The FIAT 500C (2009-16) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 0.9 TWINAIR SS 105 EU6 LOUNGE is a small, two-door city car with a folding fabric roof, bringing open-air motoring to the familiar retro-styled Fiat 500. It sits in the UK’s fashionable small-car market rather than offering the space or practicality of a family hatchback. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 100 checks covering 30 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of this particular model. The checks show an average private-sale valuation of £5,800, average recorded mileage of 59,000 miles and annual mileage of 5,000 miles; owners have averaged just over two previous keepers. These figures are guideposts from the cars checked, not a promise of condition or price. The lively 105bhp TwinAir engine and Lounge trim add appeal. It suits commuters, couples and first-time buyers, though rear-seat space is limited. More compact than a MINI Convertible, it brings affordable open-air fun and easy city parking, too.
