daisyroots yours I’m guessing (whether a standard 500/“Cinquecento” in Italian or a high performance Abarth) has a very passionate engine sound, which is my personal FAV thing about the Fiat 500. Italian cars like it are meant for people who are most passionate about cars and driving. Keep enjoying yours as long as you have it.
@@Txtzraven Yeah because you just hate little cars. I don't get it: Mazda 2, Toyota Yaris, Volkswagen Polo, Fiat 500, Mitsubishi Space Star, Ford Fiesta, MINI Cooper Hatchback, New Nissan Leaf..There are so many cool and good subcompact cars. Economical, fun to drive with a manual and also reliable if you maintain them right like any other car. Problem you have with the 500 is that they used a brand new type of engine for you. Here in Europe there are good, reliable 1.2l 8valve 69hp and 1.4l 16valve 101hp engine. Get one of those and you'll be fine, the Multiair engine this particular model has is let's say pretty well known for having problems cause it's a complex system. Like I said 1.2l or 1.4l engine non turbo engine perfect for driving in the city. But now I have a personal question: What's the speed limit in american cities if it's 30 both engines would be ok.
People don't forget this car is for fun driving and asthetics. It's not made for usability in mind. I would so buy this car. Reminds me of a Ferrari just miniature and less powerful. It definantly looks different than anything else on the street today! Love Fiat!
Oh I love these cars, drove one back in the summer at the dealer in Atlanta, it was a great drive, very nice was going to be my next car, but found out I am losing my job :-( Thanks for the post Kyle
Yeah it has 3 positions, open a little, all the way back including rear window and like how he did it in the video,just stops before the rear window! 👍😎⚠️
I love the new Fiat 500. Its just such a neat and cool car, but I can't WAIT untill next year when the Abarth version comes out and then you'll be doing a review of that! Awesome vid as always Kyle!
Piu bello! I simply love those Fiats. They may be small, useless for families and cannot carry much stuff, however they look quite elegant, have an unique style and plenty of glamour. Keep rocking, Kyle.
I've been wanting one of these ever since they came to America. The only place to buy one is 2 hours away from me. When I saw all those Fiats lined up I almost passed out. I want one so bad!
I drive a front wheel drive small car now. In the snow...it is just fine. I have owned 3 Subaru's and they were the best on the road for snow but a front engine, front wheel drive car is the next best option. I live in Chicago so yes, we get tons of snow every year.
The roof fully retracts to the top of the boot. And it is the modern version of the original 500 :) It inherited it's style, this doesn't borrow styling elements from other subcompacts ;)
hey kyle i have question, if the temperature is cold, you feel it inside the car? i mean the roof looks like very "plastic" so how about temperature inside the car when outside is colder ? Hope u answer my question. Good vids bye
I'm italian and i'm driving my fiat Punto since 1993, 1.2L FIRE engine! very very fuel efficiency engines! Is the 1.3 mjet diesel engine available for the States?
i had fiats back in the day. wont look at another one until htey have redeemed themselves as far as quality control. BUT kyle, yet another stellar review. as always. BTW if i recall correctly you did a very short review on a 500 while you were at a dealership a while back Eh?
Looks like a nice edition to Chrysler's lineup...but I don't like the tachometer integrated with the speedometer, it makes it very hard to read. But at least J-Lo is happy to own one
@darkhorse000 Agree, 101 HP (maybe 90 to the wheels?) is fine for city streets, not so good for expressways or passing. And no matter how you slice it, over 10 secs 0-60 is a dog whatever the power/weight ratio. They saved Chrysler though so props to them I guess.
@PS2Gameplays It doesn't matter. European octane ratings are different from US ratings. 87 octane US gas is the equivalent of 93-95(can't remember) octane Euro gas.
@7477238 I actually live in Virginia, but I was up in Canada for a few days, so I got to experience Canada's drivers, and I LOVED THEM! There was a dad and his daughter in (probably) an 80s car, and they were booking it. The (rental) car that we had didn't have km/h, so we had to "assume" the speed limit. So my conclusion is that Canadian drivers drive well (even if they cut people off), because they don't drive 20mph under the speed limit like half of Virginians.
@bagelboi66 OOH yeah, where i live you have to go over mountain passes to get to any other city. I was in a '03 Nissan Sentra 1.8. That has 134 Whp, and as soon as i started climbing the pass i began slowing down. I think these will only be in Cities or flat areas.
@Tha89Kid Because of the higher hp, the civic is able to use longer gears that lower engine operation rpm. Lower horsepower never will guarantee economy.
I do have to say though, it's nice to see a vehicle in North America that has effort put into such a cheap car. Although i would go for the FIAT panda if i had the choice. Since the 500c was built off of the panda. :D
@saabkyle04 is this the a saabkyle first? wherein he got caught up in a storm? :))) hahaha BTW kyle, you should've took video of you driving it through the rain :D
I would only drive the Abarth or Sport edition of these the rest scream chick car like this one lol. Great work Kyle whether its a beater or a Rolls Royce...
@BlazerLT this car seems built very well,quality plus its been around in Europe for a while.civics still top dog though,ever notice its rivals always compare themselves to honda,while honda doesn't compare itself to its rivals on tv Ads.
@darkhorse000 did you know most motorcycles have engines that make under 100 horsepower, and yet they still go very fast? this is because of something called power-to-weight ratio. when you have a car that weighs less than a brick, a small engine is plenty.
@LarryDavidFreak actually they stared selling the new fiat 500 in Europe back in 2007 before Fiat had anything to do with Chrysler so actually Chrysler had no influence on the power-train or design
It's curious to read that a lot of people want more power in such a small car: here in Italy there is also a 69hp version and nobody complains, 'cause it's an utilitarian, not a sportscar
I don't think thats possible, octane is simply a chemichal structure... that would be like saying H2O structure is different in depending on the continent, 90 octane is the same here and elsewhere...
@blue06lt I don't think they need to try again. It's just not what North America is used to, in Europe they sold an absolutely insane number of these cars and they were voted to be some of the best on the road, all that hype is why they brought it over here.
I love how the rain starts going crazy but the review won't stop!!!
I just bought one....2017.....I absolutely love it ......America’s most underrated car
daisyroots yours I’m guessing (whether a standard 500/“Cinquecento” in Italian or a high performance Abarth) has a very passionate engine sound, which is my personal FAV thing about the Fiat 500. Italian cars like it are meant for people who are most passionate about cars and driving. Keep enjoying yours as long as you have it.
daisyroots it’s underrated and hated for a good reason, unreliable and not even suitable for the American market in the first place
@@Txtzraven Yeah because you just hate little cars.

I personally think this car is outstanding, I'm getting mine tomorrow
I like these little cars. Took one out on a test drive not too long ago. I have my eyes set on the Abarth model!
Another great review. Very thorough. Well done!
Oh I love these cars, drove one back in the summer at the dealer in Atlanta, it was a great drive, very nice was going to be my next car, but found out I am losing my job :-( Thanks for the post Kyle
Man just love your In-Depth Tours xD
that interior is beautiful!!!
The roof does go all the way down.
Yeah it has 3 positions, open a little, all the way back including rear window and like how he did it in the video,just stops before the rear window! 👍😎⚠️
I absolutly love those cars. Probably the only really good looking small cars.
I love the new Fiat 500. Its just such a neat and cool car, but I can't WAIT untill next year when the Abarth version comes out and then you'll be doing a review of that! Awesome vid as always Kyle!
Piu bello! I simply love those Fiats. They may be small, useless for families and cannot carry much stuff, however they look quite elegant, have an unique style and plenty of glamour.
Keep rocking, Kyle.
I've always loved fiats!! So unique!
FINALLY YOUR VIDEOS SPAWN IN THE MAIN PAGE AGAIN!!!
I've been wanting one of these ever since they came to America. The only place to buy one is 2 hours away from me. When I saw all those Fiats lined up I almost passed out. I want one so bad!
yo kyle you should do more reviews in the rain dude. oddly comforting and relaxed
@7477238 I saw a lot of Fiat 500s when I went from Montreal to Toronto. They seemed to do really well when it comes to highway driving.
I drive a front wheel drive small car now. In the snow...it is just fine. I have owned 3 Subaru's and they were the best on the road for snow but a front engine, front wheel drive car is the next best option.
I live in Chicago so yes, we get tons of snow every year.
The roof fully retracts to the top of the boot. And it is the modern version of the original 500 :) It inherited it's style, this doesn't borrow styling elements from other subcompacts ;)
I drove a GRANDE PUNTO ABARTH SS verson. 1.4 turbo ~180hp. Thats a definition of pocket rocket !
You can also fold back the top from outside the car by holding down the unlock button on the keyless entry.
@Enix69 Very few passenger cars in the US are diesel. Diesel engines are mostly found in semi's and some pickup trucks.
I love the look of that little Fiat, looks lovely :)
Been waiting for this for a loooong time.
Kyle, you could have pressed the button again when it's like on "sunroof" mode and that will bring down the cloth top down to the top of the tailgate.
hey kyle i have question, if the temperature is cold, you feel it inside the car? i mean the roof looks like very "plastic" so how about temperature inside the car when outside is colder ? Hope u answer my question. Good vids bye
I'm, a BIGGEST, MEGA, GIANT FAN OF FIAT 500!!!
Some competition from me maybe? 😉 But yeh, how good is this car
I'm italian and i'm driving my fiat Punto since 1993, 1.2L FIRE engine! very very fuel efficiency engines! Is the 1.3 mjet diesel engine available for the States?
then it turns an interesting light brown color. its magic!
Very. Strong rain. And. Very. Nice. Review
U can update the sterio and speakers and stuff without destroying the ac right?
is there going to be other fiat models coming to america?
If I ever was interested in buying a small car, the Fiat 500 is the only one that's cool enough.
lol, i love how you got trapped in the car from the rain and so you just went into m more detail on the back seat.
I feel like the white steering wheel will get dirty easily. Will it?
Very Retro car, reminds me of the 60's mini cars that once were.
1:07 Seriously? An automatic transmission? Manual is the only way to go with a small car like this. It's a lot more fun.
+Tuppoo94 Some people can't afford manual transmissions, so that's why they buy automatics.
+Brian Lee That's not the point.
I agree
where do you get this car What city what state
@Scorch1007 well its not only about miles per gallon i mean this is an iconic car to a lot of people
Now this one looks silver. Are there silver and white fiat lounges?
i had fiats back in the day. wont look at another one until htey have redeemed themselves as far as quality control. BUT kyle, yet another stellar review. as always. BTW if i recall correctly you did a very short review on a 500 while you were at a dealership a while back Eh?
9:00 where would you plug in the aux cord?
Inside the Glove Box is the aux input
Can you change the red seats?
The automatic makes it a fashion accessory. The only thing that really makes it worth buying is that it's nimble and fun to drive.
@Toni7859 ... most cars have rev limiters engaged when parked.
@strumem90 Actually you can get a manual as long as you get a 500C in the "Pop" trim.
Anyone knows if the top is made of canvas or vinyle,Thanks
@saabkyle04 FYI the roof does go back much further than you opened it.
@jsiszero It's only premium recommended, you can still use regular.
Looks like a nice edition to Chrysler's lineup...but I don't like the tachometer integrated with the speedometer, it makes it very hard to read. But at least J-Lo is happy to own one
@saabkyle04 hey man dou you still have the hyundai!????
@darkhorse000 Agree, 101 HP (maybe 90 to the wheels?) is fine for city streets, not so good for expressways or passing. And no matter how you slice it, over 10 secs 0-60 is a dog whatever the power/weight ratio. They saved Chrysler though so props to them I guess.
There is one in the area that offers a free dealer's lifetime power train warranty in addition to the standard 4yr bumper to bumper/powertrain.
kyle, do you like the manual better? i feel it's what the car is meant to be
I'm glad to have Fiat here!
@PS2Gameplays It doesn't matter. European octane ratings are different from US ratings. 87 octane US gas is the equivalent of 93-95(can't remember) octane Euro gas.
@BlazerLT i meant that the mpg is to low for such a small car with 101 HP,Honda civic does better with more HP and its bigger.still a nice car though.
@07:46, the yellow fiat 500, is that abarth 500?
what does the sport button do?
very nice car now i want one
This such a classy ride, much better than the Beetle.
How was your trip to mt
6:56 "very little vibrations transfer into the cabin" again hahahaha i LOL'd
@7477238 I actually live in Virginia, but I was up in Canada for a few days, so I got to experience Canada's drivers, and I LOVED THEM!

@OwiuX The North American versions are built in Mexico.
Could you do an Infiniti G coupe?
You should start showing the wipers for every car!
@bagelboi66 OOH yeah, where i live you have to go over mountain passes to get to any other city. I was in a
'03 Nissan Sentra 1.8. That has 134 Whp, and as soon as i started climbing the pass i began slowing down.
I think these will only be in Cities or flat areas.
Also, out of all the unique colours you pick .. Silver?
@Tha89Kid Because of the higher hp, the civic is able to use longer gears that lower engine operation rpm. Lower horsepower never will guarantee economy.
Where do I buy a car exactly like this????
Can't wait for the Abarth!!
I have a lounge 500 2012 fiat..I put regular unleaded in it is that wrong?
I do have to say though, it's nice to see a vehicle in North America that has effort put into such a cheap car. Although i would go for the FIAT panda if i had the choice. Since the 500c was built off of the panda. :D
I like the white accenting on the steering wheel, very creamy to me.
@networkjct I agree. The roof goes back much further.
what about the Abarth version? :)
@saabkyle04 is this the a saabkyle first? wherein he got caught up in a storm? :))) hahaha
BTW kyle, you should've took video of you driving it through the rain :D
I would only drive the Abarth or Sport edition of these the rest scream chick car like this one lol. Great work Kyle whether its a beater or a Rolls Royce...
Great great car. Buy it, you won't regret it
@peterlv68 The regular 500 gets up to 39 mpg hwy.
Why did you not show the roof fully open????
I think the Fiat 500 Abarth is coming to the US early in 2012. It's going to have 20+ more HP and will be about 2.5 seconds quicker 0-60.
@BlazerLT this car seems built very well,quality plus its been around in Europe for a while.civics still top dog though,ever notice its rivals always compare themselves to honda,while honda doesn't compare itself to its rivals on tv Ads.
@darkhorse000 did you know most motorcycles have engines that make under 100 horsepower, and yet they still go very fast? this is because of something called power-to-weight ratio. when you have a car that weighs less than a brick, a small engine is plenty.
@LarryDavidFreak actually they stared selling the new fiat 500 in Europe back in 2007 before Fiat had anything to do with Chrysler so actually Chrysler had no influence on the power-train or design
the 2009-present Fiat 500C is assembled in
Tychy, Poland
Toluca, Mexico
It's curious to read that a lot of people want more power in such a small car: here in Italy there is also a 69hp version and nobody complains, 'cause it's an utilitarian, not a sportscar
I don't think thats possible, octane is simply a chemichal structure... that would be like saying H2O structure is different in depending on the continent, 90 octane is the same here and elsewhere...
give it a real engine and an all-wheel drive system, I would love this little guy.
The roof could go back way more Kyle, it goes all the way down past the back seats!
....name of the song at 8:00 ...???
@blue06lt I don't think they need to try again. It's just not what North America is used to, in Europe they sold an absolutely insane number of these cars and they were voted to be some of the best on the road, all that hype is why they brought it over here.
I love the detail you included in this, but I wish you actually drove the car. That's kind of important if you're going to review it.
@peterlv68 all cars would benefit much more with the use of premium fuel. try premium fuel in your lawnmower to see night and day difference
good first car? looking at one with 104,000 miles
Main competition is the Mini, and THIS is what they came up with cute bubble.
Can you do a fiat pop??
@Toerme I would probably get the Chevy Beat. It reminds me of an arrow and it was a Transformer.
