Which 500 model do you drive?

[wreckmaster]

I drive the 1,2 pop. Mainly because of the price, but also because I think the pop interior is the most reto one.

[.Lefteris.]

Good Thread! :icon_thumright:

[wreckmaster]

Tought it would be fun to see what model is the most popular one as this forum gets more and more members. Would also be nice if you 500 owners writes a few words why you bought the model you did.....

[.Lefteris.]

ABARTH because is the best! biggrin2

[VilleV]

We are missing the 1.3 multijet option!:D But mine is a 1.2 lounge.

[wreckmaster]

OOOOps forgot about the diesel, but now it is therelol

[ewandougie]

1.2 Pop :-D

[OrangeSport]

You forgot the Diesel 1.2/1.3/1.4 special editions.... ;)

I drive a 1.2 Sport.

Went for the 1.2 as it is reportedly the nicest engine in the range & I like little fiesty engines with character.

Went for the Sport trim as comparing the specs it had more of what I wanted on it. Main features were the darker tints in the back, fog lights, Blue & Me & the air-con. I prefer the wheels on it too, and I'm not too keen on the look of the glass roof from the outside of the car..

Went for the leather as it finishes the car of really well & it's easy to keep clean with the little 'un in the back.

[cjay]

I went for the sport for a number of reasons.

It's a 1.4 sport, thats the only sport they sell here

The main one was it's the only model you can get here without a sun roof ( don't fit in the ones with a sun roof)

Plus it has cool little red brake calipers :icon_thumleft:

Thee seats and not the ordinary leather that they use. biggrin2

[Cadbury]

What a good idea .... full marks :icon_thumleft:

Considered the Sport would be dearer on insurance and I liked the glass roof. Pop was basic and, by the time I added a few extras, the cost was nearing the cost of the Lounge. Besides, I had to get a car quick so could not wait months for delivery.

Colourwise, eliminated white/blue/green as my old 500 was all three colours, at difference times of course. There was a Punk Grey in the showroom and I loved it. Luckily for mebiggrin2, there was only one Lounge in the UK available.

[minime911]

Hi

I have the Abarth although the 1.3 Multijet would have been more reasonable.
I drove the Multijet for test about one year ago and it was really good, apart for the engine noise.
However when I went to the dealer last November to ask for the delivery date for a 1.3 Diesel, he had his own brand new Abarth standing there in grey with red leather seats (the same I ordered) and I couldn't resist.

I dragged my wife 3 times over there till she said that she would offer it to me as Christmas present.biggrin2

Greetings:

[matizman]

We chose the 1.2 POP because of the road tax , insurance , probable lower running costs and most importantly the basic price.
We did "upspec "it with alloys, chrome kit & mirrors, badge /side strips , rear headrests ,although you have to watch what you add because we were tempted pay the extra and go for a std Lounge .( We really liked the glass roof)

As things turned out ,we never got the one we ordered, due to delays and our Pop was in fact somebody else's cancelled order
The only option it had was the glass roof!? * And after some haggling the dealer changed the wheels and fitted the chrome ,at the right price .

We are really pleased with the outcomelol

*was this your order?

[Pethead]

I changed my Fiat Sedici 4X4 for the 500 1.3 multijet, and now it seems that the 500 engine doesn't make any sound or rumour. It is so silent compraing it with the Sedici....:D

Went for the 1.2 Sport for the same reasons, also found headroom in Lounge a bit tight. Did put 16" alloys on it, though biggrin2

[Bain]

I started off looking at the Pop, due to the price, but then after adding a few bits and bobs on I figured the Lounge was very good value.

Love the Blue&Me, use it constantly. Have yet to use the Air Con though :rolleyes:

The glass roof is really nice too, lets in a lot of light and makes it seem even bigger on the inside!

[Cadbury]

I am going to have to get the aircon looked at... it doesn't seem to get THAT much cooler than the normal fan, and I turn the airflow to recycle instead of taking air from outside.

[Fiat500]

Hi, I got the 500 1,4 sport, it was an bargain. The old importer had it, so it was sold cheap. The sales man called it 500 fire sport. Does anybody know if that is correct? I like it very much, have droven 1500 km since last tuesdaylol

[ewandougie]

I cant believe that an Abarth is currently most popular lmao

[Kertallica]

Don't diss the Abarth :( The 500's are cool cars, but I wanted something that had a bit more edge in my eyes ;)

[ewandougie]

Don't diss the Abarth :( The 500's are cool cars, but I wanted something that had a bit more edge in my eyes ;)

Im not dissing the Abarth, its just amusing how the most expensive 500 is the most popular

[Kertallica]

I'm not sure about that... I've seen and heard more 500's being sold than the Abarth versions. So be proud :D

[VilleV]

I would give my left arm for an Abarth! A red one prefarably. But for now they are not officially imported here so I would have to go to Germany to get one, import it my self and then pay huge amount of taxes.:( If only I was able to get one for 13600 pounds, I know I wouldnt hesitate for a minute! You Brits are so lucky...;)

[Kertallica]

Sadly mine wasn't £13,600 though, was £15120 as I wanted the leather interior, pay for the decals, etc :( But it is so worth it! :icon_thumleft:

[VilleV]

Ok.:( At current rates that makes 17503 euros. I paid for my 1.2 Lounge 17660 euros at the dealers, and that doesnt even include obligatory winter wheels or very necessary additional engine heater. Ad those and the price rises to almost 19000 euros, which makes over 16400 pounds! Of course we have to keep in mind that the euro is very strong against the pound at the moment, but still I must say I do hate the finnish taxes so much! I mean that in no way are the citizens of EU threated equally!:mad:

[Sian500]

Im ordering my abarth 500 esse esse on friday ! going for a test drive first im gettin white with red wing mirrors and stripe and black leather interior and of corse the esse esse pack !! sooo excited how is every one finding theres ?

[Cadbury]

Well congratulations !!

What's the waiting time ?

On the Fiat Configurator, it is interesting how many more 'stickers' they have now...zips, hands etc ... shame they didn't bring these out earlier !

Keep in touch

I dread to think, I won't tell you how much my 1.2 pop cost, it'll only depress you lol !

[Gadget]

I have a 1.2 Lounge and I love it. It's black and chrome on the outside with the bigger alloys and inside - as I said on my video - 'It's all white - it's more than all white, It's lovely!'

The reason I chose it was that it was standing in the showroom smiling at me and they let me have it as soon as I gave them the money. I would have hated to have had to wait.

My previous car sadly is demised - a Red Mk1 MX-5 - and I had convinced myself I didn't need a replacement. However, travelling and shopping on a motor scooter in the winter is no fun at all. So I bought Tux.

I must have been meant to buy that car because four days after I collected it, my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild and I was able to drive 100 miles to see him!

Hurrah!

Congratulation with both the car and the grandchild:icon_thumleft:

[Cadbury]

What a week you had ! Tux and ?

Isn't there some nice stories of why we have our 500s !

[ScorpionCarl]

Abarth. Originally I was going to get a sport and indeed went for a test drive, then I began to see the Abarth rumours. My father had a Strada Abarth which as a kid I loved and the car always attracted my school friends attention. Fiat cars I have had previously like the Punto GT received the Abarth treatment and I always put Abarth badges on the cars. So when I noticed a real 500 Abarth in the offing, it could only mean one thing. Also, the pricing between the two cars isnt astronomical. Using the configurator, its quite possible to match the basic 13,600 Abarth price.

[Cadbury]

What better reason as the Abarth 500 for you now then :icon_thumleft:

[TrippinNomad]

My 500 is the cabrio one - I have a 1.4 lounge in white, red roof and italian side stripes...

I needed a new car after my MX5 finance finished and I wanted to downsize to something cool and cheap! Decided on the detailing I wanted which was the Sport 1.4 and was discussing about how there was no point doing a test drive as it was so different to my MX5. I had virtually signed up and the guy said - have you even seen the soft top version - and I hadn't - but I was sold!!! Decided to drop a few bits like the leather and the colour to help pay for it, and as there is no Sport on the C version that helped costwise - although I did keep the upgraded stereo!!!

Anyway had it for 2 weeks now and I love it... Will post up pics when I get some (too muddy at the moment!) Its definitely a head turner...

[VilleV]

Maybe we should add 500c models to the poll! Hint hint...;)

500C for me......bit of an impulse buy as i went to order a new 500 and they were just wheeling the 500C into the showroom having just arrived. 16" alloys ragamuffin red and ivory just said take me home so i got them to pdi it and picked up the following day....biggrin2....no 3 month wait for me, except for a day when its dry enough to open the roof :icon_thumright:

1.3 Multi Jet Sport in Black

[Albert]

1.2 Sport for me.
I originally went to the showroom to look at a Grande Punto but my wife had other ideas!
We tried a 1.2 Lounge, liked it so decided to configure our own car. After three attempts we came up with something that we liked, ordered it and then 6 weeks into the order modified the spec to include leather seats and the powered sunroof!
As Valentino Rossi fans the colour was non-negotiable --- it HAD to be yellow!

[VilleV]

This is a colour for you then, Albert!:cool:

The by diesel is a special edition, designed by the fasionhouse Diesel. I think the by Diesel is 1,4 petrol! Dont know if you can get them with 1,2 petrol and 1,3 mjet( which is powered by diesel fuel:icon_thumleft: )

[VilleV]

^I think you can get "By Diesel" in both 1.2 and 1.4 petrol, but not in diesel. Tho its By Diesel.lol

[.Lefteris.]

what, no electric By Diesel version ???? :eek:

[Peter O]

You can get the 75 HP Diesel engine as well. Electric engine isn't scheduled so far.
Colours are bronze, green metallic and black, coming in dark blue metallic. Seats are in Jeans, of course. Special wheels, yellow brakes.

[wreckmaster]

Jeans seats in a italian car........not too sure about that:( But maybe it looks cool:)

Will get pictures up soon, dont have any yet and car is filthy due to weather lol

[Peter O]

If you've got the 16V-engine you should have the yellow brake calipers. One detail that I probably will copy in springtime.

[Florrie]

I bought the 1.2 sport because I could take it away from the showroom in 2 weeks. I love the wheels and the interior. lol:) The only downer is no light in the boot:confused:I dont understand why they did not put one into an otherwise perfect car.

[Peter O]

I don't understand either. But good news, you can set it in easily. You get the light at your dealer, it's the same as in the Panda, the partnumber is 0060665239, the cable is already laid. The installation is easy. The price for the light was about 20 € for me, in Germany.
You can see the pictures here (http://www.fiat500blog.de/index.php?/archives/248-Bastelstunde-Kofferraumbeleuchtung-nachruesten.html), I don't think that you need a translation. The pics speak for themselves.
If you need further help to install it, let me know!

That is just silly, why does lounge versions have the light but sport doesnt?:confused: Does not make sence!

But, welcome to 500fans Florrie!!!

[Pethead]

Peter O, what more I like of the installation of the light is the photo of the hands. Are yours? I like man hands. :p Maybe it could sound fetish, but its the part of the body I first look of a man.

[wreckmaster]

To behonest, I did not understand if the slot in the plastic is already there?
Or do you cut it out yourself?

[Cyberdog]

The slot is already there.

Here is an English version of the instructions:

http://www.fiatforum.com/500-guides/165674-adding-boot-light.html

I plan on doing it in mine this spring

[Peter O]

Here is an English version of the instructions

A good instruction! And if you are planning it: just do it! It's really simple.

That is just silly, why does lounge versions have the light but sport doesnt? Does not make sence!

It does not. Except for saving ~ 3 € for Fiat each 500 Sport.

...the photo of the hands. Are yours? I like man hands...No, these are not my hands. The photos are from a different german blog. :D I wouldn't show my hands in publicity!

1.4 sport 58 reg

[wreckmaster]

Welcome to the forum Mark :)

[Peter O]

Welcome Mark from me too.

What is 58 reg?

[VilleV]

I think that 58 reg has to do with what model year the car is, or when it´s registered to road use. 58 meaning that the car is registered in 2008. Brits around here can correct me!

[Bain]

I think that 58 reg has to do with what model year the car is, or when it´s registered to road use. 58 meaning that the car is registered in 2008. Brits around here can correct me!

You're right. 58 means that it was registered in the second half of 2008.

[Gadget]

I think that 58 reg has to do with what model year the car is, or when it´s registered to road use. 58 meaning that the car is registered in 2008. Brits around here can correct me!

An 08 plate was registered between March and August 2008, a 58 plate was registered between September and April.

The first letter represents a geographical region with the second letter as an issuing letter. Then the numbers as above, followed by a random three letter combination.

[Peter O]

Thanks! I couldn't have known. From now on I will pay more attention to British number plates. :)

[VilleV]

It´s nice that you can tell the model year of a car just by looking at the plate! Unless they have been personalized that is.

[wreckmaster]

It´s nice that you can tell the model year of a car just by looking at the plate! Unless they have been personalized that is.

I think it would be nice to be able to personalize my plateslol Here we simply got rising numbers! Two letters first which means city of registration followed by rising numbers:)

[VilleV]

We are able to customize our plates as long as they have at least two letters and one number. For example "NEW-500", "MY-500", "RED-500" or "AS-5"(biggrin2), only imagination is the limit. Cost is 1000 euros.

[wreckmaster]

Expensive for a set of plates toughlol Can you change them over to a new car if you sell the one you have them on?

[VilleV]

Yes, but that will cost 1000 euros everytime you do it...:rolleyes: They know how to get their money.

the one under the glovebox on the passenger side. Only just found it!

[ewandougie]

the one under the glovebox on the passenger side. Only just found it!

I think it has two clips on the side, that you press when you are pulling it out, Id check but I currently away from my 500 :-(

[Peter O]

The best thing is take a mirror and so look at the mechanism.

[NHJ]

Just going out with the mirror & to check for the clips. good job its still light out here in Worcestershire. Thanks for the tips guys.

1.3 multijet lounge. climate control. sunroof. italien stripes. side rubbing strip. average of 55 mpg blatting along at 80+. When i stick to 50 mph i have got 84 mpg. Its not much fun though.

[wreckmaster]

The one over the shelf at front of the passengerseat: Put your finger in the little slot and pull towards you and down!

Under the seat( not on leatherseats and on cars with interscope):
Lift up the front end of the seat and pull towards the shelf / dashboard. Then put your hand behind the rear end of the seat cushion and lift it up!

you can look up the name or better the IP of a new member and check it at www.stopforumspam.com (http://www.stopforumspam.com/). Almost every spammer is known there.

[Peter O]

Meeting: Yes, it would really be fun to meet. I looked at your passage through Germany, and while you're on the segment between Hannover and Frankfurt, you'll pass Oberhausen by 150 kms. Oberhausen is far west close to the Dutch border. It's a little bit off your route, but sure it would be nice.

On Flickr I found a picture of a beautiful blue 500 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/emmkayfive/4894155137/in/pool-396035@N20/) out of the Oslo region. First I thought of yours, but a second look proved it wasn't.

Here is the same car as you found a photo of, this car was the reason I chose jive blue! I was actually decided on a red one and could not make up my mine if I should choose pasodable red or your kind of red:) Then I did see this car displayed in the dealership and we absolutely fell in love with itlol Never regreted for a second:icon_thumleft: This car is a 1,3mjet pop, looks exactly like mine, just with other wheels and no crome on mirrors:cool:

My car and this car is the only jive blue ones sold at my dealership:icon_thumleft: Just a few was sold nationwide as most dealerships did not take them in as demonstrators and the color configurator wasen`t very accurate when it came to colorslol

I will try out different routes on the google maps for my Italia trip and see which one that brings me closest to Oberhausen. Maybe I could drive through Holland, Belgium and France if it is not too much further than driving the A7 through Germany. I know we will come a shore in Germany in either Puttgarten or Rostock and we have tought of going via Innsbruck and drive in to Italia via Trent, just to get a slightly different route than last year. We will see which route we decide on. It is still three weeks until we start:icon_thumright:

Interesting to read about the various choices!

I went for a Pop 1.2, because I didn't like the Lounge's glass roof, which left too little headroom. I did really like the fit of the Sport's seats, but did not like their colours and the black dashboard, nor the bigger wheels...
So a Pop it had to be, although I've more or less specced it up to Lounge standards with Blue & Me, Interscope, Split rear seats & Climate Control.

I don't have a 500 yet but I want an Abarth SS. It will make a great track car! biggrin2

[chaazureblue]

I got a 1.4 sport. I was going to go for a 500 with a sunroof but it didn't suit the car or the colour, also my dad would of had a problem getting in and out of the poor thing (6'4") Anyway, i didn't go for a smaller engine as i learnt with BSM 1.2l basic pop and that wasn't good on my local roads, hence why i have abarth alloys for stability whilst bouncing about on the A and B rural roads of Surrey. :)

I've got a 1.2 Pop ElectroClash grey (color nr 695) red/ivory int.,full options.
