Reentering into the North
American markets, Fiat 500 is making a worldwide impact.  Having excellent styling and enough space for
two passengers, the car is rated well with better manual transmission fuel
economy too.

Almost everyone who drives one likes the ride. The few who don’t get motivated to comment on line, I guess.
But to each his own.  
I have 14,000 miles on mine and I have loved every mile. Not many of the haters have driven even a single mile in one.

Most car normal people buy are less than 26k, and while you are right that there many cars over 30k most are “premium” cars. Porshe, BMW, Audi, Acura, Lexus, Mercedes, etc. None of them really sell a ultra compact, nor is a 500 sport anything like a BMW 3 series.

As others have pointed out there is a lot more car out there for the same or less. For example the Subaru impreza. Anyways, cute little car but I’m not really sure who they are targeting.

This car is ugly, like Seamus said, just looks off. Nothing about it says “O, I’m cool” to me at all. It looks like one of those toddler cars that you move with your feet with the yellow roof, just different color lol

The only reason I say this is that the Jetta Seats Four, has Four doors, probably get around the same gas mileage as this and also starts at ~$16000. And personally to Me the Fiat 500 looks like a Smart with Down Syndrome.

Because this car has great quality, and it should be said to have a good price. Not ‘cheap’

I had fallen in love with the looks, having lived in Italy for 5 years. But the car does not drive well at all on the highway. Generally uncomfortable ride, bobbing a bit due to rather short wheelbase. The suspension leaves a lot to be desired. Horsepower is short with automatic (would go for manual if I’d ever buy one of these). In the city, the car is fine, you can park just about anywhere. Attention grabber.

The base model is in the $16k range, the maroon and white one isn’t base and is in the $26k range. To me $26k is still a cheap car with many cars in the mid $30 range on up. I noted the starting price in the story.
