everything you could want if you are looking for a small car..peppy ,( it was a must for me) cute , great interior colors . My only complaint so far is there is hardly any room to put the key in the ignition to start the car.

Pity the 1%! Loving our 500C

Everything to love, nothing not to like-- one button retracting top (up to 50 mph)-- spunky turbo, vanilla leather inside, fun quotient: off the chart. Feels and drives much bigger than it looks. When we replaced our problematic aging A4 as 2nd car, my wife (the emotional buyer) and I (more practical) settled on the 500C going Italian all the way and haven't looked back. Frequently we opt for the 500C vs. our Stelvio. It is the PERFECT 2nd car as I approach retirement and an inexpensive thrill. In a way, we flip the bird at the consumer culture and are really enjoying the ride. While there are a few compromises (trunk space the biggest), like so much of life and fine art, our 500C is perfect in its imperfection. When the 500E comes, we plan too trade 'up' as we will be fully retired at that point in time.

Abarth "Not a Fun Car to Drive? Must be crazy
VELGE, 07/25/2023
2019 FIAT 500 Abarth 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Ive owned a BMW 530I, BMW 325ci, Infiniti J35, Infiniti FX35, Acura integra, and Honda Civic in my glorious life. None of these cars are as fun as the ABARTH sitting in the parking lot at work right now. Maybe the guy who wrote the review needs a automatic that costs 70k to consider things "fun" Perhaps he has peer pressure to make him a hater? Perhaps he just dumped a whole bunch of money into a civic and he needs to feel his money went to the right place. All I have to say is that hes dead wrong! Just the cars face=fun If Mario brother could own a car in real life it would be an Abarth=Fun The Turbo has a slight lag so it feels like turbo boost of how you imagined it as a kid would be=fun The Turbo gauge in itself=fun The metal racing pedals including the tight racing clutch ....Yup again... Fun! The regular fiat shifter=not fun its a long shift. not good. The Abarth shifter is short and tight=Fun Your wife hates it and cant drive clutch.= FUUUNN! The cars sports suspension bounces you around like a BB in a beer can= Fun If you like driving a car fast around sharp turns on a mountainside like your riding on the scrambler at the county fair Abarth is it= FUN The racing seats feel good and keep you feeling safe=FUN It feels like your going warp 10 when your only going 60=fun If your idea of being 12 years old again riding a minibike in your bathingsuit in the summer rain is fun, then this is for you.

Fun little bambino

2017 FIAT 500 Abarth 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

The 500 Abarth is a cool little car. Starting it up always makes me smile. It sounds like exactly what it is, a fun-to-drive toy. Gas mileage is good, and the front seats are fairly comfortable. It's not as quiet and composed and 'grown up' as a Miata or other more-expensive 2-seater, but it is a hoot to drive. Switchgear is plain at best, 'crude' if you want to call it that, compared to a Toyota or Kia, but it works. FIAT has a reputation for poor quality, but there are thousands of these motors out there with 100k miles and few problems. Seating position is comfortable, upright but still close to the ground. Ingress and egress are easy. The leather seats feel great. The driver's side mirror has a second small pane to extend your vision and helps cover your blind spot. Steering wheel is very good. Climate control is good; the cabin is small and cools or warms quickly. Infotainment is so-so, but that doesn't worry me too much because I enjoy hearing that motor talk. The 500 Abarth is fun, it's cheap, it's eye-catching and it's comfortable for one or two. A great second- or third-car. (Update) A minor weakness of the vehicle is the infotainment system, but there is now an aftermarket head unit available to replace the OEM. The display is about 4 times larger and now includes Apple Play and other updated apps. It’s pretty much plug-and-play, and the steering wheel controls still work, so the vehicle is now even better than it was before. Still a great little runabout car for one or two people. Update: still love this little ride after a year or two. Great noise on startup and still surprisingly comfortable for a six+ foot tall driver. Other people seem to like it, too. I wouldn’t recommend it as a primary vehicle for an older person like myself, but if you’re single or an empty-nester with another primary vehicle, this car is a blast.

Exceeds Expectations with a smile

We have had our 2017 Fiat 500 for almost three years. We bought it to tow behind our motor home, it needed to be small and light and that's how we chose it. What we never expected, was to fall in love with this amazing little car with lots of room for us up front and even space for weekly grocery store trip. I remember as kid in the seventies that folks would joke that Fiat stood for fix it again tony. Well, bad news for Tony, like the Maytag guy he has nothing to repair. In almost three years we've changed the oil, air filter, cabin filter and rotated the tires, three times or once a year. Other than that no hiccups no issues with anything and we've had so much fun in this little Italian car that we smile everytime we get in and take off. We also smile at the infrequent fuel stops that we've had to make. We mostly drive in our rural area in town at 35 to 40 and we use cruise control as much as possible and get 40-55 mpg typically. Our highway speed limit in Idaho is 80, now at 80 we get 32-38 depending on grade and conditions. To sum up our experience, it has been excellent and we wish Fiat sold their full line up here as we certainly would buy a second Fiat in a heart beat. It has exceeded all expectations and feels like a small Ferrari, as I shift through those 5 gears. Only Italian car that I can afford and she's a real special one. They deserve a reputation that is much higher than the nay sayers whom never drove and certainly never owned one. Most reviews I've read by owners, share that nearly 90 plus percent would recommend and love their Fiat 500 and we do as well. Don't hesitate to buy one, you to will be amazed.
