I'm sure there is something wrong with me but I have had a hankering for a Fiat 500 for a while now, I love my uber-gay Smart Car which is perfect for work but having no back seats is a bit of a pain now we've got the bubba..

I want another small car but with usable rear seats and ISOFix, plus I do like quirky car..

Are they are shit as everybody makes out? Should I give up now?

I've been looking at these too, but they rarely come up in a tasteful combination

I think they cost a lot to repair/service and are a bit of a pain to sell apparently - plus they are SO girly. Abarth aside, I don't think any bloke ever had said that he drives a fiat 500.

I looked at the Toyota IQ for a 4 seater quirky car for the Missus. Cheap as chips and safe! She bottled getting one in the end and went ended up with yet another clio.

Out driving the other day and one speeds past. She starts with the "I wish we had got an IQ". Women!!!

I looked at an IQ there is so little space inside..The great thing about the Smart is it feels massive when you drive it, the IQ was a typical Jap car made for midgets.

Nothing wrong with a 500 really. They just look a bit girly!

My sister has one. Don't sit in the back if you are 6ft or over. You'll never get out again.

I'm over 6ft and sat in the back for the entirety of our ~1hr test drive of an Abarth. No problems tbh.

They are utterly feeling less to drive. No feedback at all. Like driving with a ps2 wheel and pedal set

You must be well out of proportion then. My head touched the roof and I had to sit sideways as my legs wouldn't fit behind the seat.

The point is to get a car that costs very little to run
