If you like small cars like the Fiat 500, what else do you like?

I really wish they were a tiny bit longer with 4 doors. Anyway, I'm in the market for a small car that makes me smile. Good visibility wanted. Do you like your 500? What else do you like?

Love my 500. Wouldn’t swap it for anything! Except perhaps a mini.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 17/02/2020 21:46

I went from a 500 to a mini. Thought I loved the 500 totally love my mini!

Did you choose one purely for looks? I like the 500 lounge in white with the white interior (facia, steering wheel etc).

DD has a Toyota Argo if you like small cute cars. The Citroen C1 is reasonable too.

My first was white with white interior but my 2nd is ‘Bordeaux’ with black interior. More practical (white looked grubby) and made a change!

@Chewbecca I was just looking at one online in the Bordeaux colour! It's lovely.

I don't like 500s but love minis!

Baaaahhhhh · 17/02/2020 22:39

DD has a Fiat 500, I have a Mini. They sit on the drive together and both make me smile.

Had a Golf previously. Mini way, way, way, better.

I have a Fiat 500 and love it. I was attracted to it because I thought it was pretty but it works really well for me

StinkyWizleteets · 17/02/2020 22:46

I downsized from land rover to Aygo and I love it. It’s a bit like a tardis. My partner had a Ford Ka that was amazing too. Could fit so much in it.

30not13 · 17/02/2020 22:46

Love the look of 500 but could not get a comfy suitable driving position. It caused my actual physical pain in my legs :(

30not13 · 17/02/2020 22:47

Learnt in a 106. Small cute but v comfortable.

loutypips · 17/02/2020 22:48

Suzuki swift! Not much bigger, but more comfortable.

I had a panda, which I loved, but apparently it's one of the worst cars safety-wise.

opinionminion · 17/02/2020 22:48

Love my 500 she is so beautiful and makes me smile !!! Had a Beetle before which made me smile too Smile

LouisaJenny · 17/02/2020 22:48

Vauxhall Adam is nice, but only come in 3 door I believe.

Toddlerteaplease · 17/02/2020 22:50

I've got a Hyundai i10. I love it.

Toddlerteaplease · 17/02/2020 22:52

Really liked the Aygo/C1/106 but felt really cramped sitting in it.

whatsthebestname · 17/02/2020 23:03

My last car was a Yaris (hybrid) I loved it! It was really economical to run but a bit boring if you're thinking along the lines of Fiat 500 or a Mini.

The aygo I had when my car was in the garage, was horrible and plasticy.
My dd's Adam otoh is lovely and contemporary. A delight to drive.

Just bought a new mazda 2. Had a 12 plate mazda 2 previously. The new one, made from 2019 onwards is slightly wider and longer, but absolutely huge inside, a very clever design. I absolutely love it. Looked at the i10, but a long wait for an automatic so went back to mazda. Glad I did.
