Lounge suits?
I have just found out the FIAT 500 is available under the scrappage scheme, making a basic Pop version £6,300. I understand you have the Lounge spec. I was wondering is it better to splash on the Lounge version. Are the extras worth it? Basically I'm looking for a reliable, attractive city car. I would like aircon, but perhaps I could just add that to the basic spec. By the way, is the aircon any good? Is it worth having?

I considered a Pop with a few upgrades. But you actually get a better package with the Lounge spec. The a/c is fine. I love the white leather steering wheel and while plastic dash trim. But the best bit is the hands-free voice activated Blue & Me phone system. Just picks up your phone as soon as you get in the car and is always ready. The glass roof is a mixed blessing. Brightens it up, but is vulnerable to droppings from planes.
