Your A500 a daily driver or weekend fun machine?
« on: December 20, 2012, 08:43:05 pm »
Hi all,

Was just wondering whether your A500's are used as a daily driver or just at weekends for some fun?

Curious as i'm going from a large car and down to a pocket rocket and wanted to see how many people use them all the time or weekends only.

:)

Mine will be daily as don't have any other vehicle. (When i get one)

    daily but also have a zafira.  I know that's one extreme to the other but that works perfect for me. The 595 gets used loads more than the zafira and the kids love it. ;D ;D ;D

    That is true but my intension is to have it as my own :). Plus iv only started doing the driving since september and the polo is perfect for that. I did use the abarth more often when i bought it but in the last year iv had less time to enjoy it due to:
    : studying in my spare time
    : trying to juggle two jobs ( 1 i dont want to park her all day at shopping centre car park due to idiots around)
    : and using the polo as a learner car im in it most of the day
    : and weather being rubbish :(.

    But i hope to go and enjoy her again in the new year :) .Deffinetly wouldnt want to get rid of her :).
    Now with added monza fun :P
