Yep. This is a 2013 Pop (base model). These cars are so small and light that they don't be really need anything else. Although, I'd be surprised if manufacturing drum brakes is any cheaper than small disc setups these days 🤷🏼♂️
Several things wrong with this video. The new shocks should be torqued up with the car on the ground (or the suspension raised using a jack so that the shock is in the normal position). If you torque them up and then lower the car the rubbers bushes will be in a twisted position leading to rapid failure. The correct torque values are 70Nm top bolt, 85Nm bottom bolt. I also can't believe you didn't tighten the wheel bolts opposite and just went around. Wheel bolts should be 85Nm
Fiat 500 with drum brakes?

Fair comments. I'm always happy to learn. Thanks for sharing all the information 👍🏼
