Default Which 500 interests you (or do you own)?

Just interested to find out what kind of Fiat 500 you are interested in (or maybe own already), Sport, Lounge, Naked, Abarth, Pop, Diesel, Petrol....?

I thought it would be interesting to find out which of the new range is most appealing to people, and if the 500 would be used a second (or third) car, a little toy, or your main mode of transport?

The one that catches our eye (perhaps predictably) is the idea of the Abarth model(s). But with one child already, and another on the way, if we ever justified the purchase at all it could only be a second car, so maybe the Diesel would be more sensible!

I'd want a Petrol engine and probably the Lounge version (which is supposed to be designed for comfort).

The 500 would be my 'main' car, however I would probably keep my little Ford Ka in the garage as well ;-)

Coming from a MINI Cooper S I'm obviously interested in the Abarth as my only car. I've previously told myself to not buy a new car again because of the huge loss of money in the first years but maybe a good financing model could turn my plans around...

The Abarth interests me the most. My last two cars have been a Works, then a GP so I fancy something with a little bit of poke. )

If I can afford it at the time I'll be going for the Abarth. I've always had warm/hot hatches and love them.

Realistically, with interest rates on the increase and a wedding to pay for I'll be getting a 1.4 petrol in Sport trim and a reasonable spec such as full climate and upgraded hi-fi.

I would be interested in the Abarth model! I really hope it comes to USA, I am highly considering it as my next car.

I'm thinking of a fairly specced up 1.2 Pop too Mark I just can't decide between Punk Grey or Ye Ye Green.

Cool

Put my money down on a 1.3 multijet Lounge spec. as a secondish car - the others being an Audi A2 and Fiat Barchetta for sunny Manchester days. The model that really interests me is the future 0.9l two cylinder petrol but I think we may have to wait a while for that variant. Lightweight, chuckable, 100hp and £0 road fund licence for having < 100g/km CO2 emissions

The two cylinder is very intriguing, could be a really big hit as it has a bit of everything for the modern city car.
