Buying a Fiat 500 automatic - which engine should I choose?
I want to buy a Fiat 500, which must be both petrol and automatic. However, I am confused as to which engine I should get. I live in a hilly rural location and drive only about 6000 miles a year. Which engine would be best for my needs?

Unfortunately there is no solution. The 1,242cc four-cylinder petrol engine hasn't taken well to conversion to EU6 and the Dualogic automated manual transmission just doesn't suit the 875cc TwinAir. It was bad enough in Holland. I guess would be a nightmare in a hilly area.
