| fiat 500 vs Cooper
Hi,
Today I went to the Fiat dealer. I was intending to doa test drive because I found the little thinsg so cute. I sat in the car for 5 minutes and changed my mine.Whe you are buying such a car then you should really feel contectand happy with your interior space.The dashboard itself looked cool until I touched the plastics in the cabin.They were very hard and felt very cheap. The dashboard in my mini is in a differnt league. The seats were not as comfortable and I think this was how Fiat saved money. The quality of the interior I am sorry to say was just not there. I was a bit disappoined as I was really thinking about it as a replacement for my 2006 Mini Checkmate. I left feeling that the mini cooper even if not faster than Fiat and more expensive is the better car. A car is more than the sum of its parts. Hence the mini is better for normal use.
My mini Checkmate has been a shining beacon for reliability and fun
