FIAT 500L why oh why

[mjheathcote]

Hideous!

Like the BMW Mini, they have to stretch, chop, and lower the dam things!

Marketing and sales..........thats how they all work now........following the sheep

We drove one 12 months ago

The worst drive ever!
Walked away after the test drive, did not feel safe, very cheap interior, the road noise at 50 was unbearable!!

Bought an old CRV instead that does the job a lot better!!

 

[dem maser]

Its more a Panda than a 500 but marketing men......500 has something about it.....

 

[Parisien]

Road noise in the 500 is an issue, very tyre related IMHO.....otherwise the original is a great little town car

...and they should have stopped it there.

 

[Parisien]

Indeed, the Mini was a class up in value and quality, the 500 can't bridge that gap when its being evolved beyond it limits.....pity

It is a shocking addition to what is a great looking car.....Yuk

 

[dem maser]

Love to havea 500 but too expensive...my Panda will do

Love our 500 in black by Diesel edition and so cheap to run with £20 a year road tax.

 

[dem maser]

You get good mpg Phil?

 

[conaero]

Yeah its a minger, how can they get it so right then so wrong. They blatently copied the hideous new Mini I feel.

calling the new Mini a mini is as absurd as calling me Lewis Hamilton............it not only is humungous it is void of any design........ a box on wheels

 

[Parisien]

......how are you keeping Lewis??!!

The regular mini is still the appropriate size viz a viz the rest of the market.

Panda is a more honest car. 500 is like an Adam or A1 - overpriced and based on something far cheaper.

The new Mini has a wheelbase similar to a Freelander, how is that mini.

I have never been a fan of the shape but each incarnation gets worse
