Funny! The last Fiat 500 i test drove had way more power then my AT Fit!!

Marko!!

 

I sat in the 2013 Abarth they had at the LA Auto show this past weekend... very hot little car, seats felt great and the styling inside and out was nice. This and the Veloster turbo are making me want a new car soon...

 

i will need to check out this fiat 500 someday. :D ive only seen a handful of them driven around my area.

 

I'd be interested to drive one, just out of curiosity. It doesn't look very sporty inside - it seems like it would be way too upright and trucklike inside - really tallish and tippy looking. The Mini was a surprise - low seats, tons of legroom, but the 2+2 setup wouldn't be too useful.

 

I dunno, J-Lo looks sexy in hers...when it's actually her..lol!

Basically, this vehicle has stuggled at some point though this is also counted as one of the major masterpieces the auto maker has designed..and as far as the exterior is concern, this is actually classy and sporty. On the other hand, there is no problem when it comes to maintenance since there are now Fiat parts for replacement available especially on the online community.

 

The Dodge Dealer in Binghamton is now selling the Fiat 500, and I've been checking them out very closely. I really like the size and styling (I've always been nuts about small cars). It's actually much roomier in the driver's seat than a Mini Cooper and fits me well.

I'm still leery of the fact that it's a Fiat, and made in Toluca, Mexico. Not the most confidence inspiring combination IMO. Also, as long as I am a gigging musician, and need to schlep guitars and amps around, it's a bit too small to live with. I'd miss the carrying capacity and flexibility of the Fit.
