Fiat 500
Little 500’s a big winner
New 500 wins 2008 European Car Of The Year.

21st November 2007


Fiat’s new 500 supermini has been voted the 2008 European Car Of The Year.

The combination of retro looks, a gorgeous interior and low prices – from £7,900 in the UK – won the hearts of the 58 judges, who awarded it 385 points. The second-placed Mazda 2 supermini claimed 325 marks. It’s the 13th time a Fiat Group model has won in the award’s 44-year history.

In third place was the latest Ford Mondeo, on 202 points. It was followed by the Kia Cee’d (166), Nissan Qashqai (147), Mercedes C-Class (128) and Peugeot 308 (97)

Good for a run around. Cheap and kinda cute.

Have to say I like it - and when the Aygo dies (sometime in 2033) I might get one.

The aygo is pretty too (if it was an iron)

FFS, are these people idiots? The Passat is not even on the podium...

The fiat Strada was car of the year and IIRC the Fiat Regatta

Does the Fiat qualify for £35 tax?
And possibly no congestion or parking charges if Ken has his way?
If not what's the point?

sasguru, during a recent test drive of the Fiat 500, the driver was able to drive and peel an orange in his pocket at the same time, so it might be the perfect car for you.
