    Got to go with the 500

    I have driven 100s of different cars, but mine makes me smile every day

    Get the 1.2 Still very nippy, but £35 a year to tax, 50+ MPG, and Low Low Insurance

    I've a mate who went to Italy and was saying how his frends picked him up in "a crappy little Fiat" and he was crammed in the back and I replied "you mean a bit like when you gave me a lift in your 500?".

    When we go to Italy I'm always surprised by how many ancient Fiats are still on the go. Even as old as 126s and 127s as well as Pandas and Unos. I find them quite appealing for some reason, especially the 126. :o

    As Vicky said! I bought mine becasue it was one of the cheapest new cars on offer, great deal with the scrapage scheme. It's cheap to tax, insure and economical on the fuel. And most importantly it's beautiful! I love jelly! It's also had great reviews from what I've looked at.

    Count the doors, the 500 has 3, the i10 has 5, it also has Air Con as standard, even on the basic model, 5 year warranty.....no brainer.

    Panda 100HP is a cheaper, better equiped 500 1.4 without a frock on
    The 500 might have better residuals though it depends on how long you plan on owning the car, more than 4-5 years it wont make a big difference

    Never been in an i10, don't think i'd want to either ;)

    Why?

    If you were to buy with your head, the Korean offering would be the way to go, but if you have any soul, sense of style or decency the 500 has to be the car of choice.

    How about Sense of Humour to add to your list?:rotfl:

    Surely nobody would want to be seen in such a joke of a car.:D

    This is my dilema!

    It probably isn't a " dilema " because you will find that no dealers actually have an i10 for sale anywhere in the country.
