Fiat 500 Is Coming 2013 IIMS

The 2013 Fiat 500 ranks 20 out of 39 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 66 published reviews and test drives of the Fiat 500, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.



2013 Fiat 500 is one of the most attractive cars on the road, but its tight interior and underpowered base engine make competitors more appealing choices.



There are several things reviewers dislike about the Fiat 500’s powertrain. The base 500’s four-cylinder engine produces 101 horsepower. Though this isn’t much horsepower for the class, several test drivers say it’s just enough to get the 500 around town, although taking the 500 on the highway is a different story.



Regardless of the model they drove, test drivers are impressed with the 500's standard manual transmission and optional six-speed automatic, calling them smooth and responsive. Reviewers report the 2013 Fiat 500 is easily overwhelmed by crosswinds on the highway. Critics also mention that the 500’s ride is a little bumpy, but like that it has engaging steering and say the 500 is very easy to park.

The Fiat 500 seats four people, but reviewers find that the second-row seats have limited knee- and legroom for adults. They report that the front seats, however, have plenty of room for adults, though cabrio (convertible) models may not have enough headroom for tall drivers and front passengers.

Test drivers also say that rear visibility is poor. Critics aren’t surprised that the 500 has little cargo space with the seats up, but think the available room is adequate for a trip to the grocery store.



The base model comes standard with an auxiliary input, USB port and Bluetooth. Optional features include two stereo upgrades, satellite radio and a navigation system. Overall, many reviewers think the 500’s features are rather hard to use.
