i'm sure i'll like my new fiat 500, but i'd rather be driving my copen vivid that has died. I've convinced myself that i'll see a super cheap 1.3 for sale in the next year and buy it as my weekend car. I live in hope.....
My other half badly wanted a fiat 500, but it was a bit disappointed when finally test driving one. Then had a go in Copen and ended up buying one - such a fabulous car that I had to get one too! They really do get into your soul and you know you'll get another one soon It was sad to hear your recent tale and that you had to get another car quickly. I don't envy that predicament and you have mine and many others sympathy - I hope you do end up finding a good 1.3, at least you have a bit of time to wait for the right one - best of luck
The Fiat 500 is quite a character car too. I always take a second glance when I drive past one. Have fun with it!
it was a bit different driving home in work with the 500 today - with the copen i'm in fifth gear by 40mph with this I had to switch back down to 4th to accelerate at a decent speed up to 70 and only then select fifth. maybe on a technical level that's the way it should be with efficient cars but it threw me!
IIRC, the owners manual recommends gearing up to 5th when you hit 70... I can't remember if that is KPH or MPH
