a froot in it?
Lovely steering wheel in it by the way very classy.
Thanks Tish! Lovely review. As for the car, not for me. It's far too expensive. I've got the Hybrid version, which is much better because I often drive long distances without any charging points in sight and none available at home (common area parking spaces in blocks of flats). It's a cute car, but I'll wait for technology to improve and meanwhile drive the 500 hybrid.
Recently, the Fiat 500E for the North American market was unveiled in the Los Angeles Auto Show. It will apparently land in the North American market in 2024.
I was honestly surprised that Stellantis will sell the 500E for that market later on. These vehicles are very popular here in Europe, but the things that go well in Europe won’t necessarily work well in North America.
I have seen a picture of a Fiat 500 with suicide doors, I wonder if this is the North American version? 🤔
@@AutoSocialUK Let’s see.
Anyways, I’m looking forward to the new Abarth coming in 3 days time.
Surprisingly, US already sold the electric 500 back in 2013
@@yudhabagaskara98 I saw. We never had that here in Europe.
@@AutoSocialUK Hello! I'm from Italy, I'll answer that: the suicide doors version is called 500E "3+1". I don't know if you have it in UK, but here that version is sold together the standard one.
Great video love
Love the fiat 500e great review tish as always 👍🏻 👏 👌
Thank you Matt, as always!! 😄
Loving the reviews ,shame I can't drive anymore but I have to admit you look absolutely gorgeous 😍
I think I should have none
about onto instead of buying a ev outright.
can't to afford to change now.
I brought a kia Niro 64khw
base model 2 love 💕 it.
love all your videos.
Bet you’re loving your Niro? One of the best all round electric cars
Very nice car. It's a good modernization of the iconic 500.
Very interesting video. I really wanted one of these cars but the lack of left foot space in the driver's footwell made it, for me, impossible to drive comfortably (and consequently safely). Thanks!
Interesting. I’ve only sat in one but my immediate thought was what do I do with my left foot, I’d have to drive it with my leg/ankle permanently bent.
@@philipellis7039 Me too. Seemed like a sure fire route to permanent lumbar damage.
Great review Tish! I just love the colour 😁
Honestly I'd need it cheaper to justify it ... Would love to try but deprived area lack of jobs and charging etc... Then again it's costing me £750 a year in insurance so maybe I'll try it for one month in the near future
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. One of the best Small Electric Cars on sale 😊
Thank you Jamie, glad you enjoyed it!
Great review, Tish!
Is there free overnight charging within walking distance of your home?
Great review! Must take a closer look at the car Onto sounds interesting too
You're gorgeous! Have a great Christmas when it comes.
How's the sound system compared to the Abarth 595?
Reviewers really need to start looking at car tech when reviewing new evs. Would you buy a smartphone which cannot update the operating system or download new apps?
There are channels that focus directly on this 😊 There just isn’t enough time when I have most cars for 1 week
Tish should apply for auto express next year
That would be fun wouldn’t it!
I had the VW e up with onto only issue I had was finding a instavolt charger that was working and a max of 100 miles per charge I found I was charging 4 times a week
That is very true, I was worried as my last charger was out of order for a day but instavolt seems to be pretty good at getting them fixed quickly.
Quite a cute little thing! Still a bit unsure about this transition to the EV world 🤓
Whats a realistic motorway range?
Eeek, do you want to be traveling at 70mph??
Fiat 500 is best electic car in market.👍
It’s awesome little car!
Brilliant idea for a review and extremely interesting.
I love your style 😊
Why thank you Simeon!
@@AutoSocialUK you’re very welcome 😊
Cute little car (though still not as cue as you, Tish!). ;) Absolutely loved seeing you in that outfit, too (groovy, baby!). :)
Nice presentation
Thank you for watching Dave!
Okay I love it! 😍
Fiat 500 gal and proud!!
5:08 It frustrates me to see that your iPhone's screen protector doesn't match with your phone.
Hahahah I’m sorry, I don’t like waste and wanted to use these ones up 😂 even worse that it has a crack in it!
500 quid a month!? 😂 you could buy a £1000 car every year and still would be cheaper even with fuel and insurance costs.
Might wanna look at your math lol😂
@@stuartheydon6323 are you telling me it costs more than 5 grand a year to buy and run a decent combustion engine car??? Obviously depends how much mileage you do I suppose…
Great video. I wonder if the average person potentially interested in changing to electric will be put off by the new electric car tax proposals. Love your jacket too (where is that from?)
The halogen headlights are unforgivable for me sorry
EV cars. Just no. Too expensive period. They all need to be 50% less and charging costs lowered to be useful, and the average 170 range. Well its getting there but still should be near 300 to be truly useful.
Oh and OCD looking at your battery levels kills any fun completely.
In the real world OnTo will send you a second hand car. Don't be fooled by the brand spanking new cars in YT reviews.
Of course they will, they have a fleet of cars the are sent out to people one after another?
@@AutoSocialUK You can buy a used e-208 for under £18K or around £200 a month on PCP suddenly OnTo doesn't look that appealing. Unless they send you a new car with only delivery mileage.
Que frio!!😬
Have been with onto for 2 years now. Me an my partner have a car each and have always been looked after. Great choice of cars. She has the 500e and I have the e208 Gt. I highly recommend even just to try them for a month and see what you think. They are always trying to improve. Use code 46880 for £100 off your first month.
