6th gear is actually pretty gd and can use it from 40mph 
also the sport button it has does it just raise the rev range or actually help with handling, couldnt feal any difference.

Not sure why I love these so much, I can see im not alone though. I got in one at the motorshow and heard some woman saying 'bit girly isnt it', Needless to say I shared my opinion.

I work for Fiat and have drove a few of these, very pokey and nippy for a 1.4.
The 6 speed box's are really cool to, very handy for cruising speeds
There's a problem with them already, the wiper blades judder, take it back to dealer and they will fit modified wiper blades.

Im going against the grain and hate these. Drove one and i couldnt see the appeal, and i dont like the exterior looks at all.

Aesome cars - but the side stripes look excellent on them imo
The only downside I can see to them is that the white heater controls etc will probably look quite dated when white goes out of fashion (iPods etc) - but I guess you can get black/grey panels from other models in the range possibly?
But it looks nice and I think they are decent little cars

I have had a yellow one of these for a week. Older generation drivers seemed to like it, as did young females.
I just felt like a tit driving it. The colour may have had something to do with it.

Punto Sporting 1.2 16v's were running 6 sp boxes 5 years ago.
Nice little cars those 500's, but something for a "girly girl" missis, or something you'd buy your mum. Not for me Good reviews though.
