I recently came back from Morocco, this car is very popular there among women.. Haven't seen ANY man driving one...
Even in Europe it is very rare to see a man driving a beetle or a fiat 500.. Men tend to go for a Mini Cooper instead.

Wrong, there's a lot of men driving this car in Europe. I can see it, I'm living there...

I rented one in Sicilia, had great handling (16 inches wheels), lot of fun, but badly assembled...

*1: You are either living in Paris, Italy or in GayVille

*2: You were either piss drunk while driving it or you had a higher-end model cause mine had no handling at all a Hyundai Getz was feeling like a Lotus compared to the 500.
 
Gotta give a big up to Marketing for taking a piece of shit and passing it for some sort of (dare I say...) Italian hot hatch :dunno:

When the Fiat 500 came to the Chrysler showrooms I went to Des Sources Chrysler to check it out and I was astonished at how LOW QUALITY the car assembly was. Plastic at the inside was HARD and felt really cheap, the seats offered zero comfort (fine.. I sit in one of the best seats of the industry(NO ONE beats Volvo seats), I poped the hood and I thought the hood was made of paper.. . sheet metal was über thin, connectors were not well covered... Overall, far from impressed. I cannot pronounce myself of drivability for i've never driven it, but the car being a Chrysler, it must be as fun to drive as it is to watch paint dry.

I wonder if Fiat will bring over the Bravo or the Punto, which I think would be better fit/finish(or so I hope).


My 2 cents.
 
Either way, I'm getting one.
Looks far and away better than anything else in the price range.

I would probably get a pair of roller-blade to do Montreal-L.A. before getting a Fiat 500.
I think i would even pay for a Dodge Neon!

Oh God, please don't!!
I grew up in Europe and Fiat is considered one of the crappiest car brands. They may looks cutsy-cuddly for women or hipsters but build quality and reliability are crap when compared to other euro brands.

That exactly why in North American the company who brought us Fiat was the one with the shittiest transmission in the market.
They were made to go together!
 
La Fiat m'intéresserait si elle n'avait pas autant de défauts ou un prix sensiblement plus bas.

Autrement je qualifierais sont design de ludique et intemporel plutôt que féminin, ce genre de design est bien plus agréable et vieillira mieux que les chars qui suivent platement la mode comme les fiesta, accent 2012, yaris 2012, etc. Un constructeur japonais devrait sortir un petit char cute, ça se vend à bon prix sans être plus cher à faire. Une simple yaris avec une belle robe comme la 500 serait plus intéressant que la 500 sur tous les points tout en étant moins chère...

Dans les européennes, je voudrais qu'on ait la Twingo et le trio C1/107/Aygo, ce sont de véritables aubaines et elles ont des qualités que la 500 n'a pas (finition et qualités routière pour la twingo, fiabilité et consommation pour l'aygo, l'habitabilité et le prix pour toutes).

Today's Fiats are well considered in Europe. Even back in the days, some cars like the Panda had a decent reputation.
 
J'ai voté all types of womenmais j'aurais dit la même chose d'une mini cooper il y a une couple d'années...maintenant la mini semble faire de plus en plus de sens.

I thought the same thing about the mini cooper when it just came out... but after a test drive in the mini cooper S I was blown off my feet.. That little car brings so much joy in life just by driving it.

I doubt the Fiat 500 will ever appeal to people as a fun/fast/quality car..

Well aside from the Abbarth it's not really something I'd consider.
There's someone on the boards pulling off style with his but I'm pretty sure he had his logical reasons to go with a 500 aside from it being ' cute '...

It's aimed at woman's, that's about it. Pretty much like beige Coopers.

But a black with brown rally stripes Cooper S is full of swag and it's something I'd rock everyday...
 
Any car that can be had in a "Gucci Edition" is for women or men who play on the wrong team.

Let's just put it this way, my GF LOVES it, and when we went to the auto show recently with a co-worker of hers she also LOVED the car. I know there's a guy on here who has one, no offense to him :D
