2012 Fiat 500C Convertible Reviews

2012 Fiat 500C Convertible outdoor driving excitement of nostalgic old world designs. The new models are the Italian style, functionality, durable, high-performance design and innovative technology for a new generation of drivers.The all-new 2012 Fiat 500 users in the return of the Fiat brand to North America.

There was once a car so small it made the Mini seem like a Big. Now, with Fiat purchasing Chrysler last year, the Fiat 500 has been chosen to be the pioneer model to reintroduce the Fiat brand to North America.

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 as a hardtop or Fiat 500C convertible. 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 (standard on the Fiat 500C) 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.

Also included are 15-inch alloy wheels, exterior chrome accents, foglamps, a fixed glass roof (hatchback only) and upgraded cloth upholstery. The Luxury package adds leather upholstery and upgraded trim.

The good: The 2012 Fiat 500C's looks invite favorable attention from passersby. The bad: The stereo had difficulties integrating with MP3 players, and the stereo interface was poor. The four-cylinder engine is short on power.

Fiat chose well with the Fiat 500C, and its hardtop compatriot the Fiat 500, for re-entering the U.S. market, as this car's retro styling evokes the company's past. As a modern remake of a classic car, the Fiat 500C invites comparisons with the modern Mini Cooper. With base prices well below $20,000, the various Fiat 500 models compete directly with a field of small cars often featuring boring, pedestrian design. Take away its sheet-metal contours, and the Fiat 500C is really just another boring small car. The Fiat 500C variant piles on the style with its roll-back cloth roof. With the top bunched up in back, the rearview mirror only shows large cars, such as SUVs. The phone integration was fine, easily pairing with an iPhone, downloading the phonebook, and allowing dialing by name through voice command.

2011 Fiat Sport Car Abarth 500C Convertible

2011 Fiat Sport Car Abarth 500C Convertible

Fiat has unveiled the exciting new Abarth 500C Convertible, the new Abarth 500C will go on sale first in Italy and shortly after in the rest of Europe. The 2011 Fiat 500C Abarth comes with a new body and exterior expanded by an elegant two-tone color scheme. In addition to enhancing the aggressive appearance of the 500C, the spoiler effectively boosts CZ loading and creates a smoother air flow.

The roof slides down while the pillars and structural roof line remains, providing a stronger chassis than a traditional soft top. An innovative spoiler slides down with the soft top. Power is at 140 hp which takes the car to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds.

A side from the male population looking for a relatively affordable cabrio with some punch, Fiat claims that the new open-topped car was also made to appeal to women customers "who seek design and elegance but also appreciate the performance of a true sports car."

The Abarth Fiat 500C is powered by a 1.4 16v Turbo T-Jet engine developing 140bhp that can take the small open top from 0 to 62 mph in 8.1 seconds. The top speed of the Abarth Fiat 500C is rated at 127mph. The car has an official fuel consumption of 43mpg.

In detail, the engine is a 1368 cc 4 cylinder 16 valve unit (turbo charged with a fixed geometry IHI RHF3-P turbocharger) that delivers exhilarating performance. Top speed is 205 km/h while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes place in just 8.1 seconds. This is partly achieved by the overboost function, activated by the Sport button that modulates control unit mapping and turbo pressure in addition to load on the steering wheel. Yet this typically Abarth performance comes with very frugal fuel consumption: 6.5 l/100 km over a combined cycle.
