2011 Fiat 500 Overviews

Fiat 500,The little car picks up where the MINI (its most direct competitor) left off 8 years ago. The 500’s cabin slaps you in the face with a reminder that cheap cars don’t have to have cheap looking interiors. At just 140 inches long, the Fiat is 6 inches shorter than the MINI and more than a foot and half shorter than the Ford Fiesta; this car is seriously tiny. The $17,500 model I drove (Sport) throws in larger and better looking wheels, keyless entry, steering wheel controls, and fog lamps. The competition for the Fiat 500 is evenly split between new sub 20K cars (Honda Fit, MINI Cooper, Ford Fiesta, Kia Forte) and quality used cars. It will be interesting to see if Fiat/Chrysler can match MINI USA’s marketing gusto. Unless “standard car ad” is a personality. Only time will tell, but there’s no reason that Fiat shouldn’t able to step up and start eating other advertisers’ lunch with this car.

Remember Fiat? Remember the joke about Fiat meaning “Fix It Again, Tony”? That was the American rap on these cars: Mechanical maladies, early rust, poor resale value, and mediocre service from a rag-tag dealer body. This dramatic comeback is widely credited to Sergio Marchionne, the Italian-Canadian turnaround specialist who took over in 2004 as CEO of Fiat Auto Group, the vehicle division of the Fiat SpA combine. More recently, Fiat formed a global strategic alliance with Chrysler. Future product plans have yet to be finalized, but early reports say Fiat products and platforms will play a significant part in future Chrysler offerings.

There are some interesting parallels between the British-sourced Mini and the U.S.-market Fiat 500. First, both were designed by Frank Stephenson, who joined Fiat after creating the 2002 Mini. (He subsequently moved to head of styling for the Alfa Romeo division, but has since left Fiat’s employ.) The wagon may be a reprisal of the classic Fiat 500 Giardinetta; think Mini Cooper Clubman with an Italian accent. As a 2-door hatchback, which will surely be the mainstay seller, the Fiat 500 is about 5 inches shorter, over an inch slimmer, and 3.2 inches taller than the equivalent Mini Cooper. Both cars have front-wheel drive, pert retro styling, and seating for four. But where the Mini is built on a purpose-designed platform, the Fiat 500 shares underpinnings with Fiat’s entry-level Panda. The interesting new TwinAir 2-cylinder engine is also available in some markets. In the States, the 1.4-liter engine is rated at 101 horsepower.

Like the current Mini, the Fiat 500 is a nostalgia piece, an updated version of a charismatic original. The question is, will American's embrace this Italian import like they have the Mini?
suspect that the enthusiasm flows from confidence about the 500's distinctive personality, which—like BMW's reincarnated Mini Cooper—draws heavily on the car's cultural legacy. "There are 27 million Italian-Americans," says Laura Soave, CEO of Fiat in North America. Those cars, direct competitors with the Fiat 500, lack the "emotion" and "heritage" of the car that defined at least two generations of Italian drivers.

"Even driven hard," Grace says, "you'll get extremely good fuel economy."
The three models first to market are the Pop, Sport and Lounge. All look virtually identical—"cute" is the operative adjective—and have similar dimensions: At 140 inches long, 64 inches wide, 60 inches high and with a wheelbase of 91 inches, the Fiat 500 is slightly smaller than the Mini. Standard equipment is rather spare and includes a five-speed manual transmission, 15-inch wheels and cloth seats. found the car perfectly able, cleverly designed—with fun touches, like the round headrests—and enjoyable to drive

2012 Fiat 500 Review

2012 Fiat 500 Review
Americans bring muscle, the Germans engineering might, and the Asian brands, reliability. Italian automakers may never have been known for world-class quality, or for brilliant marketing, but the eye for a finely turned turn signal, or a pure side-glass silhouette? Va bene? Va bene.

The 2012 Fiat 500 is out in the wild now, streaming out of more than a hundred new Fiat showrooms across the country, as Chrysler and Fiat firm up their alliance and find new, inventive ways to get high-gas-mileage cars to America quickly. The "Fiat 500" is almost a two-seater, by American standards, and a small one at that. It's engaging to drive, if you're used to the subcompact drudgery of the Yaris or the Fit or the Aveo. No one can predict if this truly is the tide-turning moment for small cars in the States.

There was once a car so small it made the Mini seem like a Big. A car so cute the animators of the movie Cars did little to transform one into the adorable "Luigi." Compared to a Mini Cooper, it's 6 inches shorter in overall length and 2 inches narrower. An Italian car built by Chrysler in the same Mexico plant that built the K-Car, the Neon and the PT Cruiser?
The 2012 Fiat 500 is a two-door subcompact hatchback available in Pop, Sport and Lounge trim levels. Standard equipment on the Fiat 500 Pop includes 15-inch steel wheels and chrome-trimmed wheel covers, keyless entry, full power accessories, heated mirrors, air-conditioning, cruise control, a tilt-only steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a trip computer and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack. The Convenience package adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, Fiat's Blue&Me Bluetooth phone connectivity and an iPod/USB audio interface.

The Fiat 500 Sport gains 16-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension tuning, retuned steering, slightly different styling, a roof spoiler, foglamps, sport seats, cloth/vinyl sport upholstery and the Pop's two optional packages. The Safety & Convenience package (automatic transmission required) includes automatic climate control, a compact spare tire and heated front seats.

The 2012 Fiat 500 is powered by a 1.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 101 hp and 98 pound-feet of torque. The 2012 Fiat 500 comes standard with stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, a driver knee airbag, front side airbags and side curtain airbags.

While the Fiat 500's retro styling screams "Mini fighter," its interior raises the decibels even further. If there is one clear demerit for the Fiat it is interior quality that isn't quite up to the Mini's level, but certainly strong for other cars in its modest price range.

Other than the Smart Fortwo, the "Fiat 500" is the smallest car sold in the United States. Backseat legroom is understandably modest compared to other small cars, but it is more generous than what the Mini Cooper offers.

The car, however, is Italian. A Fiat no less. A sign of the changing times, the Fiat 500, or the more fun to say ‘cinquecento’, might be evidence of America’s changing perceptions of small cars.
Upgrading to a Sport model ($17,500) will get you stiffer springs and shocks, 16-inch aluminum wheels, a more audible exhaust note and special bodywork, plus sportier seats with upgraded material, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, handsfree voice controls and an incredibly high-quality 6-speaker Bose audio system.

The Fiat is undoubtedly a European-style city car, designed to give excellent mobility in urban areas with a solid view of your surroundings. The shifter does feel more like an economy car than a premium small car, and doesn’t line up with the likes of the MINI or the Honda Fit.

Pushing it firms-up throttle response and tightens the steering on manual models, delivering a significantly more engaging driving experience. A solid amount of fun in base trim, the Sport model’s stiffer suspension and 16-inch wheels with wider and lower profile 195/45 series tires deliver plenty of grip, allowing you to sail around corners.

Fiat 500 commercial

Following months -- if not years -- of anticipation, Fiat is finally weeks away from reentering the U.S. market with its new 2012 Fiat 500. To help prepare consumers for the launch, its retro compact car, and expose buyers to the brand's Italian heritage, the automaker has launched a new wave of TV commercials.

While Fiat plays up the 500's Italian heritage, the car has been modified for the North American market. Although Fiat says the 500 is aimed directly at the Mini Cooper, the $15,500 base price manages to undercut the British car by $4600.

After nearly three decades away, Italian automaker Fiat is set to sell cars again in the United States, starting with the tiny 500.

I got a closer look at the 2012 Fiat 500 at the LA Auto Show, and it looks like a pretty neat little car. Fiat 500 was seen as the star of the LA Auto Show 2010. "Fiat 500" is the model that brings Fiat brand on the US market after an absence of not less than 27 years.

Even though the small city car came on the North American market with softer suspensions and modified interior, the idea of a Fiat 500 is the same:more suited for ladies, combining the Italian classy style with the perfect shapes and sizes of the crowded city roads.

Fiat Bravo Review

If you want a middle-of-the-road, middle-of-the-range hatchback, you buy a Volkswagen Golf, like hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers across Europe. The Italian company positioned the "" as the best-looking car in its class. The Fiat Bravo was available only as a five-door hatchback and came with the choice of petrol or diesel power. A ¬1.4-litre petrol engine, either with or without turbocharged forced induction, provided a choice of 90bhp, 120bhp or 150bhp, while the 1.9-litre diesel produced 120bhp or 150bhp.

The Fiat Bravo interior is one of its best features. Spend about £600 more and a second-hand Dynamic model adds alloy wheels, dual-sided climate control, cruise control and refrigerated storage under the front arm-rest. The Fiat Bravo falls short of being the class leader because of its lacklustre driving characteristics. Reliability and servicing

All Fiat Bravo require servicing once a year or every 18,000 miles, whichever is sooner — for cars registered after 2008 the mileage limit is 21,000 miles. Prices for tyres and brakes are on a par with rivals. A minor service costs £135-£165, a main one £410.

Know About the 2011 Fiat 500

Consumer Guide’s Impressions of the 2011 Fiat 500
It’s the Italian Mini Cooper: Retro-cute, fun-to-drive small, and super-stingy with gas. What We Know About the 2011 Fiat 500

Remember Fiat? Remember the joke about Fiat meaning “Fix It Again, Tony”? That was the American rap on these cars: Mechanical maladies, early rust, poor resale value, and mediocre service from a rag-tag dealer body. This dramatic comeback is widely credited to Sergio Marchionne, the Italian-Canadian turnaround specialist who took over in 2004 as CEO of Fiat Auto Group, the vehicle division of the Fiat SpA combine.

But where the Mini is built on a purpose-designed platform, the" fiat 500" shares underpinnings with Fiat’s entry-level Panda. Fiat will offer one; perhaps a weight- and fuel-saving automated-manual gearbox.

Today, Peter fills his time writing songs about global warming, which is rather wearisome, but back in 1969 he wrote the definitive guide on how life should be led if Mammon were suddenly to vomit untold riches into your bank account. Aha-haha”.

Similarly, if you were to buy a bolt hole in Paris, as somewhere to keep your old Rolling Stones records, you might go for an apartment on the rue Saint-Honoré. Pah. Nonsense. You should go, as Peter suggests, with “the others of the jet set” to St Moritz.
One chap introduced me to his companion and I’d nearly died of old age by the time he’d finished. God knows where the locals buy a box of Winalot or some bog roll.

Of course, you can buy a watch. Nope. I like this car very much but in St Moritz it was wrong as well. The new Fiat 500. Really cheap. It’s well priced as well.

News coming from Fiat

News coming from Fiat. From today it is possible to order the new Doblò Natural Power version with minimal environmental impact adopting a 1.4 16v T-jet 120 hp Euro 5 (petrol and methane) specifically developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies and designed for maximum integration of the two plants, one petrol and one on the methane (natural gas CNG), independent of each other.

In Italy the new version is available in the fitting Active, Dynamic and Emotion with a list price (turnkey) respectively 20,500 euros, 22,000 euros and 23,500 euros. Be noted that, compared with the corresponding composition of the petrol engine, the amenities of the Natural Power version remain unchanged except for some content that may be required for technical reasons (high roof, 7 seater configuration Family, Start & Stop system and spare wheel of normal size) is standard while the outside temperature sensor.

The biggest news of the new Doblò Natural Power is the adoption of the 1.4 16v T-Jet engine significantly brighter than the 1.6 16v petrol which powered its predecessor. Thanks to turbocharging and intercooler with the presence of the wastegate, it develops a maximum power of 120 hp, both petrol and natural gas, and progressive torque (206 Nm at 2000 IBC / min) that allow him to "turn on" with ease, even with heavy loads.

Is high, therefore, the elasticity
running with reduced use of 6-speed gearbox, for a pleasant and relaxed driving. Just push on the accelerator, however, to have a spirited response, aided by the low inertia of the turbocharger that delivers the highest performance. Moreover, the new Doblò Natural Power confirms a car environment friendly reinforcing its leadership with a level of C02 emissions of 134 g / km on the combined cycle.

Placed under the floor in order to keep its useful volume of the boot (from 790 liters to 3200 liters), the four gas cylinders have a total capacity of 95 liters equal to 16.15 kg and provide a range of 325 km (which becomes 625 km if you add up the kilome through the gas tank of 22 liters). Incidentally, remember that the life of the cylinders is 20 years from date of manufacture, as ECE Regulation No. 110, while the profile of the filler gas (located near that of gasoline) is the universal type, compatible with the standard "Italy" and "NGV1. If the vehicle is registered in other countries, data for certification, identification and control procedures / inspection of gas cylinders comply with the national legislation of that State.
