FIAT 5oo (Topic Ufficiale)

[poppy84]

Trovata in pronta consegna...Azzurra, lounge, cerchi da 16. Non sanno ufficialmente i prezzi, entro sera vedo di lasciare un acconto e di farmela dare il prima possibile. Sarebbe la mia terza 500 dato che ho due L, una del 69 beige (splendida) ed una del 70 (meno bella).

In ogni caso la nuova é stupenda.

The figure 500 looms large in Fiat's servicing and finance offers, albeit based around kilometres and euros, so it won't sound quite to neat translated for the UK market next year. '500 Cents' is a package which costs five euros a day as part of a lease/purchase plan, while '50to500' calls for a 50% deposit with the final 50% payable after two years. Both of these deals come with '500 Free', which includes free servicing and breakdown recovery, plus taxi fares up to 50 euros while the car is in the garage. They also include a five-year or 500,000km (300,000 mile) warranty. It will be interesting to see how many buyers reach 300,000 miles within the warranty period.

L'allarme dall'esperto Stuermer

"La nuova 500 della Fiat potrebbe spazzare via la Smart dal mercato italiano". A lanciare l'allarme è Christoph Stuermer, esperto del settore automobilistico dell'Istituto di previsioni e studi di mercato Global Insight al quotidiano "Financial Times Deutscheland". Stuermer ha aggiunto che "la 500 rappresenta un investimento assolutamente importante nel marchio. In tal modo la Fiat potrà riuscire a essere di nuovo considerata chic".

ha detto proprio bene stò Stuermer ed io aggiungo finalmente perchè non è possibile che solo in Italia si vendano ste scatolette spacciate per automobili........

Eh?

Comunque, circa le pagine dipende che impostazioni hai sul tuo PC, se tieni quella che di default visualizza 10 post per pagina, sono 5OOO giusti in 5OO pagine:

On the road, the Panda-derived chassis delivers precise handling and an impressively refined ride for a car that’s so shortIs Fiat’s stunning new 500 the best small car of the millennium? You had better read on if you want to find out!

Auto Express was first behind the wheel of the newcomer – and our early access means we can bring you a comprehensive verdict on every model in the range ahead of our rivals.

But before we start, it’s important to get the 500’s arrival into perspective. New model launches don’t come much bigger than this – 7,000 invited guests will be present at this week’s debut for the car, and every one is fighting to get a chance to drive the machine that’s described as the most important Italian vehicle ever introduced. This is symbolic not only of Fiat’s pedigree as a master builder of small cars, but also of the industrial giant’s miraculous financial recovery.

The launch has been timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the first 500, so emotion is running high – but what should UK drivers look forward to when the Fiat hits forecourts early next year?

With a three-strong engine line-up – all of which comply with strict Euro V emissions regulations – and more than half-a-million possible trim com­binations, potential buyers will certainly have no shortage of choice.

But for many, a big part of the Fiat’s appeal lies in its sensational styling. Not since the launch of the MINI has a car managed to capture the magic of an original so successfully. Cute yet purposeful, the bubble-shaped body is given real road presence by the wheel-at-each-corner stance. The 500 measures 3,546mm in length, and has a wheelbase of 2,300mm, while the 1,414mm track provides a squat look which also hints at nimble handling.

Chrome detailing adds an air of quality, and even the entry-level Pop models are well finished. Lounge and Sport trims add drama, with pearlescent paint and panoramic sunroofs (see our spec panel, opposite).

Inside, the first-class safety package includes seven airbags. Front seats are comfortable, and while the rear is a bit cramped, children will easily fit in. Boot space is limited, but more than large enough for the weekly shop.

A split-fold rear seat arrangement means the versatile load area can expand to offer up to 500 litres of luggage space. We tried a base 1.2-litre Pop version first. Its new 1,242cc engine delivers 69bhp, returns 55mpg economy and emits 119g/km of CO2. The 0-60mph sprint takes 12.9 seconds, while top speed is 100mph.
Don’t let that fool you into thinking the 500 feels somehow slug­gish or unresponsive. Admittedly, the eight-valve powerplant can be a bit breath­less at high revs, but further down the range, the Fiat is a much more rewarding car to drive.

The unit is mated to a five-speed gearbox, and performance is strongest in the lower gears. From a standstill, the model is surprisingly potent, sprinting purposefully from 0-40mph. Gearchanges are slick, and the clutch feels light. Excellent forward visibility enhances the car’s city credentials, as do light steering and a tight turning circle. Comparatively small windows at the rear mean vision isn’t brilliant, but it’s still good for the class.

On the road, the Panda-derived chassis delivers precise handling and an impressively refined ride for a car that’s so short. Steering is accurate, and although it feels a little numb, it does prove responsive.

Through corners, the chassis provides masses of grip, helped by the 175/65-section tyres. Driven fast, the 500 turns in to bends sharply and will change direction readily.

Lifting off the throttle mid-corner merely tightens the line, rather than unsettling the rear. The brakes offer consistent stopping power, with discs at the front and drums at the back, and the car gets traction control as standard. Long distance cruising is cer-
tainly possible, although the 1.2-litre engine may not be the best partner.

In fact, if you are buying a 500 for use as a regular commuter vehicle, the 100bhp 1.4-litre petrol or ultra-frugal 1.3-litre Multijet will be better bets.

We tried both, with the 1.4-litre in Sport trim and the oil-burner in more upmarket Lounge specification. With a more sporting exhaust note, a six-speed gearbox and a special dash-mounted sport button, the 1.4 version offers meatier steering than the 1.2, and feels more responsive.

The spacing of the gear ratios is virtually identical, however, with sixth only a little longer than fifth in the base 500. The taller ratio means more relaxed cruising, but its bulky mechan­icals reduce steering lock and increase the car’s turning circle.

Nevertheless, the driving experience remains undiminished, and the wider 185/55-section tyres help sharpen the steering and improve the handling.

The 0-60mph time is shorter than in the smaller-capacity model – the 1.4 completes the sprint in 10.5 seconds – while top speed is 114mph. To make the most of the extra pace, this variant gets bigger, ventilated disc brakes all-round, and the traction control system is backed up by stability control.

But the extra power hasn’t ruined the car’s green credentials – the flagship returns 44.8mpg economy, while CO2 emissions are 149g/km.

However, if fuel efficiency is top of your list of priorities, look no further than the oil-burning 1.3 Multijet. We tried a top-spec Lounge version. It offers 67.3mpg on the combined cycle and open road returns of up to 90mpg, along with CO2 emissions of 111g/km.
Yet the diesel combines this great economy with stronger performance than the entry-level 500. It delivers 75bhp and 145Nm of torque through a five-speed transmission, and sprints from 0-60mph in only 12.5 seconds.

Whether it’s being driven around town or on faster A-roads, the engine is responsive. At idle, it could be more refined, but on the move, it’s muted.

As with the two petrol cars, handling is genuinely rewarding, and the 500 appears unaffected by the extra bulk of the diesel engine. Only the brakes feel a little hard pressed by this model’s performance and the weight added by its more generous standard equipment tally; they lose some of their bite when used hard.

But this is a minor criticism, and there’s no doubt that, after 50 years, the 500 is back with a vengeance. Is there a better small car on sale? After our test drive, we seriously doubt it.

First opinion
All three 500s offer appeal in subtly different areas. But which one would we put our money on? While the 500 will cost more than the Panda, Fiat has yet to announce prices for the newcomer, so it’s difficult to make a definitive call. However, the charms of the entry-level 1.2-litre model are perhaps the hardest to ignore. Fun to drive, economical and perhaps the most efficiently equipped, it’s a car that looks set to put the fun back into driving in the city.

ma 17k full optional...il prezzo di partenza penso sia + basso

se propongono un 1.4 100 cv a 15 500 , un 1.3 mj a 17 000 è fuoriluogo

un raffronto si può fare tra:

panda emotion 1.3 mj 69 cv 13 860

panda 100 hp 13 650

è vero che nn sono molto paragonabili,cmq di sicuro nn può esserci una differenza di 1500 - 2000 euro tra il 1.3 mj 75 cv e il 1.4 100cv
