One of the really sad things about the Fiat 500 is the way FCA is handling the brand here in the US. The Fiat 500 is actually many different cars, some good and some not good at all, but to most American buyers a Fiat 500 is just a Fiat 500. Nobody really knows if you are talking about the 500 hatchback (a true retro economy car), the 500L sedan/wagon (the dual clutch gearbox has not worked any better for Fiat than for Ford in the Focus/Fiestia), the Abarth (a real fun car for drivers only), or the 500X (Built on Jeep running gear With more style than off-road performance). Only the Abarth stands slightly apart since it is devoid of Fiat badges and costs a good deal more than most other "500" models. see full Fiat 500 review |

Fiat used to have a so-so reputation because their cars rusted. This car has a 'not-rust-through' guarantee for something like ten or twelve years and is totally galvanized metal. It is a very stylish car, too. see full Fiat 500 review |

Toyota is the #1 in car manufacturing. This should say a lot. Toyota Corporation has offices and factories in many countries, and Toyota cars are sold all over the world. see full Toyota Avalon review |

Japanese vehicles, especially Toyota have had a very good reputation. After owning this vehicle 8 months I see why. see full Toyota Avalon review |

Toyota is at the top of the quality pyramid. Although Toyota quality has slipped during the past several years, it is still heads above the competition. see full Toyota Avalon review |
