Would you buy a Fiat 500 for its mpg and CO2s or its safety, style and performance?

There are many elements to a car. Motorists worry about fuel consumption. Manufacturers and governments are concerned about safety and the cars impact on the environment.

However motorist can now choose a car on less practical issues. Safety and CO2s are now or will be covered by legislation and makers agreements.

It also seems fuel costs shouldn't be a worry. Ive just updated figures for fuel consumption on my Fiat 500 comparison page. When you compare it with other cars in its class there's no huge difference in fuel costs.

Incidentally, durability and reliability are no longer a concern with new cars.

So, if a car buyer decides a small city car has all the versatility they need; what's there to decide on? If a car is safe, environmentally friendly, durable, reliable, and economical; what else is there?

Well, there's performance, comfort, and style. Kinda puts the fun back into buying a car, doesn't it?
