NF500 / vote

When Fiat revealed that the new 500 will cost from £7900 when it goes on sale in the UK in January, What Car? decided to conduct a survey of readers to ask which of three superminis they would chose to buy. The MINI, which they state costs from £13,025 (although their buyers guide says £11,625), the Twingo from £8375, or the Fiat 500 at £7900.

The Fiat 500 proved the overwhelming winner, attracting 55% of the vote, compared to the Mini’s 37% and Twingo’s 8%. Read the full report on the WhatCar.com website.

The pricing of the new 500 has certainly been a pleasant surprise for many potential customers, and could certainly help boost the sales of the car, especially when compared to the pricier MINI range.
