Fiat 500 Car

Fiat 500 Review

Fiat 500 makes us think of its history, hereditary and driving experience at once. The aftermath of the World War II was a crucial recession. It was not easily affordable for the people to roam around in luxury cars those days. The luxury cars like Rolls Royce, Mercedes and Bentley gave way to people’s cars. Volkswagen took the advantage of this economical crisis by introducing Beetle. It was a small and affordable car.

In this age of recession Fiat tries to repeat the history by introducing a similar car with a 1248cc with 4cylinder engine. Fiat has named it as Fiat 500. Fiat 500 is in Italian design. As you know the Italians are famous for architecture and designs.

Fiat 500 is the smallest luxury car. The smallest luxury car Fiat 500 is a fully sophisticated car. The Fiat 500 price therefore is Rs. 14.87 lakhs. The maximum speed Fiat 500 can acquire is 100kms/hr. The Speedo meter needle marks 100 in 12.5 seconds. The maximum power of Fiat 500 is 75bhp@4000rpm and maximum torque is 145Nm@1500rpm. It has a five speed manual gear transmission. In this period of recession as we all look for higher mileage of cars, Fiat 500 provides us a mileage around 30km/litre. Fiat 500’s front brakes are disk brakes and rear ones are drum brakes. Its wheel base is 2300mm and turning radius is 4.6 meter. It has a large boot space of 185 litres. The fuel tank capacity of Fiat 500 is 35 litres.

The round shaped head lamps and fog lamps are apt for the altogether round shaped car. The Fiat logo at the centre is also in a round shape now. The side view mirrors unlike all other cars stay away form the door. It ensures better rear view. The tail lamps are so cute in style and small in size. There is a steel trim over the rear and front number plates.

Fiat 500 has a negative point as the four seat car has only two doors. It is quiet difficult for the third and fourth passengers to get in and out. It is really irritating. But the wider doors make it easy. The front seats have to be just leaned forward for it.

The interior of Fiat 500 is luxurious. The switches in the central console are finished with chromium out lines. It has a powerful audio and air conditioning system in it. The sophisticated Fiat 500 has steering wheel molded audio controls.  There is a chromium finished circle around the logo of Fiat on the steering too. The interior is in dual tone. It is in both black and body color and beige color combinations. The gear liver and leather seat provide us the best driving comfort. The interior of Fiat 500 is simply luxurious. The fact that there is sufficient space in Fiat 500 has to be admitted. And I still don’t know how Fiat has made possible in such a small car. The boot space is incredibly large. It has all the modern facilities including airbags, ABS, EPS and mobile integration. It is not behind in the case of safety features thus. It has a good rating among the car lovers around the world.
