Everyone saying that there is no back seat should be slapped. This isn't your daddy's caddy. This is a sophisticated euro style car that the American public has needed for years now. The engineers who made this design are simply put, "brilliant"! They made it smaller than a mini but with a BIGGER back seat than the mini. Hopefully if your one of the people talking about the back seat I would assume you would hate the mini as well.
What reliabiliy issues? Maybe some minor faulty electronics, otherwise this car is mechanically reliable. In the case something gets broken it costs almost nothing to fix, here in Europe
Anyone know what the "eco-drive" option is in the voice command list? By this I mean, is it just an on-off switch for an Econ mode, or is there more to it?
@pareody though i do like theyre sound quality, it is pretty good if you dont like too much bass but like high quality music. yes they are overpriced though. prices should be at least 40% cheaper,
It has an Italian name only, and not even a good one at that. For $ 20,000 I can find better, than a "can of Tuna" I just saw. thank you for the presentation.
Bring on the cheap chop-tops! No longer do we have to pay $30k+ for the privilege. Ok, so there's the MX5. I'd rather have the new, lightened version of that when it comes out.
@jerrry13157 Thats the only reason I won't buy one, 15k+ for a tiny car with hardly any options is more than I'm willing to pay! Much rather use the 15k+ and buy a used BMW or Audi.
Gutless is right. If you thought civics were slow, you haven't experienced slow like this. Just be prepared if you stomp on it that nothing happens. I found that going easy on the pedal makes it go better without you thinking that you're killing the engine. That being said, I think its alright. I like the experience of it being small and nimble. The suspension is awesome. You can take those corners as hard and fast as you want. The interior quality is Dodge shit. The rental I drove had 20K on it and the USB/Aux port were loose. I definitely need to try the Abrath or even the manual version of the standard 500. I suppose that will make the experience more fun.
ohhhh lets wait for the Abarth!!! this one may be a great daily driver so my SRT4 and my GSX can rest during the week and I can drop my 07 civic si straight to the lot!!!!! Fiat: just dont make more publishing with Jennifer LOpez SHE NEARLY KILL MY DESIRE TO BUY THIS CAR
@@briansalmon1666 Planning on getting one used, that`s the million dollar question, why every page says it`s one of the worst if it`s a big hit in Europe since 2007??? I think the media wants to sabotage them, right? Cheers!
@1234fllf Something tells me you also vote republican, believe that supply-side economics actually work, and think Reagan was responsible for dissolving the USSR.
This was one of the best regular consumer car reviewers. Where is he now..? Miss his reviews
bose has taken over the sound industry
Hip little car. I hope more Americans will start rethinking their oversized suburbans and durangos
Terrific review you are so enjoyable to listen to we just bought that car and I love it for all the reasons you mentioned plus more
nice longer car reviews from cnet. keep more of these coming!
@IRickyValentine the 2012 model>? because the epa is 28-40

Planning on getting one used, big hit in Europe, big reliability issues in the US, which one to trust???

Row your motor…

I did see one of these the other day in midtown and I was curious… thank you for clarifying.
@anijon Compare to a Honda toyota prius c or even a smart for two its not expensive
BRIAN, can you review the FIAT 500 POP ....thanks....
Ive actually seen a lot more of these on the road than i expected, definitely better than a smart!
you guys should create a cars only channel. id subscribe to this one but i dont want all the other videos showing up in my sub box
@pareody i know seriously, all they are is rubber and honestly all sound very similar
How did Brian get in that red one?...O_O
@AKATECHSUPPORT dare you say, a hipstermobile?
@WITCG1 really>??? how you'd be paying??? please lmk...
Fix It Again Tony!
Yay! I was waiting for this review.
@pareody though i do like theyre sound quality, it is pretty good if you dont like too much bass but like high quality music. yes they are overpriced though. prices should be at least 40% cheaper,
Your in Pt. Richmond!!
I'm buying one in Thursday
It has an Italian name only, and not even a good one at that.
For $ 20,000 I can find better, than a "can of Tuna" I just saw.
thank you for the presentation.
30/38 manual
focus gets 28/40 auto and is quite bigger and higher end
6 inches shorter than a mini, narrower, and slightly taller...
(?????????)
yes, that’s perfect
He should have reviewed the Abarth version

@lotsblocks Ya they have. Its unfortunate though because they aren't the best and way over priced. You can get better. lol
The way he said fiat 😂😂
@crammage i agree
i saw that car on the parking lot! :D
@jerrry13157 Thats the only reason I won't buy one, 15k+ for a tiny car with hardly any options is more than I'm willing to pay! Much rather use the 15k+ and buy a used BMW or Audi.
@jianson870621 The crew used an oversized shoe horn! lol
@crammage ya, that is true they are pretty unreliable. Im not sure if this car would be much better however. The roof is pretty sick though!
lol 3:45 "blah blah... $500 bucks!"
Love it!
This is a great car euro ftw
dis is on my bday :D
Too expensive for what you get. You are definitely paying extra for the name/european style of the car.
I'll stick with my Honda Fit with a real back seat

It Seems. Superb! miniature ashamed What's your opinion about that, guys 11
I would buy a Mini.
I don't think there is a way to make this thing look or sound intimidating. :P
its a cool car, but ide rather get a mini
if you want more powerthere's always ABARTH
Give me the view readings on that video clip!
IT'S UNDER THREE HUNDRED!!!
@proteuseffects that's what i thought when he said it hahhaa
Bello!
Give me a little, all electric sport car with enough air bags to save me from a hummer and I'll buy a fiat.
hello
mpgs are disappointing...
@pareody minis fall apart
big price, small car
labrodog doodles?????
ohhhh lets wait for the Abarth!!! this one may be a great daily driver so my SRT4 and my GSX can rest during the week and I can drop my 07 civic si straight to the lot!!!!!
Fiat: just dont make more publishing with Jennifer LOpez SHE NEARLY KILL MY DESIRE TO BUY THIS CAR
I want taco bell!
@lotsblocks All speakers of any time in general though are overpriced!!

@vaiol123 lol @ you making this huge assumption that i'm a republican even thou i haven't been in the US since i was 5...
Im eight!!!!!
It's the hipster car...

@vothry MX5 s are so crappy. Mazdas in general are bad
Rediculosly overpriced.
I'd rather spend $3000 more and get a volvo c30
worst car - never get this car, worst relibility score in Consumer Report.
you don’t have a clue...it’s not the worst car ever and it’s very, very reliable. I have one and it has 198,797 miles on and I had no issues at all
