The FIAT 500C (2009-16) 2DR CONVERTIBLE ABARTH 1.4T-JET 140 EU5 AUTO5 is a small, characterful city car with a folding fabric roof and a sporty Abarth badge. It brings open-air motoring to the familiar Fiat 500 shape, making it a more distinctive alternative to ordinary small hatchbacks and compact convertibles. The turbocharged engine gives it lively performance, while the five-speed automatic suits stop-start town journeys and commuting. Its compact size and cheeky styling make it easy to park and enjoyable on narrow streets, though the two-door layout and limited rear space are better suited to singles or couples than families. Among rivals, the Abarth stands out for its spirited character and Italian design rather than outright practicality or economy.
