So last month I had a mega indulge and brought a new car. I needed a new car that was suitable for work, cheaper to run and stylish...but has the Fiat 500 met my requirements?
I've had my new car about a month now and I did not want to review it straight away as I wanted to give it a real test drive. For the first weeks of buying a new car your in this haze of amazingness where you can not fault it in anyway, but I thought the only way for a fair review is to give it chance for me to get used to it.
Firstly I wanted a new car as before hand I drove a bashed up Vaxuhall Corsa that previously had 7 owners and was not looked after very well. It was costing me a lot to insure and maintain as it kept breaking down. I loved my little car and it did me well but the running costs were too much and of course every girl dreams of their perfect car. Originally I would drive around dreaming that I was in a VW beetle but after lot's of research I realised that unless brand new, those cars would not suit my budget or save me money. I also was not keen on buying second hand as my first 2 experiences of second hand cars have not been very good. I suppose you pay for quality after all. After lots more research, I went to my second choice of car which was a Fiat 500. Nearly every girl in my town owns one of these and I would drive past them wishing that it was me. So after a long time of speaking to my local Fiat garage, I decided to take the plunge and buy one.
For a while I did not want a white car, but the more I looked into picking the colours I was finding myself spoilt for choice. The 500 range has almost every colour possible which I found really hard to pick so I decided to go for white. I also liked the white colour as it meant it matched the interior of the car perfectly. The reason I like 500's so much is because of there quirky shape, small size and retro looking interior. I believe it is the ultimate girl car. It won't be suitable for the future like when I want children and it definatley wont pull my caravan but its perfect for leisure and my job.
So, has it disappointed me in any way?
This car was made for me! It has everything I have ever dreamt of it in. It's size means I can pull into any spaces without worrying or shuffling to fit. It's retro interior is to die for. It's pure white with a large leather steering wheel, and a high gear stick which is perfect for someone who is used to driving a little low down Corsa. I really like the layout of my car like its speed dials and digital screen. I find this really useful and easy to read. The seats (which design I picked myself) are so comfortable and have no rips in unlike my old car. They are really easy to clean and are like sitting in a comfy arm chair.
The model of my 500 is the "Lounge". It comes with the standard black sunroof which I love, expect I wish it would open like my old car. There's nothing nicer then the sun shining down on you whilst driving. My car also comes with the Start/Stop system which is designed to save you on petrol, reduce emissions and make sitting in traffic easier. You literally take your feet off the pedals and bam! your car is turned off. It may sound a bit scary and strange at first, but it's really easy to use and is a clever way to stop you riding your clutch (if that's a bad habit of yours). It also has the Blue&Me system so that you can connect your phone and make calls by literally talking to your car. I press a button on my steering wheel say "Call Mom" and it will immediately ring my mom so I can legally talk to her whilst driving. I can also charge my phone effortlessly whilst driving and play my music through it. This is by far my favourite bit.
The best part about my car is how stylish it is. Wherever I go, I always get complimented for it. I see my car as kind of an accessories like a nice handbag or statement necklace so I like to make sure it is clean and shiny at all times. I take pride when driving my car and I love how well suited to me it is. I would definatley recommend this car and if your interested then I would book yourself in for a test drive.
