Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge Glass Roof review: A mini alternative
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands...for the Fiat 500! Will it be the next big thing, like both the Volkswagen Beetle and Mini Cooper?
The Fiat 500 is available in either a 1.2-litre or 1.4-litre engine, both with auto and manual transmission. This “entry-level” 500 which we test drove here, the 1.2 Lounge trim, retails for $76,900.
Close to seventy seven grand for a car this small and simple is getting close to being too expensive – close, but not quite there. Paying this much money for a car this size won’t make much sense to the average car buyer, but to those with the want for a stylishly desirable car, then we recommend you take a close look at the 500.
There’s just an engaging honesty to the 500. Unlike say, an MPV saddled with having to pretend it’s a hot-hatch on weekends, or an SUV that has to double-up as a limousine, the 500 is left to get on with being what it was built to be – cute and fun. And it does it very well.
The 500 makes people feel good. Though it’s more of a “town car”, but sort out the expressway ride quality and it will make people feel happy and good.
