FIAT 500 Abarth Cabrio Operation - How the Fiat 500c Convertible Cloth Top Works - ABTL Auto Extras

The convertible top on a FIAT 500c is unlike the convertibles we are used to here in the U.S. Chances are you have only seen this type of convertible if you are familiar with French movies from the 60's directed by people with names you cannot pronounce. The base price on the FIAT 500 Abarth Cabrio is $26,000.

Unlike a standard convertible, the FIAT 500c's cloth roof slides back to leave the side pillars and door frames in place. The cabrio can be opened in 3 ways offering a sunroof effect, a panoramic sunroof, and a completely open setting which folds the top into the trunk. The FIAT will automatically stop the roof at any of the 3 various positions.
Like most convertibles, the FIAT 500 Cabrio's cloth top takes up much of the available trunk space. When you have a car as small as the FIAT 500c to begin with, that is quite a big problem. If you want to put anything in the trunk, the FIAT 500c top will automatically close itself.

It's not freeing up space in the trunk because it doesn't go in the trunk. The reason it moves back up is because the lid wouldn't open otherwise.

[@erikahlander1878]

Yea, it kinda sits 'above' the trunk so it doesn't matter if its up or down, you have still got the same space

[@calebshubert3972]

The top doesn't even go in the trunk, get your facts right

[@leonb5293]

It's not an A-BARTH it's an Ah-barth

Love the ELF comment ❤

[@breathe_grace_]

Why does the trunk not open after 9 times

[@toddruel5630]

Actually, the convertible top goes back to the 1950 Nash Rambler Landau: 1950 Nash Rambler commercial

[@asahrs]

That was lame! The roof doesnt even go into the trunk!! Get your facts straight

I found his comment about locking a "dwarf" in the trunk, extremely rude. I think autobytel should stick with their regular reviewers. Or at least a reviewer who can pronounce the freakin name of the car. Very disappointing

[@MCJimboy10]

Ah, you're a snowflake. How can the dwarf joke upset you?

[@Fox-86]

Thanks for cramming RUclips with yet another useless "review". Thumbs down

[@RF-gh7bs]

You really do not know what your talking about. How would you open the trunk with open roof??? Exactly, thats why, not because of more space 😂🙄🥴
