2013 FIAT 500 Review

By KBB.com Editorial Staff
You'll Like This Car If...

Cool, funky, fun and unexpectedly refined, the 2013 Fiat 500 bridges the gap between the sportier, pricier Mini Cooper and the more pedestrian Toyota Yaris. If you like a little car with attitude, and

You May Not Like This Car If...

If you're not smitten by the style of the 2013 Fiat 500, you can get more car for your money in something like a Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta or Mazda2, all offering more doors, more room and more stand

How it Drives

Whereas the Mini Cooper is an undersized action hero – as in The Italian Job – the Fiat 500 is more likely to appear in a festival-favorite romantic comedy. The lightweight, 101-horsepower Fiat is definitely fun, just not in a sideways, airborne, car-chase kind of way. A big part of the appeal lies in how the 500 combines the advantages of a tiny car with comfortable accommodations and a relatively smooth highway ride. The steering, brake and shift controls all have a quality feel, and the optional 6-speed automatic surprised us wit

"Car has broken down completely three times in 4500 miles. Electronics flip out and shut down transmission, power steering, everything -- a terrifying experience for a jelly bean of a car. Am hoping it breaks down one more time, as 4 times are required in NYS for Lemon Law to kick in. They say that FIAT stands for "Fix It Again, Tony," and they're right. I've seen altogether too much of Tony lately, and I can't get out of my lease, Buyer, beware."

Pros: "Reliable, fun to drive great on gas"

Cons: "A bit underpowered but not bad in sport mode"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Well I did own a MINI Cooper but that was not a good experience. What a nightmare. The MINI was just not a reliable car. I owned it for 6 months and was happy to be rid of it. I love this Fiat 500. Drives like a quality small car. It is better on gas than the EPA numbers. I am getting 34 mpg around town and 42 hiway with the 5 speed. The car has been super reliable without any problems. If you are thinking of buying a MINI drive the Fiat 500 and I think you will be pleasantly surprized."
