Whilst the 500 does look like the Micra, it's a far more successful modern copy of the original 500 ;) The interior of the Micra is extremely dull and not particularly nice yet the 500 is a very very nice place to be.

Which Micra?

I always thought the original Micra was styled on the original Mini.

The main target group of 500 is men :p :

Bad tOdy

One advice, don't drive it fast cause it will roll over in no time:

Buy one of the old ones, much better than the new one, much cheaper too:

Lol ioan, that car is an Assetto Corse and the bodykit obviously grounded on the kerb. I've driven my 500 fairly quick and it hasn't rolled yet :)

Even worse, if a race prepped car rolls like that I wouldn't want to drive a normal one in anger.

And BTW there is one rolling in almost any video related to race Fiat 500s! :eek:

Ioan, a car will only roll when it hits something :) http://www.txt-drive.co.uk/blog/2010...g-lesson-true/

500 only rolled because it hit something.

I've done over 25,000 miles in a 500 so I'm fairly well qualified to say whether or not it's a Roly poly car or not ;)
