Fiat 500 C (09 on) - Review Review by Oli Laverack on 23 July 2009 Last Updated: 13 January 2011 The retro looks of the Fiat 500C may hark back to the 1950s, but this latest incarnation is a thoroughly modern small car with efficient engines, good levels of crash protection and plenty of creature comforts. It should come as little surprise that it's a popular small car - buyers also love the fact that it's cheap to run and easy to drive around town. Most of the car is identical to the 500 hatchback, with the obvious exception of the electric fabric roof. It slides back quickly and can be folded back halfway (as a sunroof) or all the way back to get the maximum wind-in-the-hair experience. 4 out of 5 Other Fiat reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Also Consider 3.5 out of 5 Smart Fortwo Cabriolet (07 on) Great in the city, well built, easy to park, economical and cheap to run, cdi diesel available Too small for the needs of many, wooden handling out of town, jerky gear change Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Peugeot 207 CC (07 on) Stylish interior, good to drive, available with a refined diesel engine, smooth ride, air con standard Pointless rear seats, hard to get luggage out of the boot when roof is down, slack manual gearbox Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Daihatsu Copen (04-10) Great fun to drive, metal folding roof, cheeky styling, economical engines Basic and dated interior, cramped driving position, tiny boot Read full review Find other convertible cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
