Hi,

I would normally say for it but you've caught me a 'bad hair day'.

It can certainly help of course. Personally I don't feel it's necessary, but that's just me

Unless you tend to drive like you are being chased by the Státní bezpečnost you probably don't need it.

On a dualogic - definitely yes - because of the hill holder 'function'.

A criticism that I have of the suspension on the TA is that it gets a little 'roly poly' (the 1.4 is more tidy with a more sports orientated suspension).

I would specify it if you have any juvenile tendencies. It can be fun to see the light flashing 'on and off' when you're misbehaving (of course on a deserted road with no one around).

Also the ESP cannot be turned off 'fully'. If you are being really bold it will re-engage just like a good nanny.

Think of it as 'insurance' or more correctly a safety feature.

Hi everybody ))

last 2,5 hours before ordering my new FIAT 500

and still dont know if it will be TWIN AIR or 1,4 with LPG (I will not lost warranty)

a) any opinion which on will be more economic if I will drive fast?
b) which one will be more confortable in high speed
c) which one will accelerate quicker in let say 0 to 30 and in 30 - 60.
d) does 1,4 and twin air have different suspension?
e) which one should be more reliable?

whats the main difference between twin air and 1,4???

thanks a lot for any post )))) I am really looking forward to new fiat 500 ....

and one last thing ... price will be nearly same

Most of those points will be answered by driving them - surely that's the best thing to do rather than relying on what others here say? I was pretty set on a TwinAir, but open to others - drove the TA and decided that was the one I wanted..
