    Great review. I've just bought one of these as I no longer need my large suv. 2 kids passed their tests, bought them cars, so now only my 10 year old and I. My partner has a larger car should I need a bigger car for the day.
    Re seat adjustment, the bottom of the seat does actually move up and down. Possibly there is a fault in yours or it's because you're too heavy in which case you move the seat up /down b4 you get into the car.
    I had to make the seat higher to make it more comfortable for me.... So it does work.
    Your reviews are fab and it was this video that encouraged me to test drive a few 500s.

    A very handy video. As it’s Covid time still I couldn’t take my family for a spin in my new Fiat 500 this was a great substitute. I also got some good tips re the radio and sat nav as I couldn’t get a lesson when I bought the car.

    This video is so helpful as I am thinking of maybe getting a second hand one for my first car but the question I have about the car is it good with petrol usage and would it be a lot of money paying for petrol that gets used/wasted too quickly ?

      thats precisely my opinion too, and it always cuts out just when you dont want it to, sometimes delaying you by a second and putting you in harms way

    Thanks for the excellent review. I am considering buying a 1.2 2019 model. I'm gonna go with the 1.2 rather than 0.9 because i think that the engine is not stressed as much and it's smother overall. What arw your thoughts on the matter?
    Cheers

    • @BarrieCrampton
      @BarrieCrampton  5 лет назад +3

      I think you are very wise, the 1.2 is a better engine and i also think it is more suited to the gearing but thats just muy opinion

      Funny as I prefer the 0.9. Alot more responsive than the 1.2 which I found quite sluggish and a nuisance on faster roads. The 0.9 is also alot more fun to drive as well. Plus, bulletproof engine.

    Barrie, I like watching your videos. They're great. I have only one request. Could you mention how fast you go when you drive around 50 or 60 miles/h? It would give me an idea how quiet it is inside. Thanks.

      must have been an extra cost option from new, however if you just get a cradle , put your phone in it and use the sat nav on that its just as good if not better, also if you sre streaming music from your phone through the speakers your sat navs instructions will play through the cars speakers too

      Im not a fan of stop start, its bad enough when it engages just as you were about to set off at a roundabout and the engine switches off, then launches you right into the path of a car thats now a lot closer than it was before

      Barrie Crampton, I have read that there’s a sensor on the clutch pedal which I am going’s to have disabled, hope this will be the finish of it. Why does Fiat not know of this problem?
