Re: Fiat 500 anyone?

My uncle has one on order, he took me with him when he was test driving it.

It's not my cup of tea, but it's a pretty nifty clown car!

Given the choice..I'd drive one.

Re: Fiat 500 anyone?

Every day, I drive past Driver's Village (an auto megamall about two miles from my house) where they have a slew of them along the main road through it. It's like a little 500 army... kind of funny to see.

I have no valid input.

I like it, I don't see myself in it, but I could easily picture my wife or my daughter in it (when she is old enough).

Re: Fiat 500 anyone?

For the price I personally don't think it is worth it. You can get a real deal Nissan Versa for half the price basically and far better warranty.

bite your tounge. I love the Kia Soul. I'd buy one if it wasn't for the fact that I need AWD. I had one for a rental car for 2700 miles and it was the best rental I have ever had.

as for the Fiat: I'd love to drive one but I have no need for one nor are they very useful. The J Lo commercial is stupid. I don't have a high opinion of her either.

AHHH-Soul !

the least ugly of the the three ugliest cars to come from the Far East in recent memory, but that's not saying much.

the other two are the Nissan Puke and the Toon-town Nissan Pube.


hard to believe these last two were brought to you by the same company that gave us the Z-car and the Skyline

Not to point out the obvious, but if the problem is a gay car, then a Fiat 500 is certainly not the solution!






That being said, I think the 500 is a quirky and fun little car.
