Haven't we all! My Ka doesn't have a (proper) CD player, central locking... it had manual windows, steel wheels and sexy grey bumpers. The 500 has everything! CD player, alloys, glass roof, electric windows, mirrors... Bluetooth It's a technofreak!

It's going to be the 1.2 or the 1.3MJ for me I think. I want a mix of fuel economy and driving enjoyment..

Other people's opinions, whilst worth listening to, are just that, their opinions.

The only person that can decide what is best for you is you, and the only way you'll do that is to drive both petrol and diesel and base your decision on what you think of each.

I've had (occasionally paid for) leather steering wheels since my first Cinquecento Sporting (car 3 of 8) a dozen years ago. Once you've had one, you really don't want to go back.

Same with leather seats. My current Cooper S was my first car with leather seats and they became a must on future cars, hence the appearance on my order for my 500.

Regards,
Tony.

Bugger!, another oversight,
I thought not speccing blue & me I was only missing out on blue tooth, first I find we have no port for the ipod now we have no leather wheel either!
Wouldn't mind the pastic that much but we've specced a leather gearknob and that just won't do.

Retro fit blue & me?
