Fiat 500 1.3 m/Jet Diesel

[Matt Bodycombe]

I think you are probably right. I like the look of the G.P. The 500 has loads of charisma though and reminds me of my initial driving years in the late 90's. My mate had a previous 500 Sporting and that was a cracking little thing. Got lots of fond memories of small Fiats, perhaps it's the turning 30 syndrome. I like the appeal of a really dinky runaround such as the 500 but I don't think you will see these on faitsupersaver!

I may go on line as check out a G.P Sporting. I like the sound of the little 1.4 turbo and 1.9 130 Diesel . I don't like my particular local dealer in Kent though. My father bought off them when they sold a more exclusive marque and they were rubbish. They are who I'm seeing next week and they are the ones who said to me that the Abarth is not coming to the U.K (as they need special dealers). Probably trying to tuck me into a 1.4 now.

I also like the old small fiats many years ago, i used to have an uno turbo, that was a cracking car (if very poory built! lol..) I would go for a 500, but I like the speed, so would have to wait for the arbarth versions

fiat dealers have a much worse rep, than skoda dealers, but luckily for me, my local family owned dealer is fantastic (If a little stressed with all the people ordering the 500! lol..) they have looked after me well, and I will probably be buying from them again

edit: the arbarth is being marketed as a seperate brand to fiat (you'll have no fiat badges, just the classic scorpion!) and there are going to be special dealers that will "just" sell arbarths...... however, my dealer said, although they wont be allowed to stock them, they can order them for me

well I will post some pics up of the girlfriends one when it arrives, ordered it on Saturday, 1.4 lounge (sunroof version)

nice little car had a quick test drive myself, still prefer a Abarth 1000TC, but you need about 20K for one, but never mind!
