Pint-size crossovers are all the rage at the moment, but that doesn't mean Fiat is late to the party.
The Chevrolet Trax and the Buick Encore are essentially the same vehicle underneath, although the Buick's interior is a nicer place to spend time.
The Mazda CX-3 is decidedly tight inside, but it offers the best driving dynamics in its class.
The Honda HR-V is also quite small, but delivers a full dose of traditional Honda virtues and it drives very well.
Then there's the Jeep Renegade, which is built alongside the 500X.
The two are essentially identical underneath, but the Fiat is a little more fun to drive and the Jeep can crawl up a dirt road a little better.
