Yours tend to be the findings of most of the People I know that have had a look at the 500 , the car is a Panda in a different 'suit' ,now the Panda is a decent little car but nothing special . a Friend of Mine went for a test drive in the 500 and the interior mirror fell off in his hand - not a good start , pretty car though and a nice 'retro' package BUT not a serious MINI competitor in my opinion , pricing is also crazy here in the Peoples Republic of Cork with any half decent spec you are looking at € 20000 . so I don't think the comparison of 500 vs MINI is even worthy of thought its just a totally different vehicle . btw what part of the PRC are you from ?
