Signing up because I need to ask a few questions, I hope that's ok?

I'm completely new to the brand having owned Fords for the last 8 years. Trouble is their new models don't really excite me so I'm looking for something different!

Anyway, I'll post some questions in the appropriate forum, but if anyone has switched from Ford before, please reassure me

Thanks

Welcome along Benny. Everyone here seems helpful so feel free to start asking some questions.

I'm sure you'll find Fiat comparable with Fords and I'm sure you'll agree the 500x is MUCH better than the Ford Ecosport!!

yes 500x is much better than ford ecosport.. But before you buy don't get 500x which built before may 2015 and get diesel one.i have 1.4 petrol which i owned since 1st june had lots of problems and really poor mpg first 5000 miles.because of several problems dealer swapped my car with brand new 500x diesel one + it has some free extras like tinted glass(£175)+comfort plus pack(£100) and more thing it came same price with what i pay to petrol one.

I've got the 500x 1.4 petrol....loving it,fast ,handles well and looks good in red. Only has good reactions from friends and family etc who never thought a Fiat would be so good.

So is everything alright with your new one then? Is the diesell a lot better than the petrol one?
