MOT until October 2013, serviced in October 2012 with clutch replacement and 2 new front tyres.
Colour: Black Magic; 5 doors manual.
Mileage is 69800.
The insurance costs for the car is excellent, I pay £600 for the main driver being my 19 year old daughter, with my 18 year old son as a second driver.
Insurance increase was £150 which I thought was fine. I always told them that after a couple of years on a cheaper car, a more expensive one would be more affordable to insure.
They sure have moved on, more like a Golf nowadays.
The Abarth at the VW dealer today attracted more attention than their cars, quite funny )

Okay, I'll bite, what's the difference other than a few scary scorpion badges? At the end of the day it still started life as a Fiat Panda! . ( I've had one for a few years and a very honest car.)
It is not made in the same factory and only shares a few components with Fiat.
The engine is different, the body is different, the wheels etc. You can't have it serviced by Fiat either as that invalidates the warranty. Just had it serviced and had to drive an hour to my nearest dealer.
Think they are made in the same factory as the Ford Ka and Ferrari (in Poland of all places). Guess it sounds better if I drop the Ford Ka bit of course ::)

It's still a bloody fiat
Thought the polo looked tidy until I saw the wheels!!! Halfrauds covers.
As we all know though wheels have never been your thing!
