Done 14000 hard miles in it over 12 months from new. Certainly been a little beast, gets a lot of attention, sometimes too much. Not many about up my way, only 1 other in the area. Just had it serviced so its running better then ever.

Looking forward, unsure what to replace it with. Audi a1 sline (but my lasses mother just bought one after she showed her a pic of one). Going to have a look about and see whats coming out in the next year

Has to be:

Small(ish)
Quite special/not many about
Not fussed on convertible or not as already got one
Mpg not fussed really
Comfyish, leather etc as will be doing 12-15k a year
Price not too fussed, 25k ish maybe, depending on what it is
My lass wants a new car, but id buy a year old one

A500c essess is an option but a lot of cash for basically the same car minus a bit of tin roof. And all of them are auto boxes at the moment

Cheers!

You've seriously bought a brand new car, run it for a year and you're gonna sell it and buy another brand new/nearly new car?

How much money have you lost in depreciation on the 500?

Loads of Minis about but not JCWs. Same with Fiat 500s, load of them about but not the Abarth.

If I was you, i'd be tempted to hold onto the 500 for another year/18 months and get the Fiesta RS Ford are bound to produce...

My sister has a brand new A1 Sline in that dark grey colour, looks lovely and very well spec'd interior. I would maybe wait until they bring out a faster model and go for that.

I'd buy this: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2826910.htm

Okay its 8 years old, but it'd probably feel like new.

Or if you really do want (nearly)new, then: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3048165.htm
