How does a fiat 500 compare to a mini?

Does a fiat 500 have as much appeal as the mini, in size, power?

Do chicks dig fiat 500's?

Would you drive a fiat 500?

Some formula 1 drivers own the 500.

How rare are the parts? Can you still order them like the mini?

i really like the look of the new fiat 500
comparing, mini-MINI and fiat 500-the new one , they did alot better staying true to the orginal design
and they gained popularity recently after the movie cars

p.s one more thing...
i dont think any car could beat its cuteness factor
and although i want one, it dosent mean i want to be seen in one

I own 2 minis, and I am looking to add anotrher micro car to my collection. Thinking about sticking with cars with 4 wheels, not a 3 wheeled bubble car.

The Fiat 500 came about because of the Mini.

You can still get tuning parts, things like cranks, pistons, turbos, bodykits, but they are expensive.

And no i wouldnt want one.

a fiat 500 is good but how many rally's and races did it win ?

[smudger]

LOL

Thats my stock answer to most questions.

Ford Escort Mk1 = So how many Monte's did it win?

Ford Escort Mk2 = Worlds greatest "Classic" Rally car? Really? How many Track Records does it hold?

BMW Mini = Its an evolution of the Mini? Really? So why is it so C**p at Rally and Race then?

As for the Fiat 500, well they just didnt keep up with the development of it. And to short. Thats why when doing high speed you put a "Whale Tail" on em.

I used to have a fiat pandora 900e campervan and hence, learned about how to get tuning parts for rare fiats, like the 500, parts are readily available, there's a company called Ricambio.co.uk, they got me anything i wanted, and it's not silly prices either... they specialise in fiat 500's and all the other fiats that are no longer everywhere lol.

I love the 500, iv'e seen a few with bike engines in, and they would probably beat a mini round the track.

The Abarth version was pure 80's sex too!

I hope to own a 500 one day when i have the garage space..

[mini93]
