Most smiles for the money

I got a 2017 Fiat 500 Abarth. I love the car. Small saves gas and when you need it. It moves and gets up to speed.

High quality, low cost

I just bought a 2017 Fiat 500 from Braden at Maguire Chevrolet in Ithaca, NY, and love it. It's stylish, handles well, and has much more interior space than I thought it would. As far as the dealership experience, Braden was superb, the consummate professional.

Very reliable!

This car has the European feel and is fuel efficient. The Fiat 500C has a very ?Well built? feel for a small car. Good things come in small packages.

Fiat 50 Abarth is the Ultimate Commuter

Was looking for a commuter to keep miles down on our other vehicles and hope to find something reasonably priced and fuel efficient. The Abarth is an absolute blast to drive... very quick acceleration, handles like it is glued to the road, exhaust growl sounds like a beast on the prowl, and that all equals a commute that makes driving to work something to look forward to each day. It feels larger than it is from the front seats; back seats are so tight that I just leave them folded down for storage space... great car for two, and that is all I needed. MPG is commendable and is delivering in excess of 30 MPG in the city for me and over 40 MPG on the open road all while having as much fun as legally possible. What else can I say other than I look for excuses to drive this as much as possible in good weather as I do my Jeep Wrangler when Ithere is snow on the ground. Webster needs to put a photo of this in the dictionary beside the word fun!

nice economy car

I wanted a manual transmission - which was very hard to find surprisingly. This has been a good car so far. I live in the city so do not drive much really.

The perfect retro daily!

I purchased my 2017 Nero Fiat 500 pop as a replacement to my 2012 Volkswagen Beetle that was totaled Xmas eve of 2017. I was very hesitant to to look at the fiat as it was the smallest out of the cars I was looking at purchasing. I compared the fiat to another VW beetle, VW Jetta Mini Cooper, Chevy Cruze and a few other premium compacts. After driving everything I finally made it to a Fiat dealer and after 10 minutes of test driving I knew this was the car for me! It?s zippy, easy to maneuver and feels very European and solid! The economy is excellent, I?m averaging about 30-32 mpg on mixed driving as I drive a long commute that includes both highway and busy city driving. The performance I did had to get used to, it?s not gunna shove you into your seat fast but it?s very adequate for daily driving. One surprising characteristic is it?s highway manors! The car for one doesn?t feel so small behind the wheel and holds its own just fine at highway speeds. There are a few gripes that I do have, first the steering column is tilt only and doesn?t telescope, for someone like me with very long legs it?s a bit of a stretch to the wheel with my seating position. The second gripe is the base sound system in my pop had 0 bass and I ended up adding a 10? kicker powered sub and now it sounds excellent. The last gripe is the ride at times can be choppy, especially in the city or over highway expansion joints. Obviously I didn?t buy the car for hauling cargo so as far as that goes I recently went on a stay cation with some luggage and it was just fine folding one of the split folding seats down. So far I have to say I love this little car more than my Volkswagen Beetle it?s replacing.

It's just right for me

This car is a great little overall get around car. One of the drawbacks I find on this model vs a standard 500 is the turning radius.The standard and sport version vs my Abarth the turning radius is a lot shorter.But it's just the suspension the car has.
