The new/old city car from FIAT.
Another cute car, this time from the Italian auto-maker Fiat; it's a city car, but you could call it urban car too, so not really big, used mostly to travel inside the city. That the strength point of this car. Since is not so big you can easily park in small spot and can squeeze between obstacle that other cars cannot overtake.
These are three doors cars for five passengers. Well, five really packed passengers; the front seats are comfortable enough for the driver and the nearer passenger. Even with just two back passengers they can have enough space to move freely, if the frontal seats are not pulled too much back. The fifth passenger should be really intimate and will be probably hugged by the other two.
As usual these type of cars seems too small to carry luggage, but really the trunk can carry without problem a medium grocery shopping or two trolley with even more space for the souvenir bag. That just with the deep trunk, but you can even have more space if you pull down the rear seats; that way you full load all your wife baggage. :)
The Fiat 500 come with six type of engine, just one of them diesel. Of the other one is called the greenest petrol engine, but usually that just marketing. Anyway the smallest engine is probably really good for efficiency and in urban area where you don't have to push it too much.
Well you can buy the boosted Abarth version, with the engine tweaked to get over 200 km/h (127mph) without problem.
About the steering, I have already told that it's a nimble car that can find his way around the city with ease and you can choose between three different transmission, from manual to semi-automatic to full automatic.
Even if semi-automatic seems the best with all the traffic lights or the traffic jam I still prefer the manual gear.
