    Agreed;


    A very poor copy of a car that was designed primarily as a very cheap, basic means of transport for peasants in latin countries, at least the original was cheap to buy.

    Yeah a very poor copy of what? The Panda is one of the best selling cars in Europe. Actually I cannot be bothered arguing with brain dead idiots any more.

    I wasn't talking about the Panda, if your post is targeted at me, I was discussing the 500.

    I assumed you were with the peasents comment. The 500 is not supposed to be a peasent car.

    I actually like the 500 but I wouldn't buy one because I need the five doors. The 500 is very good value for money when you consider how easy it is to get discounts and how well equiped it is.

    The original 500 was a Peasants Car, which the new 500 is loosely based upon, do try to keep up...;)

    The new 500 is over priced, and over hyped.

    The Panda is a far better car and far better value, if you really are in to buying Fiats.

    I've owned a Fiat, not a 500, one was the Tempra, the other was the 500's successor the 126. Both superb cars, both good to drive, and both totally reliable.
    I fancy the 500 Abarth as a fun car to have.

    As you say, some people just don't know how to have a little fun in their lives. ;)
