I have a baby blue 500 up my drive just now!
I love it!
It's my bosses and she left it with me to clean it and have a look at a 'clunk' when she went away on vacation. It's a diesel and does a million miles to the gallon while looking very cool.
My other half went in to buy a 500 however came out with a petrol Punto Sporting (same engine as Abarths but in a different tune) for the same money as a basic ish 500. Loads more room in it, front, back and boot. We even took it to LakeZ, only major criticism is that there is no f**king spare wheel!
