The unique Fiat 500 is charming and stylish. Since it arrived in 2008, the reborn Fiat 500 has been a huge hit. Its cute design, Italian style and compelling affordability have resonated with both new and used car buyers. Over its long life, the standard 500 has been tweaked and updated many times, and numerous variants of it introduced. Its retro looks (which hark back to the original 500 of the late 1950s and 1960s) give it a certain timelessness, plus the aforementioned tweaks have been somewhat significant. There are three trim levels to choose from: Pop, Popstar and Lounge. In later models, Sport replaced Popstar. The entry-level Pop models come with LED daytime running lights, a height-adjustable steering wheel and Fiat's Uconnect infotainment system with USB connectivity, while upgrading to Pop Star gets you air conditioning and split-folding rear seatbacks (otherwise it's a single bench). The range-topping Lounge models come with luxuries such as a fixed glass roof, rear parking sensors, foglights, a DAB radio and Bluetooth. Urban streets are where the 500 excels, thanks to its compact size and reasonably nimble handling. The retro interior is almost as good to look at as the exterior, with plenty of neat design touches. The 0.9-litre Twinair is the economy star, promising 70.6mpg or 67.3mpg, depending on power output.
