"The Fiat 500 is a retro-styled city car with good looks and a variety of personalization options, which is recommended simple - as long as you're willing to make some sacrifices when it comes to practicality. "
the Fiat 500 is a three-door city car - like the Volkswagen beetle and MINI hatchback - a nostalgic charm, thanks to its retro styling and nice looks evokes. Despite looking like the Fiat 500 of the fifties, it's every inch a modern car that competes with conventionally designed models such as the Renault Twingo, Skoda Citigo, Volkswagen up! and SEAT Mii and the Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108
The 500 is so successful that the range of the Fiat 500L MPV and Fiat 500X crossover comprise has grown, for those who are a by retro charm with bit of extra functionality. There is also the Fiat 500C convertible, the thrills, thanks to its folding fabric roof open air. We have checked all these cars separately.
It is noteworthy that a brand new Fiat 500 is expected in 2017, although the current model has received a mid-life facelift in 2015 that left his unmistakable appearance largely unchanged, but an updated interior brought and range of trim levels a little easier.

even if it only has three ~~ POS = TRUNC, the Fiat 500 is - unlike some city cars - available as diesel and gasoline. You can also choose an automatic stay, should you wish. The 500 is available with three engines: two petrol and diesel. The cheapest is the 1.2-liter 69bhp petrol from 0-62mph in 12.9 seconds gets 500, returns 60.1mpg and costs £ 20 per year in road tax.
While these numbers are quite impressive, the 1.2 -litre engine feels a little dated compared to the 500 of bubbly two ~~ POS = TRUNC 875cc TwinAir turbocharged petrol engine, the good, the car fits character. It is available with either 84 or 104bhp and both versions are of the motor vehicle tax thanks to its low CO2 emissions. The 84bhp gets the 500 from 0-62mph in 11 seconds while the 104bhp is slightly faster, with 0-62mph in 10 seconds.
The TwinAir engines are more economical on paper than the 1.2-liter, 84bhp 67.3mpg with the return of 74.3 and the 104bhp administration. You have worked too hard to make progress, though, so these numbers are difficult to adapt to the real world driving conditions. The 1.3-liter 95bhp diesel engine, the Fiat 500 will get from 0-62mph in 10.7 seconds, with an impressive economy 83.1mpg return; it is also free from the vehicle tax.

the natural habitat of the Fiat 500 is a city where its small size, good visibility and light steering it pleasant to drive and easy to park. There is also a 'Steering City' mode, which also facilitates further by lightening the steering maneuver. While few buy a remote with cruising in mind, the Fiat 500 is not completely out of his depth on the highway, although the diesel engine performs as the gasolines at speed to better results.
The interior of the 500 echoes retro exterior thanks to its body-colored dashboard, while it is just about room for four adults - but when three ~~ POS = TRUNC only for car, access to the back is a hassle for more passengers; it is strictly a four-seater and with only two straps in the back. The 185-liter boot is commodious no means, but only about 25 liters less than the MINI hatchback of; it would have been nice rather on all 500s Split-folding rear seats as standard, to see than just the higher trim levels, although
a 500 Specifying is a simple matter. There are three orders of the rich entry-level Pop by Pop Star and on the top-of-the-range model Lounge. Pop-cars are just with the 1.2-liter petrol engine is available and are quite sparce. You get LED lights, electric front windows, USB port and remote control, but little else is running in the way of creature comforts.
We believe that it is worth 00 trim spending £ more for Pop Star, which adds alloy wheels, air conditioning, color-keyed door mirrors and split-folding rear seats. Top-spec lounge cars get a five-inch touchscreen infotainment system (a £ 250 option on smaller models) with Bluetooth connectivity, chrome trim details, a panoramic sunroof and rear parking sensors.
reliability and security are a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, when the Fiat 500 has been crash tested back in 07, it achieved NCAP five stars from Euro. Since then, however, the criteria have been hardened so that the five-star results obtained by more modern cars, provide a higher level of security. Nevertheless, all 500s come with multiple airbags and electronic security systems, so you should be be well cared for. Fiat last place in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey of the manufacturer table corresponds to a drop of eight places compared to last year, and is a far greater cause for concern.
