2017 FIAT 500 vs. Its Competition

2017 Fiat 500c
John Voelcker John Voelcker

The simplified Fiat 500 range has two outstanding values, now at lower prices: the base Pop model, and the same car as with a roll-back cloth roof for just $1,500 more, for more style per dollar than any other small car.

Quick Specs
4.7
The 2017 Fiat 500, in a simplified lineup of models, is still stylish and distinctive after six years; pick the Abarth for driver excitement or the 500c Cabrio for inexpensive soft-top fun
5.6
The 2017 Chevrolet Spark is one of the best tiny cars you can buy in America, with its laudable array of active-safety systems.
6.7
The 2017 Mini Cooper is still one of the most fun cars to drive on the road today.
7.6
The 2016 Fiesta offers fun and features not expected at these prices, but it lacks interior space compared to top rivals.
8.0
The 2016 Honda Fit isn't as entertaining to drive as it once was, but it's unmatched in safety and space, thanks to the Magic Seat.
