Experts Are Raving About The Fun City-Driving FIAT 500

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- These cute, fun-to-drive little FIATs are all the rave in the nation with its economical disposition, Italian heritage and design. This vehicle is gaining attention, not only from consumers (which you can see on our testimonial page), but auto reviewers are buzzing about how great the 2012 FIAT 500.

See what the experts had to say about our little car or see the FIAT 500 in person at FIAT of Edmond in Oklahoma City, OK:

USA Today said:

If we're going to save the planet by taking less space and using less fuel, let's do it with flair, with style, with verve - let's do it with the go pedal pushed to the floor and big grins on our faces - let's do it in Fiat 500s. Almost impossibly stylish, available in an array of hues, graced with a small-displacement, advanced-technology engine that loves to run hard and doesn't use a lot of fuel doing so, it's the first Fiat sold in the U.S. since the brand bailed in 1983. Welcome back, Fiat.

USA Today Writing James R. Healey said:

“We spent hundreds of miles on a variety of roads in a variety of 500s, waiting for things to go wrong - nothing did, and a fine time was had in the process”

A Jalopnik.com Reviewer said about the 2012 FIAT 500c:

“The Fiat 500C is quicker, cheaper than and just as retro as a base Mini Cooper convertible. Seems like an adorable alternative to me."

“with a base price of the "Pop" version starting at $20,000 (about $4,000 more than the base 500) you'll have to ask whether the added cost justifies the quasi-drop-top. In my mind, absolutely. Even at that price point — this car is still the cheapest convertible you can buy in the U.S.”

Car and Driver said:

The new Cinquecento drives with as much personality as its shape boasts. The steering is quick and linear but a bit light. The Sport button on the dash (standard on all trim levels), should instead be labeled “Perfect,” as that’s what it makes the steering, dialing down the assist and opening up more feedback.

The Car Connection said:

It could hardly have arrived at a better time. Gas prices are over $3 a gallon, and the 500's nearly 40-mpg fuel economy gives it at least one convincing argument to park itself in the garages of small-car buyers everywhere. But unlike other subcompact buyers with big EPA numbers, the 500 has a heady dose of style, from its heritage-induced proportions to the mix-and-match color play of its pint-sized interior.
