It's nice, but the Abarth version is the one worth getting (which I'm pretty sure won't be available around these parts).

I may just go for one if they offer it in Mexico (which isn't out of the question if it's going to be offered in the US). The question is: Would it replace my Yaris?!

TitaniumBarbell · 06-04-2009, 11:12 PM

I really love this little car!!!!!!!!!
(I don't see that brand on my Consumer Reports book) :(

auxmike · 06-04-2009, 11:30 PM

I'd be perfectly happy with the regular version myself (100hp). I love the interior too.

Jeremy Clarkson seems to like it too.

Its a nice looking car, reminds of the old times. I mostly like the current Fiat design but they have other problems. Fiat is well known over here for "not so good" technical quality compared to other manufacturers. But they are cheap here.

Bob Dog · 06-05-2009, 06:49 AM

I grew up in a world that had Fiats in it in the 1970s. They were the known for their low price, constant mechanical problems and extremely short life . I am told that is still the reputation that thay have in Europe.

elmo · 06-05-2009, 08:04 AM

not bad

alby_yaris · 07-08-2009, 07:06 PM

yaris is better...
inside it is so small!

and.....I hate fiat

roxy1 · 07-08-2009, 08:17 PM

toyota, could you please do something like this with the interior of the next yaris so it doesnt scream "hey, this car is cheap" when looking at the interior. the incoming fiesta, this fiat, the polo, the fit (which is a bit busy but not so chincy looking), and even the rio and accent, have interiors that outshine the yaris interior, some dramatically so. quirky but cheap doesnt cut it in this class anymore.

Thirty-Nine · 07-08-2009, 08:15 PM

I really like the 500, too. However, I do wonder what the quality will be like. I have heard they are towards the bottom on reliability, too.

schleppy · 07-08-2009, 09:05 PM

If they bring the Abarth version over here I'd get it in a heartbeat. The standard one, not so much.

Nutzoids · 07-08-2009, 09:14 PM

I LOVE THE FIAT CINQUECENTO...

I will be waiting in line to buy one... My foot is twitching just thinking about it

I am Italian, and I travel to Italy every year... and my Aunt has owned a 70 something Cinquecento since the day I met her when I was 8... I have so many found memories of stealing that car and going joy riding the Italian dirt roads...

I have been waiting since 1998 for this day to come... and the only reason I bought a Yaris was to get my self ready to drive a small car again...

Sad I know... sorry guys!
