My girlfriend wants one of these.......
« on: May 04, 2012, 09:46:52 pm »


Has anyone got any first hand experience of them? Wondered whether to warn her off them or not. Think it's quite a good looking little car.  :laugh:

Awesome little cars. Ignore the badge stereotypes, I bet they score higher than VAG these days in reliability surveys.

I think they do a special ss kit, don't know how much more powerful it is but is it worth going for? Think it's about 2k. Thanks for the replies  :happy2:

My wife is in  :love: with them. Only problem is, she doesn't drive and I certainly ain't  getting one! Have never been in one so I shouldn't pass judgement but REALLY!!!

I think they're a lot less 'girly' than a normal 500. Also they're quite rare, well I don't see many! Just wanted to know they're mechanically sound  :happy2:
