2012 FIAT 500 - Great car for the city
Perfect little car for the city, easy to park and plenty of trunk space for groceries. Have the 5 speed manual and would recommend as it has better pick up. For a small car good leg room up front but can get cramped with 4 adults. Only complaint is tight suspension so you feel every bump in the road. G

2012 FIAT 500 - Fiat, nice if you want small
I bought this vehicle four years ago. At that time it served its purpose and my needs. I wasn't thrilled with the color but the dealer offered to do some custom work on it for me. I thought the car was cute and sporty. It was great on gas, which was a selling point. Over the years the car has not met my needs as they changed. I had a grandson, and his car seat didn't fit in the back. My step kids can barely get in and out of the car. It's not practical for families. It is a good choice for a single person who is looking for great gas mileage. It is roomy enough for one person, maybe two. I wish I had a bigger car now. I do like how it handles. It is a bit small to drive on the highway. It is hard for other cars to see my car on the highway. I feel it is not always the safest car.
Story
Everyone who sees my car asks me about it. It is definitely a conversation starter, whether at the gas station, grocery store, etc.
Pros
I liked the sporty design. I liked the wheels and rims. Although the wheels are very pricey to replace and are very hard to find. I liked the inside features of the car. The gas mileage is great. I liked the extras that didn't cost a lot of money. I like the Fiat brand. I liked the compact size when I bought it. It fit my needs when I purchased the car. The inside is comfortable for a person my size. I can fit all I need into the car when it's just me. Everyone asks me about my car when they see me out and about. It fits luggage for three people and the three people in the car. I can maneu... (more)
Cons
I think it was overpriced. The tires are very expensive to replace and hard to find. I think it's too small for a family car. I don't like that a car seat cannot fit in the back seat. It is not practical for more than one person to be in. It is not practical overall. It is small and hard to see on a highway. I almost had an accident with a tractor trailer because he couldn't see me. I am scared to drive it on highways. I feel like it's too small sometimes. I thought it was cute at first but quickly realized it's not practical. It's better for looks than usefulness. I hear a lot of bad thin... (more)
