So then, what car are you buying next?

Silver with a red interior would look very nice.

Out of the two, as Martin says - Silver and Red is very nice

Silver with a black interior doesn't work IMO

Estoril is a lovely colour though...

Hadn't considered that option.....hmmmmm...

The blue looks stunning in sunlight and is a real stand out colour

Nothing wrong with that - still a stand out colour.

Think it's going to be very common but I loved it from the 90's when it was an M3 colour, can't wait now for the nice weather

Well an Abarth salesmen I'd me a huge favour in making me think twice on an A500, given tha appalling dealer network and ludicrous serving costs £600 in 18k if at main dealer it's an itch I won't be scratching as a new daily

Phonecall made to dealer for test drive in one of these on weekend in r-line spec to see how the 1.2tsi compares to the 500TA

The 1.2TSi engine is a belter, had a Leon courtesy car with it in and was gob smacked when I handed the keys back and they told me it was a 1.2, very nice dive for someone looking for economy

Really??? I had a Beetle with that engine the other day and thought is was poor. It wasn't all that economical either. 42mpg over 300 miles. Perhaps that's ok for a petrol as I'm used to 60ish from my diesel. My 23 year old 16V will do as well as the Beetle if I try hard enough.
