The Good, the Bad and the Ugly about the FIAT 500. 2015 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Handling is good, nothing special. Mostly good for city driving. |

Fiat 500 Pop with five speed manual. 2013 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons Member6283 These are fun to drive cars! They aren't as fast as most subcompact or compact cars. My previous Mazdas and Nissans have all been much faster - but this thiing puts a smile on my face most of the time. It keeps up with traffic and usually leaves most folks... |

2014 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons Member6405 Again, the stock 500 has a surprisingly capable suspension, but the Abarth (even the softer-spring cabrio) feels like another car entirely. Despite the short wheelbase, the car feels firm and planted, and communicates weight shift and impending traction limits well to the driver, even with electronic power steering. I've seen... |

The Fiat 500: an amazing city/commuter car, provided you can hang with the big boys on the road. 2012 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons Member6089 The 500 is absolutely fun to toss around; planted, loads of oversteer to be sure, but feeling most like a shopping cart that refuses to tip over. It tilts in corners, quite a lot, but that's part of the experience. The short wheelbase means you feel like you turn |
2012 Fiat 500 2012 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons Member5954 It's not the sportiest handling car out there, but becuase of its small size, it's easy to maneuver in traffic and parking is rarely a problem. |

2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible TDI Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Beetle could hardly handle more safely or predictably. But the tires' grip is limited, and agility is in even shorter supply. In my view, a cute convertible should respond quickly and crisply to steering inputs. The Beetle instead has the deliberate, mature moves of a family sedan. Those seeking... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Fiat 500 |

2012 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons vstevens Handling is ok. Compared to other cars in this price range, it is more than adequate. But driving an Italian car, I should be able to feel more of the road through the steering wheel. Additionally, rain gooves on the highway sometimes affect the handling... and pot holes and irregularities... |

This is a car to LOVE 2013 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons Member5631 Clearly, with the Fiat being taller, it does not handle as good as the Mini Cooper or a Miata. However, it does handle very well. Obviously no one is racing a stock 500, so for daily use, the little car is perfect for the daily commute, especially if... |

2012 FIAT 500 Abarth Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh No car with a viable rear seat is smaller than the 500. Even the MINI Hardtop, which has a tighter rear seat, is a half-foot longer. For this reason alone, the Abarth is fun to drive in a way the vast majority of cars can't be. Yet I expected better....

2012 FIAT 500 SPORT MANUAL 2012 Fiat 500 Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Nimble, sharp, and fun. You can toss this thing around and do it with confidence. It does have a little lean but once you get used to that and know where the limits are, this is a quick car on surface streets. |

2013 Chevrolet Spark LS Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Small, light cars can be very fun to drive. The Spark isn't. Instead, like many previous small cars from GM it drives like a larger car, with less tippy handling and a smoother ride than other tall cars with short wheelbases. Those who'd rather have a large car will appreciate... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Fiat 500 |
