500X Fiat 500x 1.0 Firefly Sport

Lovely car, great colour

Again, as seems the case with most Fiats, I think the 500x is an underrated car, the British press knock a few stars off because its not one of their preferred car companies

thanks. Don’t think it’s filtered but my phone can tend to over saturate images. Colour is fairly accurate though. Blu Italia it’s called, it really pops in different lights.

Thanks, have to agree they’re very underrated. there are lots of cheaper options to any Fiat available, but they’re just so boring and as long as you maintain your Fiat they’re pretty dependable. I can never understand some of the low ratings they get from reviewers.

It's definitely the second best colour for the Sport...

Yes. the Red they come in is lovely, i would have preferred that, but i got mine secondhand so i didn’t get to pick. everyone says they like the blue when they see the car anyway.

I almost went for that colour... my old Alfa 145 was almost (?) identical to it, but was called Francia Blue... but in the end I went for red, since it replaced a similar coloured Stilo... and the Youngest S. decided "daddy has a red car.."

I hope you don't mind.me.asking. What mileage do you get out of that engine? Town, motorway and combined if you can go that far? I'm buying one next week. Thanks in advance if you reply.

I've done 70,000km in my car over the last 2.5 years. My average is 7l/100km, which is about 40mpg. I do very mixed driving, combination of heavy traffic and open stretches on 25km motorway + 20km on rural roads each way and I put my foot down hard on the open stretches.
If I kept a little bit below the speed limits, I could get it down to about 45mpg, maybe more.
I love that 1 litre engine, even though it can bog down when off boost, once you're actually on the move it's a really surprisingly punchy little motor.
