Cool, funky, fun and unexpectedly refined, the 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio will impress those seeking a vehicle that delivers a polished and comfortable driving experience in either open or closed modes. An
Those who believe that hard-core handling and absolute quickness matters as much as being able to catch a few rays while on the go will probably be happier with a MINI Cooper/Cooper S Convertible.
A truly smooth operator, the Fiat 500c matches sporty suspension tune with excellent ride compliance and isolation. While the Mini Cooper Convertible has a clear edge in acceleration and at-the-limit handling, the 500 Cabrio dominates in comfort, refinement, and quietness as well as overall packaging. It also exhibits noticeably less cowl shake over uneven road surfaces. Only 53 pounds heavier than the hatchback, the 500c can easily keep up with traffic, although 0-60 mph sprints will take about 10 seconds with either gearbox. The 500c's well-s

"I've owned the car for a month and have a thousand miles on it. This car is packed with features, fun to drive, and surprisingly roomy! It will seat 4 comfortably, and I've averaged 34 mpg in city driving. Really an amazing value for the price. Highly recommend!"

"I bought this car because of the design, size and fuel economy. I checked out this car at my local dealership and they happened to have a used one with some features I wanted. All of the Fiat's have a standard bluetooth, mp3, etc. etc. I picked the Sport model because it had a few upgrades that I preferred the pleather, bose sound system and rubber floor mats. I really enjoy driving this car, filling up the tank, and the design and parking is fantastic! Pick up on this car is not great but for a four cylinder with sport mode on it's fine. I'd rather have more pickup but that's just how I am and prefer to drive. It seats 4 but if you want two people in the back, you need to move those front seats up and if you're my size 5' 10" then it's a little cramped. Otherwise great car for the price and features! This car is made cheaply meaning, it has plastic everything. For them to keep the price low they used more plastic. The radio and mp3 features are fine, nothing too fancy, but lacks some extra settings you would like such as a shuffle button, and for voice commands, you don't know what they all are."
