It’s done it! After creating astonishing interest, stoking up colossal passion and becoming the motoring buzzword of the moment, the new Fiat 500 has won the big one – the European Car of the Year crown. It’s already scooped TV’s Fifth Gear Car of the Year title and been named CAR Magazine’s top motor for 2007, so the 500 is going to need a bigger trophy cabinet as it continues to bring home the silverware. This latest honour is the really important one, though, and brings the total number of Fiat Group wins in this tough competition to 12 – more than any other manufacturer. Judged by specialist journalists from 22 European countries, the award lays the foundation for a remarkable future for the super-compact. And with 385 votes, the Fiat 500 was streets ahead of its nearest rivals: the Mazda 2 (325) and Ford’s Mondeo (202). It clearly pressed the starter button for the European Car of the Year jurors – so does it get your vote?

This car looks the part! Godbye to the BMW Mini and the small Renaults etc. Perfect shape and choices of colour and configuration for the young trendy ones that have just passed their test. Affordable for insurance purposes and a breath of fresh air for a parent like me who has to fork out the expense for a first, reliable anf noticable car for my daughter! Well done, and thankyou to FIAT.
