Really fun to drive. Excellent on gas.

Really fun to drive. Car is very good on gas and easy to drive. The interior is a little out dated but it doesn?t change my overall view of the car. Will buy another in the future.

The least reliable I?ve ever owned

If you want to have a reliable car DO NOT BUY A FIAT 500 I?ve had mine just 3yrs 28,000 miles and both the flywheel and clutch have failed two weeks out of warranty means Fiat have washed their hands of it. I?ve been driving for 40 years and never have had a clutch fail so don?t say it?s the the way I drive.

Fun, Comfy, and Stylish

I found the Fiat 500 surprisingly comfortable and fun to drive. I am not planning to subject too many full size adults to the back seat, but the front seats are really nice. It came lots of great features like Bluetooth and turbo at a good price.

Fun to drive!

Love my Fiat and it's been a great commuter car for me. Love the styling and drive. My only negative is I wish it had a center console (yes, I realize it would be very small) as there is just not enough storage handy to the driver in the car. When stuck in traffic and you need your chapstick, a tissue, etc. it doesn't serve you well to be trying to reach over to the glove compartment to find it. Other than that, this has been a great little fun car that gets great gas mileage.

Great car, Lacks tech

My Fiat 500 Abarth lacks technology. the center console might be the worst I've ever seen, the Blue & Me system (bluetooth connectivity) has the worst interface I've ever used in a car. But other than that the car is a perfect car to be daily driven for those that want a small, nimble, and fast car.

A comfortable Stylish City Car

The car met my needs, it looks good and has fabulous retro-chic design. It was reliable and performs well around town. I even drove it in a road trip across the southwest and it did great. The performance isn't out of this world, but it can be a sporty enough driver.

great run around car

Bought this car to run around town and still get good fuel economy. It's quite comfortable for it's size, and cargo capacity is outstanding for such a small car, and the fuel economy always exceeds 30+ mpg, plus it's fun to drive

Small and efficient

I?ve always driven SUVs and the fiat suits me and my lifestyle perfectly. I drive 500 miles a week and couldn?t imagine a better car for parking and the distances.
