Fiat 500

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Like many others, it was a good value car when I bought it new, but I have paid out quite a lot to keep it running in the last 9 years.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Filling up the tank with go-go juice is fairly economical and insurance is good value.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Has always driven and handled well, no matter where I've driven it. I just love this car! It's still going strong at 107,000 miles!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Sometimes you wish there was a bit more power, but knock down into 3rd for overtaking and it whips past.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally very reliable, but good to have a husband that can tinker a bit.

    Top teddy. More of a girly car though, but it always makes me smile to see a Cinq coming the other way.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No complaints there. Comfy seats that hold you in.

    1 out of 5 1.0

    My family have bought 4 Fiats from the same dealer. Have to say they were generally terrible with each sale. Couldn't really care attitude.
