    Default Fiat 500

    Who would drive one? I have to be honest, I'd take it over just about any other compact being made right now... Seems fun enough when Clarkson and May drive it...

    yeah it seems like one of those cars that would be fun for the novelty of it, but once thats worn off, it would just be a bummer to live with.

    I agree with that. It wouldn't be so bad if it were a little more practical. ie. having more cargo room.

    Just saw my neighbor in one of these didn't know you could get them stateside. It's sick though.

    I would have to agree. It would be fun for a while but eventually it would wear off.

    There is a Fiat dealership in Buford.


    To the OP, I'd drive it. Would it be my first choice? Hell no, but I won't knock it.

    The first time I'd seen one personally was at IA in Atlanta. I'd known they were coming stateside. Fiat bought the governments share of Chrysler so they have all kinds of possible crossover platforms to start their own vehicles. I'd drive one but I'd look around at my other options before just purchasing one.

    The definition of practical varies from person to person. To you, practical seems to be more room. To another, it might mean just simply a way to get from point Z to point B. Someone that has a long commute and needs a good gas mileage car strictly to get to work and back could view this as practical. Later, QD.

    It would be practical for a daily commuter to and from work. Id personally take a Smart Car over the new Fiat.

    I love them, but I have a 17month old and a wife, so I'm out of that market for a while!

    Practicality does vary from person to person.

    Saw one on the road the other day and I got to say I am not to fond of it now... Maybe if it was slammed....

    Looks like an Audi A3 slammed hard into the back of a VW Bettle.

    Looks great to me. Perfect package for what it is meant for. I would like to go check it out at Fiat @ Southlake.
