Is it really wrong of me to want one?

they seem to come fully loaded (climate, bluetooth) as standard, are insurance group 4, a hoot to drive according to reviews, have a 6th gear for motorway cruising and seem well priced on the 2nd hand market

They look better in the flesh than they do in photos imo - a couple round here with tinted windows etc too look pretty smart.

I see one at Asda most times I'm there, and 1 'lives' on the way to the girlfriends. They catch my eye all the time.
Might go to a Fiat dealer just to test drive one

I'd love one in red. But after living with a red car for 3 years I'm not sure I could again unless more modern non-Vauxhalls don't fade!
I'd love one in the blue colour.
You can pick them up for 2 years old with average miles on for under £6k iirc.
Anyone know what the reliability is like on newer Fiats?

Guy I work with has one, they look terrible in my opinion and infact the majority of people in my office said they wouldn't own one. However, it is a great laugh to drive! I would liken the power delivery to a corsa with an mantzel style inlet, pulls like a train near the end of the rev range. His eats a set of tyres every month or so though
