What’s refreshing about the Fiat 500 range is an Italian flair seldom found in other brands. A good example on our 500L is the curious writing that adorns the seats. Far removed from the cliché of a stitched logo in a headrest, the indented and jumbled script runs across the upholstery to pleasingly disrupt the otherwise fairly straightforward seat shapes. One small point though: on closer inspection I’ve finally worked out what the sentence says – “More colour can speak to the heart in a thousand different ways” – which is a pleasant sentiment, but clearly at odds with the very grey interior.
