| 2015 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
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 |

I would not put anyone on the rear seats. Maybe very short people for short distances. see full Fiat 500 review |

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 |
