just got through driving the sport version and it was pretty good. the driving position was more comfortable for my 6'2" frame that either the corolla or fit and had a softer feel to the interior. the sport is , sporty ,with painted brakes,ground effect panals and bigger wheels. it handled so cal freeways, and it's big trucks ,with no problem and with 4 adults aboard it got around just fine. really, go drive one.
Amazing little car

Being priced about 8K less than their Mini competition, this car proves an excellent value and backs it up with MPG and driving pleasure. It is quite literally impossible to be sad in this car. With a manual around the city it's the perfect car! Fun to drive, and as long as you're not afraid to rev the engine, it's peppy too. Great interior style is combined with very surprising space. My head hits in the back (6'0"), but the leg room is amazing for what it is. Although a bit bouncy on some streets, the composed ride is just right for a fun, "sporty" ride.

2012 Fiat 500 Sport is doing great

The car is good. Don't trust the nay sayers. Test drive it yourself. That being said, You should know that the center arm rest is ridiculously weak and should be removed before you break it. You should know how to drive it. The 5sp manual transmission in regular mode or sport mode is smooth. To make this car go you have to up the revs to 5700 rpm or 6000 rpm in lower gears to get running up to speed on the highway. However, the MPG is a little disappointing. I haven't seen 40mpg, but I ride it hard. Tall people can drive this car but tall people in the back is tough.

First off, I haven't driven this car, but I've seen it at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. I absolutely love the styling of this car! When spending time in it at the auto show I first realized how comfortable this car was. I am looking for a car that is affordable, stylish, and good on gas mileage. I can't wait to be able to drive the car and see how it performs. When checking the car over I could just tell that it was built with fine craftmenship and the materials used are like a luxury car's materials. People should defently consider this before buying any competetive car.
Poor service, good car

While the electric car is great, we broke a windshield badly. The car hasn't been drivable for 6 months and we are expected to pay our lease. Not very customer friendly. Things still aren't resolved so we still don't have a car and Fiat doesn't give a darn.
