The FIAT 500C (2009-16) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.2 8V SS 69 EU6 S DUALOGIC AUTO5 is a small, style-led city car with a fabric roof for open-air motoring. It keeps the familiar Fiat 500 footprint, making it easier to park and manoeuvre than larger convertibles, while its five-speed automated gearbox avoids a clutch pedal. It suits urban commuters, first-time drivers and couples wanting an individual runabout rather than family space or brisk performance. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is modest, so expect relaxed progress; the folding roof adds charm without making it a full-size cabriolet. Against rivals such as the MINI Convertible, the 500C is more compact and typically a more affordable way into drop-top motoring.
