Got this little beauty a couple of days ago. Following all the deliberations over an electric car, my heart definitely won over my head!! Amazing fun to drive. Have a great weekend!

It's not electric! I was looking at electric cars, but the range and cost put me off!

Congrats!

I'm thinking of private leasing a Fiat 500 as my first car, they're quite affordable and I love the design.

A bit different to the one I drove in 1968.

The price in Oz is a joke.
