Why Would You Want One?
To be honest, Fiat hasn't needed to do a whole lot to retain this 500 model's popularity. It still looks great, it's always been fun to drive and providing the pricing doesn't get too ambitious, the market remains there for it. Fiat would've been unwise to mess with the 500's shape too much, so sensibly, they've kept exterior styling tweaks to the minimum.
With the most recent package of changes, exterior styling tweaks were kept to the minimum and inside, the biggest update is the inclusion of 'Uconnect' infotainment systems on all models, although only the top 'Lounge' variant is fitted with a touchscreen as standard. Drivers will also appreciate the smarter steering wheel with its chrome-plated switches. As ever, city dwellers will like the tight 9.3m turning circle.
Give Me the Key Details...
As for those design changes, well up front, there's a sleeker chrome grille that sits below revised headlights and is positioned at more of an angle than before. At the rear, there are smarter tail lights that incorporate a body-coloured panel in the centre. This has meant the reversing and fog lights have moved from the clusters to the lower rear bumper.
Under the skin of the new Fiat 500, the Italian brand claims that over 1,800 modifications have been made in creation of this current model. These include a sleeker chrome grille that sits below revised headlights and is positioned at more of an angle than before. At the rear, there are smarter tail lights that incorporate a body-coloured panel in the centre.
Fiat 500 finance and Fiat 500 finance deals are mainly based around two petrol engines, a 69bhp normally aspirated 1.2 and a 0.9-litre TwinAir turbo unit developing either 85 or 105bhp. Go for the TwinAir petrol powerplant, as many buyers will, and you'll find that the engine can get a bit vocal if you work it hard. There’s also a 95bhp 1.3-litre Multijet diesel and, in the sporty Abarth models, a 1.4-litre T-Jet turbo petrol unit if you want it.
The Bottom Line
Yes, this model remains pretty small inside, but then smallness is all part of the appeal. You'll appreciate that when zipping around town in one. In summary, this great, iconic car remains as likeable as ever.
