FIAT 500 HATCHBACK
Review Review vehicle: Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge 3dr
Fiat's version of the MINI, the 500 is the most desirable little car on the road at the moment. Faithfully recalling the 50s motoring icon that motorised Italy, the modern 500 is usefully bigger and packed with equipment and safety kit. This is the 1.2-litre version with a 69bhp engine in good value Lounge specification.
What's hot
Those retro looks uniquely original, thoroughly modern
Fixed glass roof floods interior with light
Interior detailing is a delight: chrome handles, body-coloured facia
High specification: Bluetooth, steering wheel mounted controls, USB port
Along with air conditioning, alloys, leather steering wheel
Low 10% company car tax with 119g/km emissions
And 55.4mpg fuel economy
Build quality feels far superior to Fiats of memory
Wide range of appealing colours and customisation accessories
Sheer fun factor and smile-per-mile driving experience
What's not
City steering button which lightens up steering for parking...
...is just gimmicky. You'll lose all road feel
Out of its urban element, 500 is boomy on motorways
It's only a four-seater, and rear headroom is tight
Ride gets choppy on poorer surfaces
Road Test Rating Driving the Fiat 500 is a daily dose of motoring delight. The MINI might be a better drive, but the Fiat 500 captivates with its simple charm, sophisticated specification, and low running costs. The Fiat 500 is a winner from the sparkle of its detailed chrome styling to the hard-headed appeal of the 35 road tax, 10% company car tax and 55-plus mpg.
