Fiat 500 Hatchback (08 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 23 January 2008 Last Updated: 21 February 2011 Since 2004 Fiat has been doing what it does best - producing small cars whose appeal is in their character and value.

However, this one unashamedly appeals to the emotions and is a modern interpretation of a classic small Fiat from the past. The 500 echoes the design of the rear-engined original, although is built to modern standards, and is very safe. Easy to drive and available with a host of customisation options, the little Fiat is a stylish small car with plenty of characterful. 4 out of 5 Other Fiat reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 Ford Ka (09 on) Enjoyable and easy to drive, refined at motorway speeds, cheap to run, plenty of customisation options Some scratchy interior plastics Read full review 4 out of 5 Toyota Aygo (05 on) Cheeky styling, fun to drive, low running costs, cheaper new than near-identical C1 and 107 Back to basics cabin, tiny boot, optional navigation system dislikes built-up areas Read full review 4.5 out of 5 MINI Hatchback (06 on) Great fun to drive, funky image, unique interior, economical engines Tiny boot, cramped rear seats, miserly standard kit Read full review Find other hatchback cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
