Fiat 500

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A lot of fun (relatively) for not a lot of money.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very reasonable running and servicing. Best serviced in the backstreet rather than the main dealer to get best value.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fun, but only if you can stand the lack of creature comforts.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No rocket. Acceptable performance, but the engine needs to be worked hard to deliver its best.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0
