2012 Fiat 500
View our Fiat 500 Inventory!
After nearly 30 years of absence, the Fiat 500 returns to the U.S. The 500 makes a great first impression with a comfortable interior with lots of room for two adults, familiar styling, and a size that makes it a great urban traffic.
The Fiat 500 is 139 inches long, 63 inches wide and rides on a 90-inch wheelbase. The 500's ride verges on the stiff side, but in line with other small cars and softer than most Minis. With great handling, you will have a tough time finding a place where a U-turn can't be accomplished. The Fiat has just a 30.6-foot turning circle.
The 500 has an enlarged speedometer that puts virtually everything smack-dab in front of the driver. The seats are comfy and it's a snap to figure out ventilation and audio controls. In addition to the 14 available interior trim colors, some 50
accessories are available at launch, from interior lighting kits and
roof racks to a variety of exterior graphics. Fourteen exterior colors
are available for the 500, including two reds, yellow, orange, two
different browns and two greens.
Get used to using that five-speed manual shifter a lot with the 1.4-liter, 101 -horsepower engine. It produces 98 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. Fuel economy drops off dramatically with the automatic, to a Fiat-estimated 27 mpg city/34 highway from the stick's 30/38.
The transmission is one of several substantial changes Fiat made to the 500 to bring it to the U.S. The Fiat 500 has a redesigned rear suspension with more roll stiffness, as well as revised front-suspension. The Fiat 500 has additional subframe bracing and revised shocks all around, and has a very quiet cabin. Fiat has added sound-deadening material throughout the body, upgraded the door seals, and installed a better-insulated engine cover.
The 500 is slowly making its way to the States as coupe and convertible models with a continuing stream of options to make your 500 look like nothing else on the road. The base sedan will sell for $15,550; the convertible for $19,500.
