Can a Fiat 500 ever be a blokes car??
Discussion
Drive it, it's fine. My gf has just bought a MINI, and, although it's a "woman's car" I can appreciate the little touches in and on it, and wouldn't mind driving it. It is actually nicer inside than my Passat, which by contrast is a shed. I wouldn't buy one, purely because I like owning larger cars, and my miles generally consist of laid back cruising.
I wouldn't worry about driving a 500, I can see the appeal. People who deride cars like this generally have a "complex". If you're anything like me, you'll actually enjoy having something small and nimble to throw around.

Judging by the number of times this keeps coming up there must be a lot of blokes on PH with very, very small penises.
Or a lot of blokes who actually care about their image? It's got nothing to do with dick size or feeling comfortable with one's sexuality.A Fiat 500 is a fashion item, plain and simple. It's no different to a bloke coming onto a forum and canvassing opinions on whether he would feel masculine wearing this fetching outfit or not?

Other than in an Abarth version, can the Fiat 500 ever be driven by a bloke and not look like Louie Spencer driving to a gay rights parade???
The missus wants to get one and from time to time now I find myself driving her car when she needs my A6 for horse duties. I like what the 500 stands for but cant get my head around driving one!! Someone please show me the light.............
Ha I have A6 Avant and missus has 500!The missus wants to get one and from time to time now I find myself driving her car when she needs my A6 for horse duties. I like what the 500 stands for but cant get my head around driving one!! Someone please show me the light.............
I find it great for little runs. Its just refreshing driving something different. Its not going to win any races but I love driving it even though its a bit of a squeeze. I do feel like Im sat on top of it as opposed to in it though! Ive never noticed any negative reaction, but I am incredibly powerfully built....

Of course. The key is to sticker it all up like it belongs to a young girl. That way all other road users will just assume it doesn't belong to the bloke but his daughter/sister/girlfriend.The missus wants to get one and from time to time now I find myself driving her car when she needs my A6 for horse duties.

All the people saying 'who cares what other people think' also wear their wifes/GF's underwear. And on special occasions, their clothes too.
Just sayin.
How dare you!Just sayin.
I'll have you know as a powerfully built director I have a cute young assistant who lets me wear her underwear, the wife's smalls would never suffice when attending the 500 owners club.

I guess some people are comfortable within themselves while others are still a bit unsure...Just sayin.
They do rub a bit though

My ex has a Fiat 500, in that common Magnolia with Magnolia interior flavour. Before that she had a Polo GTI (1.8T), before that a Rover 25 and before that a Micra, so a succession of what might be classed as 'girly' cars. Happy to drive all of them on my own except the 500. It's a step too far in the girly direction for me.

Also, if you add one that says 'powered by fairy dust', then the car will drive itself and you can I used to drive our old school versions, I assumed everyone thought I was eccentric, to be fair, as a car it took more of a bloke to drive it than modern, butch looking cars, no servo, no PAS, no ESP, no Air Con, no Brakes, no power, challenging handling and needed proper man skills to keep it going, I didnt mind if people got a laugh out of sixteen stone and six foot of me geting out of it, if it wasnt "cool" I dont care.
As to the modern one, I would drive that in preference to some of the aboninable SUV's you see cruising round, we nearly boiught one but got a C1 instead as the insurance is cheaper for our offspring, I think they look great either bog stock on steelies or with some alloys, in red, with a white stripe.
