What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Fiat 500

2014 Fiat 500 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
I like to drive small cars, but I am a large man. (6'3" and about 290lbs.) I love the seating position of the Fiat, as it sits higher, so I don't have to bend down as far to get in, as on the Mini Cooper or the Miatas I used to drive. The driving position is more upright, which I find more comfortable as well. The base model (Pop) seats are comfortable, though I would like to have the leather seats of the "Lounge" model. Ride quality is very good. There is no harshness and I easily rate it better than the Honda Civic I traded for it (2006) and many other, larger cars I drove. It is also one of the quieter cars I've owned. see full Fiat 500 review

Rear seating is very cramped, and the ease of entry/exit is poor. Think of the rear seats as emergency seating- like a Porsche 911, and you get the idea. No one will want to travel across town in the rear seats. Forget a road trip entirely. see full Fiat 500 review

Roomy in front but narrow. With two people in front you're bound to rub shoulders or arms when using the arm rests. see full Fiat 500 review

As previously mentioned, I would not want to use my rear seat on a regular basis. It is tight in back, and I think of it as emergency seating. see full Fiat 500 review

Yeah, don't try to ride in the back if you are as big as me. But my kids 8 & 11 fit just fine. My family of 4 has taken the Fiat on several small family trips. I wouldn't drive with them more than a couple of hours each way, as they start to get antsy, but the kids love the car for short trips. see full Fiat 500 review

Rear seat is what it is..Small but bigger then you think.. I'm 5'9 and there is still leg room behind me..But for any real distance I would think it's better for kids.. This isn't really a "Con" as your buyig a small car for fun and mileage not leg room... You think this is small try a mini-Cooper back seat see full Fiat 500 review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2014 Fiat 500

2014 Fiat 500 Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2015 2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
I am now on my third Fiat 500, the first being a Sport, the second was a T (135 hp Turbo) and now the 160 hp Abarth. I have now driven Fiat 500s for a combined total of 64,000 miles (I have a hefty commute) plus we have another 500 Sport with 15000 miles. Total repairs for all 3? One or two, I can't remember. The repair(s) were nothing serious. All have been very reliable, just needing routine maintenance. To say I love the Abarth would be an understatement. The sound of the free flow exhaust is intoxicating. The power in such a small, light car makes it quite entertaining to drive (0-60 time has been reported as 6.5 seconds. The brakes work well, not as well as a Mini Cooper S I once owned, but I haven't had to do any brake work at all on any of my Fiats. The Mini Cooper needed brake pads at 30,000 miles. Steering is very tight and precise. The steering is far more precise on the Abarth than the lower models. It is a trade off however, as the turning circle is much wider than the lower models in the 500 range: turns often require 3 points in the Abarth that the lower priced models can do in 2. I mentioned the exhaust earlier. It is basically a straight pipe after the down pipe, splitting to a pair of chrome tips at the rear. The Abarth has no muffler. This leads to a wonderful growl when laying into the gas pedal (something that happens often because it is so much fun) and yet is fairly quiet at highway speeds. The suspension is pretty stiff, as can be expected in a performance model, but I don't find it it irritating at all, even on less than perfect city streets. see full Fiat 500 review

Very slow. Manual transmissions on 2012-2016 models have a defective clutch assembly that's on recall. see full Fiat 500 review
2014 2dr Convertible turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Test driving numerous trim levels before purchasing, I have to say that unlike most reviewers, I found the stock naturally-aspirated 1.4 to be a surprisingly gutsy little engine, and the 40mpg it returned was especially impressive. However, the full-spec Abarth is another vehicle entirely. I once owned an intercooled Volvo 245ti, as well as a Suzuki Swift GTi... the Abarth reminds me a lot of both of those cars. The turbo does have noticeable lag (especially in Sport mode), but once it spools up the torque is truly impressive. Once you calibrate your right foot, backroads become roller coasters, and highway merging and passing often don't even require a downshift from 5th. I do highly recommend getting an aftermarket throttle remap box... there are a variety that plug straight into the throttle-by-wire connector. For whatever reason, the Fiat's stock accelerator mapping requires a significant amount of pedal travel before the car responds as you think it should. These cheap little boxes change that without any effect on CPU and really improve overall drivability see full Fiat 500 review
2013 2dr Hatch 101-horsepower 1.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD
With only 101 BHP on tap, the Fiat 500 Sport is not a speed demon. However, there is plenty of power on tap if the manual transmission is driven correctly-on the highway if more power is needed to pass, shift down to 4th gear, pass, and shift back to 5th. I have not driven an automatic transaxle model, so I don't know how that performs. While "only" 101hp, it feels peppier than our old Hyundai Accents, which were more powerful on paper. Most think the 500 may make a great city car, and that is true, but it does extremely well on the highway as well- mine is driven on my daily commute 120 miles a day, and is so much fun that I look forward to my next drive in the 500. see full Fiat 500 review

The base model has plenty of power for good drivers. "If you can't go fast with 90hp, 900 won't help you" - Bob Hall, father of the Miata. I have to wonder about people who complain about the power of the base model not being enough are full of crap. It is not a racecar, but I can easily keep ahead of traffic without ever shifting above 4500. I usually shift below 3500 and stay ahead of traffic. Never had any trouble merging traffic, either. Yes, an Abarth or Turbo might be more fun at times, but there is nothing wrong with the base model's power. see full Fiat 500 review

Love, love, love the sound of the 1.4 L turbo engine. The factory exhaust makes me grin every time I drive the car. It can seem a bit noisy when starting up in the morning (don't annoy the neighbors) but every drive to the store is an event in this car. The engine is torquey, smooth, and plenty powerful for anything I have thrown at it, including some agressive mountain road driving. see full Fiat 500 review

The standard Pop, Sport, or Easy Fiat 500 all use the same power train; a 1.4 liter of 101hp and 98 of torque. This is perfectly fine with either transmission and I can keep up with normal traffic - but not the macho folks that run hard from one red light to the next. The base engine with the manual gearbox is a fun around town or back roads car! You can run hard and have a lot of fun with it yet not kill yourself easily. The base engine with auto is less fun. It makes the car feel dead and slow, not light and perky. A sad combination in my view. When you factor in the steep hit in fuel economy of the auto, it is not something I would do again! Surprisingly, the auto is faster to sixty than my manual Pop. If you nail your foot to the floor from a stop, the transmission does a great job of running thru the gears at redline without your doing anything. Buy the way, this 500c has seen 105 in fifth of six gears when I ran out of safe, empty road. It will stay with highway traffic at 80mph all day if you want, but if you keep it between 70-75mph it gets a true 40mpg, see full Fiat 500 review
