    I’m 19 and I have a yellow 2011 fiat 500, I paid £1,800 as the car was a none runner which I purchased of eBay, luckily I know a mechanic who was able to fix the car. After paying for the repairs I believe I paid in the 2,400-2,500 region. I love my little ‘sunflower’ and it perfectly suits me for what I need and you always see me coming.

    As a person born in the UK who lives in the US its so funny to me seeing the differences between the two countries when it comes to motoring. The cost of fuel being so much higher in the UK means everyone is looking for maximum economy. Still you can have a lot of fun in a small car like that. I used to own one of the original Mini Coopers (not the BMW version) and it was a ton of fun to drive and blast around the Towns and Countryside of the UK. Nice video.

    Tiny, nippy cars like the 500 are extremely fun for city driving, especially if you can pick one up really cheap like that. Looks to be in overall pretty nice shape considering too, no AC in this heatwave though? Eek!

  • @livndays45
    @livndays45 Před 6 lety +1

    Just a heads up. Things that will go wrong on this car:
    The pads and discs will be shot soon, unless a good garage has replaced them before you got it. Fiat assemble the brake system dry, so the carrier pin on the caliper sticks and, without you realising it, wears the pads down to bare metal and warps the discs (if you leave it long enough.)
    The rear hubs will need cleaning because the handbrake will stop working properly.
    The slave/master cylinder will leak hydraulic fluid. This level only has to get slightly low and the clutch will no longer engage. You’ll notice this first, if you’re not checking your levels, by the fact that occasionally gears will crunch despite you pressing the clutch all the way to the ground. Fiat, in their infinite wisdom, have made the entire hydraulic system non repairable, so you’ll have to replace both the master cylinder and slave cylinder, just to fix the leaking pipe work. Slave cylinder you can get from euro car parts. Master cylinder you have to go to dealers.
    The flexi joint will corrode, and because it’s such a small car, everything back from the cat is one piece, so you’ll have to replace the whole exhaust (excluding the cat, thankfully.)
    The door handles will break off in your hands. About an hour DIY if you’ve never done it before.
    The water pump will start leaking. At that mileage I’ll be willing to bet the cam belt hasn’t been done, so you’ll want to do that at the same time as the WP.
    Other than that these are reliable cheap to run cars 😂😂😂

    • @livndays45
      @livndays45 Před 6 lety

      Oh and the radiator will need replacing if it hasn’t already. They are nasty cheap rads from the factory and they crack over time. Watch out for puddles on the drive!

    • @flparrotz1
      @flparrotz1 Před 6 lety

      I had a Fiat 500 Pop for about 5 weeks and could take no more. First thing that went was the thermostat then a week later, the water pump ( had to be back ordered which tells me that water pumps are a problem or they wouldn't have been back ordered) then the AC quit. Then it started shuttering and sputtering and shutting off when you'd start it up cold and this would last for about 1 minute. REplaced the sensor with a new one, that didn't help and kept going back to the shop and they never did figure out what was causing that so i traded it in on a mitsubishi mirage. Loved the Fiat 500, just couldn't take all the repairs, just absolutely ridiculus!

    I own a 2012 Sport model with 145K miles ... still get 38 to 40 mpg but it is starting to sputter somewhat. Found out that it needs 4 new spark plug coils to replace the originals. About $160 total. That’s reasonable. Has been a great car

    Ahh the Fiat 500! My wife has one of these, a 14 plate 1.2 69BHP with stop start.
    I noticed that when you pulled away I could hear gearbox whine and it’s common failure on those around 30 odd thousand miles (input shaft bearing tends to go) my wife’s at 24k on the clock is starting to show signs of crunchy syncros and maybe has a similar fete.
    Also I agree about how fun these things are to drive even with such little power, I wish she had bought an abarth :p

    • @mizinoinovermyhead.7523

      Mine had no problems but a window regulator going (my gf slams doors when shes mad so I don't blame the car really), at around 83k miles on the clock when it suddenly came into contact with the south end of a north bound truck (my gf was driving at the time). Manual tranny with the 105 hp engine for us americans. Great car.

  • @04poppop
    @04poppop Před 2 lety

    The big plus of this car is insurance, considering some people pay several thousands a year and you can squeeze it on couple of hundreds a year plus 30£ and 5L per 60 with decent manner. This is king of thriftiness and value for money! Just how much you save on insurance and petrol pay pay off depreciation on value of the car.

    So I guess nobody is going to mention that the "city" button on the model is just the sport button from the 4 cylander 500s, but with inverted functionality. When you push that button on the 4 cylanders, it stiffens everything up instead of loosening. You're essentially running in sport mode by default with the car in the video.

    I drove one as a rental. Only thing I Hated when changing from 3rd to 5th when accelerating on the slip road. The gearbox goes slightly further to the right before going down into reverse, ok but you need to go only slightly past the center then up to go into 5th, so a quick change into 5th can be awkward if your not used to it.

    My son just bought a Fiat 500 with 133,000 miles on the clock. 1.2 engine, 2008. Goes ok, but suspension, exhaust and clutch are near end of life, it was also cheaper than this one.

    Something is seriously wrong. The steering wheel is on the wrong side.
