I failed to mention the clutch and gearbox. Ooops! These can be an issue if mistreated. Tail tail signs include a whining sound when driving off in 1st-2nd gear. If the noise gets better when you depress the clutch, then it's likely it needs a new clutch.

As someone who has owned both a 1.2 and a Twinair, I'd say don't discount the Twinair!

As long as it's been serviced at the correct intervals using the correct oils etc you have nothing to fear!

The 875cc 2 cylinder Twinair actually produces way more power and torque than the 1.2
It will be cheaper to service, more economical to run.

The quirky nature of the Twinair is a more authentic match to what the 500 is all about and it's heritage, the original concept was always based on a small low capacity cheap to run engine and the noise it makes always puts a smile on my face! 😊

Mine has lost a few exhaust clamps and suffers with losing gearbox oil, I’m needing another gearbox again 😭

I think that you ARE an expert when it comes to the Fiat 500. I find your videos hugely helpful and have been a source of comfort and reassurance as I see you battle with some of the issues I face with my 500 Lounge. I have the dreaded hatch wiring loom issue, and also the water sloshing in the scuttle area, which you've now shown how to check and resolve.

I love this Alex, I’m like yep I’ve had 3 door handles replaced, I’ve got broken vents inside 🙈😂

Great video, but I think you forgot the most comon problem there is.... the passenger airbag bump in the dashboard. Almost every Fiat 500 had it, and fix it it´s not easy at all.

Note that 'steering wheel slightly left or right' is due to laziness when setting the tracking. They didn't put the steering wheel straight. Now, this could lead to you having a better turning circle to the left or the right, and also rubbing when on full lock. Have it fixed. They should put the steering wheel straight first, and THEN set the tracking. Lots of problems on these (and on the Panda as well) come from 'dirty deeds done dirt cheap'. Also, the Twin-Air turbo is brilliant, the normal Twin Air not so much. The 1.4 tends to slobber fuel, and the diesel is fast as a 1.4 but very very economical.

I’m on my third Fiat 500 as I love them so much a silver diesel then second a white 500 lounge ….I’ve now got a red 2014 lounge Fiat 500 around three years ago….I loved the colour until you mentioned about the red ones also recently my mileage is flashing and the Bluetooth needs repairing but at the moment I’ve bought a Bluetooth that fits in the cigarette lighter port but now I’m wanting to change my car for a different colour. 😫😫😫

Really enjoyed this video. I’m currently looking for an auto transmission model for my wife… any observations will be welcome! Thanks…

It's a very complete review! What is the threshold mileage for when these engines start using oil? For instance, my 2012 Volvo S60 T4 with the B4164T engine (Ford Europe Sigma) with 130, 000 Km is using 1 liter per 1, 000 kilometers.

Hi Alex, my daughter has just got a fiat 500 twinair 2011 model lounge. How does she change her language from Italian to English please. We have gone through the process on google & YouTube. It doesn’t seem to set to English. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Davey 👍

What milage would you say is ideal to buy for 2011=2013? I am looking at 1.2 lounge with 80k milage purple colour would you say its good milage?

[heidilewis]

If you took the Bluetooth module out altogether is there a way to stop the mileage flashing? Thanks

Soon we start our 50000km European tour in a 53 year old Fiat 500R. Check it out!

That Blue and Me thing what a scam that was by Fiat they should never have had it put in such a stupid place, the module should have been in the boot behind a removeable plastic panel not behind the whole rear frame of the passenger side lol I've just left mine as is, my mechanic said not to worry as it would take probably a week to drain the battery flat so as long as i daily drive it i should be putting enough charge back into the battery me hopes lol

JUST BUY A CITROEN C1 100X BETTER 😂 SERIOUSLY
