Can anyone recommend a good unit, that works reliably with Blue & Me? There seem to be a lot of negative comments in the forums about some of the Sat Navs offered.

If we ignore low-volume specials and concentrate on mass-production models sold by mainstream manufacturers on the UK market, the most recent example I've been able to come up with - after much discussion with more knowledgeable colleagues - is the 652cc unit in the 1980s Citroen LNA. Fiat's decision to develop such an engine for the 500 is therefore exceptional, though it does tie in nicely with the fact that the original 500, launched in 1957 and the spiritual if not technical inspiration for the current car, was also a two-cylinder. The 875cc TwinAir unit has nothing, however, to do with nostalgia. The idea behind it is to combine reasonably high performance with excellent fuel economy and CO2 emissions (on the EU test, anyway) using Fiat's fiendishly clever MultiAir technology, and that certainly seems to have worked. In the first form in which it is being released to the public, the TwinAir develops a maximum of 85bhp, thanks partly to the fact that it's turbocharged, and has a top speed of 108mph and a 0-62mph time of 11.0 seconds. That's pretty good going, but look at the "green" figures. These depend on which transmission you go for, but with the standard five-speed manual the TwinAir manages 68.9mpg combined and 95g/km. That's better than the (slower) 1.2 petrol four-cylinder 500 can achieve, and it also means that the TwinAir is exempt from annual Vehicle Excise Duty and - from January 2011 - the London congestion charge. The news is even better if you opt for the semi-automatic Dualogic gearbox, though I wasn't impressed with this when it made its debut in the Abarth 500C. For the record, though, its economy and CO2 figures are 70.6mpg and 92g/km respectively. All of this suggests that, if you're going to buy a Fiat 500, the TwinAir is a very sensible choice, but I'd like to cast aside these sober reflections for a moment and say that it is also fantastically good fun. It sounds quite unlike anything else on the road, muttering away to itself at tickover, speaking softly enough in city traffic and, when asked to perform to its fullest extent, giving off a bellow which, though you could hardly call it subtle, is so splendid that you want to hear it again and again. Or at least I did. Although this sound perhaps makes the TwinAir feel quicker than it really is, there's no doubt that it performs well. Nothing much to speak of happens below 2500rpm, but at higher engine speeds it accelerates strongly, and as a colleague demonstrated while I was in the passenger seat it can make easy work of a steep hill on a dual-carriageway without having to be taken anywhere near maximum revs. Another TwinAir, to be launched later, will be sturdier yet. That one has an output of 105bhp, and if you want to talk proportionally that makes it more powerful for its size than an Audi R8 or a Jaguar XKR. Clearly, it won't be remotely as quick as either, but it's going to be a lot of fun. There will also be a non-turbo TwinAir which produces 65bhp - that one will be cheaper, and of course more economical still. The 85bhp version is available in all trim levels and special editions, namely Pop, Sport, Lounge, Blackjack and ByDiesel, at prices ranging from £10,665 to £13,365. There are also Pop, Lounge and ByDiesel versions of the 500C convertible, costing between £13,665 and £16,065 (I don't think I'd want to pay an extra £3000 for the extra body shake and the occasional opportunity to have the breeze ruffling my hair, but I've never been much of a convertible enthusiast). These prices include VAT at the current rate of 17.5%, so be prepared for new prices between about £10,900 and £16,400 when the rate rises to 20% at the beginning of 2011. And, while we're clarifying things, don't be confused by the ByDiesel name, which refers to the design company, not the fuel. All TwinAirs run on petrol. The 500 is dominated by its styling, and if you're a fan it's easy to forget that it has its faults. The visibility is terrible, the boot is tiny by comparison with that of almost every other hatchback apart from the MINI, and Fiat's habit of forcing the driver to delve deep into the trip computer simply to switch the sidelights on and off is simply barmy. But for all that, I like the 500, and if I were going to buy one I would definitely make it a TwinAir.

Advantages: GOT ME FROM A TO B - SOMETIMES!!Disadvantages: EVERYTHING INCLUDING GUILT! My first car was an m reg rover metro. We had a love hate relationship with more emphasis on the hate really! It was a brief encounter, lasting only three months. She finally died after I went over a speed bump rather too hastily. I didn't ever give her a name, think it was out of spite really. She was always breaking down on me, usually in heavy traffic or at the most inconvenient time possible! Reminds me of the scene in Fawlty Towers when John ......DAMN GOOD THRASHING'. Looked like he could of had a similar relationship, but I didn't use violence on such a barbaric scale, it was more of a battle of wits between the two of us to gain that all important power dynamic. Looking back we were both quite handy at dishing out the silent treatment. There were quite a few blemishes on her body work already when I bought her. I lovingly patched her up. Inside she looked a bit worn out. I put on new leather ... paulyvous 14.07.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Fiat Cinquecento 0.9 Road HandlingComfortFeaturesLooks Fiat Cinquecento 1.1i Sporting Advantages: fun to drive, ecomonical, reliability.Disadvantages: prone to head gaskets going if not properly maintained, no power steering I LOVE this car, even though I am lucky enough to be able to drive several this is certainly one of my favourites. Its easy to drive, loads of cabin space (I have 4 children and they all fit in comfortably and belted up correctly as with the new laws). Its very responsive and as mine is the sporting version(1.1i) it will amble on the motorway quite happily at 70mph with enough left in reserve for overtaking. The fuel consumption is excellent (£20 ......over 300miles till next fill up!. There is no power steering on this model and it can be difficult in tight situations. Electric windows are standard on the sporting along with a sunroof and alloy wheels. The bootspace is a little small but the back seats fold down if needed. The back windows open too allowing ventilation in hot weather. The head gaskets are prone to go on the car but if you keep up to the maintainence and servicing you should be ... firebladegal 10.09.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Fiat Cinquecento 1.1 Road HandlingComfortFeaturesLooks Ideal first car Advantages: Cheap to run, easy to park, reliableDisadvantages: Too small?, Probably needs more power for motorway use The Fiat Cinquecento is my first ever car. Although now on its last legs it's has worked out as tremendous value for money buying it for £400 4 years ago. In this time we have had few mechanical issues and it has been into the garage only 6 or 7 times. To drive the Cinq is adequate. I would say ideal for a new driver. The small engine means that speeding is almost impossible but does make motorway driving difficult. It is, however, not such a large ......light and can reach speeds of up to 90mph. Power steering is not missed as the car is so small but manouvres such as a 3 point turn can be hard work! The size of the car also makes it ideal for city driving, especially when it comes to parking in tight spaces! Lookswise the Cinq is pretty standard. The car is, in my opinion. a nice shape but for me personally it is a little on the small side (I'm 6'4"!). Having said that inside the car is very spacious. ...

I also never understood why Fiat did not fit a glovebox to this car-this means any valuables are on full public display, although the boot is so small this could double ... princekieran79 15.01.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Fiat Cinquecento 0.9 Road HandlingComfortFeaturesLooks Cinquecento still awesome after all these years. Advantages: Cost, economy, fun to drive, sizeDisadvantages: Wouldn't get near 1 EuroNCAP star Don't agree with the vast majority of colchedders review. I've got one and although not quick, it'll still do 0-60 in around the 15 second mark, and I ALWAYS travel at 80mph on motorways and dual carriageways - in fifth. It even stays in fifth at 80mph going up the hills - no problem whatsoever. Granted if you want to cruise permanently at more than 80 then don't get the 0.9, but what do you expect from a tiny 50mpg motor (Yes even at 80mph). Although ......off the clock which reads up to about 105mph, in reality it was probably doing around 95mph max, (and I certainly wouldn't advise anyone attempting this unless they know what they're doing as it was slightly unstable at those speeds) but to claim that it's horrendously slow is an over exaggeration. I've done a lot of mileage in the past year and a half and not once have I had any mechanical problems, and the only thing that could be slightly annoying ...
