Fiat 500 (2008 on)
0.9 85hp Twinair Lounge 3dr Hatchback
Good little car for two in the front seats
I'm now at 33,000 ,miles from new with 49.5 mpg, and hardly ever use the eco button. The second service isn't due until 36000 miles (first was at 18000 in February 2016, and I had a 10000 first year check and oil change in May 2015). It sailed through its first MoT in May and the only top ups have been a pint of oil and washer fluids. I'm still on my original tyres (Good Year Efficient Grip) with 3mm on the fronts, so they'll get changed with the second service. No bulbs have blown, everything still works, no rattles or niggles. The only downsides are lack of room in the back for two adults and a small fuel tank that gives the car a range of only 350 miles..
The only extra work done is recharge the air conditioning in May 2016. . 33000 miles of trouble free motoring with £600 of service costs so far. A splendid result and still fun to drive, though when I get into my other car (an old Volvo estate) it is noisy, bouncy, seats are not as comfy and the little engine doesn't have much torque to pull away at low revs. You get what you pay for - and so far the Fiat quality is miles better than it was 30-40 years ago when they were all rust buckets with stuff going wrong all the time.
PS my daughter loves it too!
