 550th post: Videos++ review: Fiat 500 Classic In this blog entry, I'm reviewing the Fiat 500 Classic (Cinquecento in Italy).  This is the 550th post.  It's produced from 1957 to 1975 and measuring less than 3 metres long (2.97m), 180cm wheelbase and 499kg (0.5 tonne), it's the 1st ever City car. I still see a few units of this baby running around in Malaysia though it's getting rarer as days passed.  The value of the Fiat 500 is determined by body (eg. rust), condition (eg. engine, interior),  willing buyer and willing seller (ie, No fixed value).

Massive 600Nm of torque!  Losing out only to the "TOP OF THE RANGE" XFR 5.0 V8 Supercharged @ 620Nm (which costs exceeding RM1.1million).  I wish I can test drive the diesel and feel the G-force. Managed to took 110+ shots...  There's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words.  Without further ado, let's proceed to the photos: Above and below: Jaguar XF S Diesel.  Yours for RM499,888.  Above and below: Legroom and headroom.  I'm 5 feet 9. Above: The Gear knob selector automatically pops up and the air cond vents "rolled up" when you start the engine. END OF XF S Diesel. Max Power/torque: 275ps@4000rpm / 600Nm@2000r...
