OK I will jump in here: I had a Fiat 500 a great car but it was flaky overall in terms of trim, annoying bits and bobs not working. The interesting thing for me is the relative positions of MG Motor UK and Fiat in the satisfaction surveys. One is higher by a considerable margin.

My MG3 came with a squeak. In one trip to the dealer it was fixed and they could not have been more helpful. The 500 (a more expensive car) went back on numerous occasions for little fixes and in most cases I did not even get a coffee and in many cases 'no fault was found'

The three handles far better and has a very low insurance group. The NCAP data is not as good it is true and if this is a major concern then this could override the issue.

I have just been to Ireland to collect my 90 year old mum in law and all her stuff with Mrs W and my tall 14 year old daughter. And it was not at all a problem for space, speed, stuff or anything despite the footprint of the car being quite small. I have been massively impressed with the 3 and would recommend it totally. Its been a huge and pleasant surprise!
