I am pretty sure that I will. Might be tomorrow or might be in September/October. Depends on how things go with this red one. It has the controls on the steering wheel and blue tooth - is that the blue and me?
What colour is your C? Is your Avatar picture your C?
Yes, if you've got the steering wheel controls, that's the blue & me.
My Avatar isn't mine, but it was the closest I could get. I went for Bossa Nova White with a black roof in the end. I've got the Pop version so have got red seats with white piping. It looks lovely. I also added the Italian flag side stripe just for a bit of extra oomph!
Must admit though, the white was after first ordering red, then cha cha cha azure before finally plumping for white! I think the salesman dreading me pulling in to make yet another change. But then if they didn't take so long to order (16 weeks for mine) you wouldn't be able to keep playing on the configurator and see all the different options!
Yes, I really love it. I went online and ordered some red car mats with white piping too. They really set it off.
Although I make people take their shoes off before they get in, I don't want my mats getting dirty!
Looks like my great idea for getting a Fiat 500 is stuffed. The garage didn't bother to phone back either with a price for my car or to say they had sold the fiat to someone else but I presume that they have.
If that is the service we get before we even buy the car then I think they can forget it. Pity, but I was beginning to get concerned with what people said about the after sales "service". I think I will go somewhere they want our business.
That would be a real shame as they are lovely cars.
Maybe there's a different dealer you can buy the car from?
Just picked up my Fiat 500 pop yesterday and I can honestly say I'm in love!!! No really went out for a drive today and loved every minute.I'm sure you would be very pleased if you get one. I too live in the country and have to drive along country lanes so am aware of the dangers. Good luck with your purchase
I have had my Fiat 500 for 2 years and 2 months now and have no mechanical problems bar a failed sensor, a blown fuse, microphone breaking and a split pipe. However the fact the Fiat 500 is sold as a stylish vehicle I do have a few problems with the finish. T
The check cloth seats get very blotchy very quickly and will send you bog eyed with the amount of cleaning you will try and fail to remove the problem. I have become addicted to looking at other Fiat 500 seats and have seen countless similar cases. I have tried home cleaning and professional cleaning and nothing has worked so if anyone has any suggestions I would be greatful. My suggestion is get the leather seats.
The leather steering wheel has started to bubble, I am sure leather is not ment to bubble and my previous car that I had for 8 years had a leather steering wheel and that didn't bubble so I think it is a quality issue. I noticed it starting after about 1 3/4yrs but stupidly did not act upon it straight away and when I did get around to reporting it they said I had just run out of warrenty. They did say they would put £100 towards my replacement but the replacement is over £300! For £300 you would think I would get a steering wheel that doesn't bubble and look awful after 2 years. Thanks Fiat! I have heard people report that the replacement is of a better quality and also if you get leather seats, you get a better quality steering wheel. So again get leather seats and report any faults as soon as you notice them.
Finaly I paid extra for cha cha azure paint, but after about 6months small brown spots appeared everywhere, I managed to polish them off but I am assuming I have removed the protective layer with them. I thought it must have been something on my car but have seen since a number of mentions of these little stains so if you get them, report them.
So yes its cute and fun to drive but quality is an issue and I suggest doing a full inspection after a year and a half so you can get any niggly bits sorted before the warrenty runs out, the 3rd year of the warrenty ony cover mechanical issues.
