My wife's 500 L reached it's tenth birthday yesterday, with 98 000 on the clock.

Marvellous car, that is grandma's bus, a truck, family car.

We've got the two cylinder turbo version.

Happy around town and doing 90 on the motorway.

We get 43-47mpg dependant on where we've been.

It has had a dodgy clutch and front suspension, but over the years we've had it, it has paid its way.

Oops

70 on the motorway.

90 would loosen all the nuts and bolts!
