I went for a 1.2 Lounge in Bossa Nova white with a tricolor waistband and side bump strips. Solid red is also good. So is solid black. But a white dash with white leather steering wheel is very highly desirable. Black dash and black steering wheel isn't. Lots more complex spec options on 500Cs. All 500s are now coming through with the improved rear suspension that transforms the ride, handling and steering from standard Panda to very good. Avoid base spec Pops because they will all be tarred with the BSM brush. And unless they do a high mileage, diesels are prone to DPF problems.
