The FIAT 500C (2009-16) 2DR CONVERTIBLE ABARTH 1.4T-JET 135 EU5 is a sporty small convertible based on the much-loved 500 city car. Its fabric roof brings open-air fun while retaining a compact, town-friendly shape. In the UK, it adds Abarth character to the city-car class and offers a more distinctive alternative to ordinary small hatchbacks and compact convertibles. With a lively turbocharged engine, bold styling and playful feel, it is more spirited than a regular city car yet remains easy to park. It suits couples, commuters and style-conscious buyers seeking a fun daily drive, though rear space and boot capacity are limited for family use. Against a MINI Convertible, it feels compact and distinctly Italian. Across 834 mycarcheck.com checks of 301 VINs, average private-sale value was £5,300. Mileage averaged 62,000, annual use 4,000 miles and cars had about four previous keepers. Use averages as a guide; check each car carefully.
