Does anyone drove a FIAT 500?

Do you drive it on city mode?

*drive even

My DD has one and rives it on city mode, only does V short journeys to and from station etc

I do but I've never used city mode. I might give it a go, though a quick google suggests it can cause issues to leave it on all the time.

I used to have one but rarely used city mode. I found the handling too light when doing normal driving, I did feel it made parking easier though but maybe that’s just me.

I found the handling too light when doing normal driving

To be honest I find the handling to be very light anyway, I'd be scared to twitch my hand if it was any lighter!

I was told by the dealer that city mode is for turning in tight spaces etc so I only put it on when I'm doing a 3 point turn in a narrow space or something like that. If I leave it on by mistake the steering feels too light but it's perfect for turning in tight spaces, parking etc.

I only do it in tight spaces if I remember but the steering is light enough anyway so I don’t use it very much

Thanks everyone, just being nosey really! DD is the FIAT owner. I never use it, but my car is a VW sharan so the steering on the 500 feels so much lighter anyway, DD uses it all the time!

Google suggests that using it all the time can cause serious faults so warn her against it.

Google also suggests it doesn't to be fair. It depends where and what you read!

She knows about it; and has chosen to drive with city on, it's not really up to me to try and override her decision.

I drive it with city on, mostly because I have joint issues so anything that makes the steering lighter is better for me. On the odd occasion DH drives it the first thing he does is turn it off.

I never switch mine off as I live the lightness if it. No issues after 3 years...
