So I drove a Fiat 500 this morning. What a great car.
When I first started seeing these cars in pictures and on the internet I had no idea what to expect. I kind of expected to drive a little economy car that had no power and alot of road noise. I was plesantly suprised to find the car drove very well. It had plenty of power (I was driving the 5 speed manual) and I didn't feel like i could hear outside noise all the time. Many small cars on the market sacrifice ride comfort and road noise in the name of fuel economy. Not the 500. Even with the sunroof I had no complants.
I did not get a chance to take it on the highway, but around town it felt like the gearing was right. While traveling at 55km/h the car just made it into 3 rd gear. So I'm sure when I get it on the highway and strech it's legs a little, it will shine just as much as it did around town.
As we get more of these cars in I will keep you updated .
Chris - great review! I loved driving the FIAT 500 last night. It did take me some time to get use to the size of the car, but then I found that was half the fun of it!
