2013 FIAT 500C consumer reviews

I've had my 2013 Fiat 500C (cabrio/convertible) for about three years. If you love small, nimble, quick European cars and you love convertibles, this car is fantastic. So much fun to drive. The only real criticism I have is that the driving position is not ideal, but I got used to it (I'm 6'3"). Four adults can squeeze into this car, which is amazing (which is the legacy of the Fiat 500 - a tiny, fun, sporty family car). Finding parking in the city is easy with this car - it's about a foot shorter than a Mini Cooper. I've put only 30K miles on mine but so far the car has had no problems. The beauty of the convertible top in the 500 is that you can open and close it while you are driving (up to about 50 mph). Can you do that with a Porsche Targa?! The cars.com reviewer, although a Fiat lover, did not understand the virtues of this car. Alex on Autos, on YouTube, does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClZTM75qWjY If you love driving a clutch, this car is amazing -- the clutch, engine and transmission are all a dream. The car has no torque under 2500 RPM but does fine at 3000 RPM and over. I put sport wheels and tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 3 A/S) on my car and it handles like a dream. If you are comfortable driving at high revs and downshifting to accelerate, love convertibles, and appreciate the usable back seat and outstanding urban parkability, this car can't be beat, especially at this price.

I bought this Fiat brand new and it was an emotional purchase because I’d always wanted a convertible. This little car gave me the convertible experience but I still felt safe driving it because it’s really a cabriolet, which means it has more solid structure than a traditional convertible. It’s been phenomenal on gas and is super easy to drive (and park!). This spunky ride fits in the teeniest of spots! It’s comfortable for the driver and a single passenger but I wouldn’t put anyone in the back because let’s face it, this is really a 2-seater!

Loved this car especially in the city. Easy to find parking and will not get stuck in traffic. Great for long trips 1/2 tank for approximately 180 miles not bad at all. Family grew and had to say good bye

I’ve owned 4 cars total, all manual, and the 500c Abarth is the most fun I’ve had. More reliable than my VW beetle, more economical than my RX-8, and more fun than the Cobalt.

This Fiat 500C Lounge Convertible, has an amazing turn radius, great pick-up, and is a fun sporty car to drive. Its perfect for the city, cause it fits in parking spaces that other cars are too big to fit into. If you are stuck in traffic, all you need to do to relax is put the convertible top down and turn the music up. Enjoy the drive no matter where you go.

I love to drive my fiat through the back roads where I live the view includes lots of cows, horses, even donkeys sometimes!! The reason I love it the most is because the frame of this car is so safe even as a convertible and my hair doesn?t get ruined like you do in most convertibles!!

This is one of the BEST cars I ever owned and with its Factory Gucci Covertible Roof along with Interior, Rims to match it?s definitely a conversation piece..I get Stopped, Honked and Waved at repeatedly w/showering compliments it?s a joy to own..

We have driven the FIAT 500 Gucci model for 5 years & 100,000 miles. The only items the car has needed were routine maintenance. The vehicle has been extremely reliable & the MPG average is over 40.

This is a fun vehicle to drive. It's small, so I can park it anywhere. Gets really good gas mileage. Has leather seats, convertible top, beats speakers in the trunk that sound way better than I expected. Includes sport mode. Fully functional safety features.

This car is perfect if you live in a city with minimal parking. It gets great gas mileage and when you're stuck in traffic on a sunny day you can just put the roof down. I have owned other small cars in the past but I always felt super claustrophobic in them. This little guy surprisingly has more space than you would imagine. It's a great car if you carpool with another person.
