<title><![CDATA[Fiat 500 C 1.2 : SAVING ON THE OPEN C]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Is the cheapest Fiat 500 C also the best? Steve Walker reports.Looks are vital to the car buying decisions that people arrive at and with a car like the Fiat 500 C, they're even more so. Fiat's endearing convertible city car is all about style and desirability, so shouldn't it follow that the model to go for is the one that delivers those qualities at the lowest possible price? The Italian manufacturer would prefer that everyone specified their 500 C models to the nines and opted for the tastiest engine option but could the unassuming 1.2-litre petrol unit with a basic spec be a smarter move?How much cute can you cram into one car? Well, even the Tichy manufacturing plant in Poland where Fiat builds this convertible version of its 500 city car has a cute name. It's tempting to imagine the facility as a Willy Wonka style operation where the cars float on rivers of golden syrup down assembly lines run by a green-skinned chorus line of the vertically challenged. A factory of fun where the foreman is a talking spoon and there's a gingerbread man in middle management. This probably isn't the case, although Fiat has reported an upsurge in requests for factory visits since launching its lovable 500C. Sitting at the bottom of the 500 C engine line-up, the 1.2-litre unit is nothing to get overly excited about. It's a 1,242cc 8-valve 4-cylinder engine that produces a maximum of 69bhp at 5,500rpm and only 102Nm of torque. At least the 500 C is both lightweight and used primarily for short journeys in urban areas. This means that the engine isn't asked to work too hard and should be exposed to the open road, where its lack of punch might be more evident, only infrequently. The 0-60mph sprint time is nothing to be ashamed of at 12.9s and is less than half a second down on the range-topping diesel engine. With a top speed of 99mph, occasional motorway jaunts are far from out of the question. A choice of transmissions is available, with the 500 C getting a five-speed manual gearbox as standard while presenting customers with the option of upgrading to the Dualogic robotised semi-automatic gearbox."The 1.2-litre Pop model is probably the pick of the range"It's hard not to appreciate the lovable looks of the standard 500 city car. Borrowing its retro design themes straight from the 1950s original, it's undeniably a model with the rare capacity to bring a smile to your face. The convertible 500 C version cranks the cute factor up a couple of notches and it also has its roots in Fiat's past as we're told it pays homage to the original 500 cabriolet of 1957. It's better to think of the roof arrangement as a huge canvas sunroof rather than a full folding canopy. At the touch of a button, the entire centre section of the roof retracts into a concertinaed bundle just above the boot. It's not the most elegant piece of engineering but the sight of car with its roof retracted adds to the retro appeal and with the roof-up, it's tough to tell a convertible 500 from a hard-top one. The roof itself features a glass rear window and is available in a choice of colours, so buyers can personalise their car. The simple roof arrangement also means that there's a decent amount of room in the rear seats of the 500 C. There are some convertible cars twice the size of the little Fiat that are stingier with the legroom they lay on for passengers in the back. Delicious design details drip from the 500's interior. It's like a tiny pearl, especially when the ivory finish is specified. There's a very well-judged blend of retro chic and ruthlessly modern contemporary design inside, with circular head restraints and neat 500 C badging on the Panda-sourced dashboard. Chrome-ringed vents and a fascia that can be specified in the same colour as the body are other highlights. The premium required to step up from this 1.2-litre model to the 1.4 is £1,200 - a lot of money on an £11,000 car. There are two trim levels available and even the basic Pop models comes with electrically-operated roof, air-conditioning, remote central locking, a CD stereo with MP3 compatibility, electric door mirrors and seven airbags. The alternative trim level is the Lounge and these models add ESP stability control, front fog lights, Bluetooth connectivity, climate control and rear parking sensors to make manoeuvring in tight spaces even easier. The Lounge comes at a premium of £1,400, however, and so looks considerably less affordable than the entry-level cars. There aren't a whole lot of convertible cars based on city car platforms on the market at the moment and particularly in 1.2-litre guise, the 500 C is one of the most affordable ways to get a taste of open-top motoring. The alternatives tend to be based on larger superminis and packing complicated folding hard-top roofs which pump up the expense and increase the weight, which then impacts on economy. Predictably, the engines powering the diminutive 500 C turn in strong fuel economy and emissions figures. The diesel in particular will be a good choice for those looking to keep running costs under control but the 1.2-litre doesn't disgrace itself. The combined cycle economy is 50mpg and emissions are measured at 119g/km. Fiat has also taken further steps to boost the car's environmental credentials with its StartandStop technology and a clever system called eco:Drive. Bundled up with the BlueandMe Bluetooth telephone system on the Lounge models, eco:Drive is a computer that monitors your driving style and offers tips on how you can improve your fuel economy. We're used to the idea of paying through the nose for items deemed to be on the cutting edge of fashion but Fiat's 500 C provides a welcome break from all that. The little convertible is one of the trendiest small cars on the road at the moment and it's just as liable to turn heads whether you've plumped for the entry-level 1.2-litre car of shelled out for a range-topper. For that reason, provided you can live with a slight lack of straight line speed, the 1.2-litre Pop model is probably the pick of the range.Facts At A Glance CAR: Fiat 500 C 1.2 PRICES: £11,300-£12,700 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 3 CO2 EMISSIONS: 119g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-62mph 12.9s / Max Speed 99mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (urban) 44.1mpg / (extra urban) 65.7mpg / (combined) 55.4mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Seven airbags, ABS WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Heightmm 3546/1627/1488mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Fiat Scudo Van Range : DO YOU DO SCUDO?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Fiat's Scudo certainly stands out from the small panel van crowd on looks but can it attract buyers who prioritise more practical criteria. Steve Walker reportsUnadventurous, derivative, dull; these charges and others like them are becoming tougher and tougher to level at modern panel vans. This category of commercial vehicles was once the very embodiment of function over form but in recent years the leading manufacturers have unshackled their designers somewhat, allowing them freedom to inject a spark of creativity into the mix. Where once choosing a panel van for your business was largely an exercise in statistical analysis, now buyers must also ask themselves which model they most like the look of. Fiat hope their latest Scudo will attract its fair share of admirers.There are certainly some distinctive-looking panel vans out there at the moment but manufacturers remain unwilling to shoulder the development costs of these vehicles alone. That's why we see new models brought to market by groups of manufacturers with each individual marque branding the vehicle as their own. This Scudo, like its predecessor and its bigger brother the Ducato, is a product of Fiat's alliance with PSA Peugeot Citroen so you can also get it badged as a Citroen Dispatch or a Peugeot Expert. It's an unorthodox-looking van whatever insignia adorns its grille with a steeply raked windscreen, a huge front bumper and dramatically elongated headlamps. The styling themes are definitely more Peugeot than Fiat with the large front overhang and the bonnet that rises at the edges before easing up into the A-pillars. Half close your eyes, stand on your head and on a foggy morning, you could almost mistake it for a 407. The Scudo is one of the smaller panel vans you'll encounter on your commercial vehicle search but, crucially, it's not as small as the old Scudo model it replaced. During its marathon innings that stretched from 1995 to 2007, that model sold some 350,000 units partly because there was nothing else on the market quite like it in terms of size - with the obvious exception of its Citroen and Peugeot sister vehicles. Where the old Scudo slotted into the no van's land between smaller panel vans like the Volkswagen Transporter and larger little vans like Ford's Transit Connect, this model goes head to head with the first group. If it's going to beat these rivals on a level playing field, it will need to be good."The Multijet diesel engines are predictably strong"The Scudo range is far broader than before. Buyers can vary the available load space in their model by selecting from two wheelbases (L1 and L2) and two roof heights (H1 and H2). This gives rise to payload capacities between 1,000kg and 1,200kg with load volumes of 5m3, 6m3 or 7m3. The Scudo offers a class-leading loading height of just 490mm (which the optional air-suspension can drop further) and impressive load access with full-height rear doors and a sliding side door on each flank. With openings of 924mm wide, these sliding side doors are big enough to take a standard Euro pallet. This, along with the 1,245mm loading width between the wheelarches and the square shape of the loadbay generally, helps make the Scudo one of the best small panel vans when it comes to accommodating larger objects. As well as the panel van models, Fiat are also offering platform cabs ready to take all manner of conversions and Combi models with between five and nine seats aimed at taxi firms or even buyers with large families who may have been considering a large MPV. The cab area is impressively spacious for two passengers with firm, supportive seating and plenty of adjustment in the driving position. If you specify the front bench expecting to get three across the front row, you may be disappointed as the dash-mounted gear lever severely restricts legroom for the middle passenger. The light grey plastics aren't of the soft-touch variety but they do seem tough and the layout of the controls is largely conventional with all the important stuff sited on the steering column itself. For storage there are narrow door pockets, a large pot in front of the passenger and a small glovebox but you might need that third front seat to sit larger items on. The overhead shelf increases the oddment space available but you have to reach up and feel about blindly for anything you've put in there, so leave that box of roofing tacks in the glovebox. Standard equipment includes a CD stereo, power steering, remote central locking and a height adjustable driver's seat. The Scudo cabin sits noticeably lower than other small panel vans and this has advantages when it comes to getting in and out. You don't have to hoist yourself up to the driving seat and once you're there, the actual driving position is more like that of an MPV than a van. This has advantages in terms of comfort on longer trips but you do loose out a little on visibility. The Scudo sits you a long way back from the base of its steeply raked windscreen, so it's hard to pinpoint where the nose of the van is on parking manoeuvres and the long front overhang means that the turning circle isn't particularly tight. On the open road, the Scudo is very pleasant to drive with the suspension taking care of the bumps admirably and the light steering easily adjustable. The Scudo corners with good body control for such a high-sided vehicle and the braking is assured with ABS and EBD as standard. Without a full bulkhead, noise levels in the cab are quite high but the Multijet diesel engines are predictably strong. Don't necessarily let the modest 1.6-litre capacity of the Scudo's entry-level engine put you off. This 90bhp unit chips in with a sizable 180Nm torque rating and it will be more than adequate if you do most of your driving around town. The 2.0-litre engines are stronger for those carrying bigger loads on longer trips. There's the choice of 120bhp or 140bhp power here and that means torque of 300Nm or 320Nm, both at a lowly 2,000rpm. These are excellent commercial vehicles engines with strong economy and power enough to make you question the need for the lager 2.5-litre units employed by some rivals. The 120bhp 2.0-litre is probably the pick of the range. The Fiat Scudo is definitely a strong product with flamboyant styling for a panel van but whether it has the wherewithal to tempt buyers away from their Vivaros and Transporters remains to be seen. Where the previous Scudo had its unique halfway house dimensions to set it apart, this larger Scudo must tackle the class leaders directly. Many will choose it on merit with the punchy, economical engines, cab comfort and versatile load area being particular draws but ultimately, Fiat will be happy to settle for a smaller slice of a larger pie.Facts At A Glance VAN: Fiat Scudo van range ENGINES: 90bhp 1.6 / 120bhp 2.0 / 140bhp 2.0 / Multijet diesels MAXIMUM PAYLOAD: 1,000kg-1,200kg LOAD VOLUME: 5m3-7m3 KERB WEIGHT: (panel vans) 1,661kg-1,763kg]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Fiat Fiorino Combi : SPATIAL AWARENESS]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Fiat has a small van that can seat five and hold their luggage. Steve Walker takes a look.Combi is a common term in commercial vehicle circles. It's used by a number of manufacturers to indicate a van that has had some extra seats installed in its load bay. You might expect to see it attached to a panel van or some other suitably roomy model but Fiat's Fiorino? This is one of the smallest purpose-built vans on the market, yet a Combi version there is. Once the default reaction of "I'm not getting in the back of that" has subsided, the Fiorino Combi might just surprise a few people with its capacity and versatility.The Fiorino is Fiat's smallest purpose-built van. The Italian firm will also supply you with a commercial version of its Punto supermini but its teeny load carrying capacity precludes it for many. The Fiorino delivers a reasonably spacious load bay coupled with micro dimensions that should make the cuts and thrusts of metropolitan motoring that bit easier to avoid. The van, like the mainstay of Fiat's light commercial vehicle range, was created in partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroen. This means that prospective buyers can obtain vehicles that are borderline identical to the Fiorino in the shape of the Peugeot Bipper and Citroen Nemo. This Combi version also has a close relative in the shape of the Qubo, a model from the Fiat passenger car range that also amounts to a Fiorino with seats but is more opulently appointed than the Combi. The engine line up is unsurprisingly made up of small, economical units. As well as a 1.4-litre petrol engine, Fiat has installed its acclaimed 75bhp 1.3-litre Multijet oil-burner, an extremely compact and lightweight affair that gives rise to excellent fuel economy and with 190Nm of torque, it feels strong as well. With that maximum torque produced at 1,750rpm, the Fiorino has the punchy element to its performance that's perfect for darting in and out of traffic. It also has the accurate steering and tight turning circle that operators want when space is tight."For a vehicle of just under four-meters in length, the Fiorino Combi uses its space very effectively"The 1.4-litre petrol alternative has 73bhp. Here torque of 118Nm is produced at 2,600rpm so there's less urgency at low revs but the petrol is smooth, refined and, crucially, costs less. Petrol tends to be routinely avoided by van buyers but the low-mileage, urban usage for which the Fiorino was designed might make unleaded a viable option for some. All models get a five-speed manual gearbox as standard but the diesel is available with the 6-speed ComfortMatic sequential manual transmission which can operate in automatic mode. From the outside, things don't look promising. The Fiorino Combi shares the pleasantly chunky styling of the van version with the only visual clue to its additional seating being small extra side windows behind the front ones. It's just hard to imagine five people and even a little bit of cargo fitting comfortably inside when you view the thing from across the street. Happily, the Fiat Fiorino is bigger than it looks and five occupants do fit. Getting three across the rear bench seat might be difficult if they're of the burlier persuasion and access is hindered by the presence of only one sliding side door (a second is optional) but legroom is OK and there's loads of fresh air overhead. With the seats in use, there's a handy 360-litres of cargo space behind. When they're not, the backs fold down and the bases tumble forward to yield 2,500 litres, which is only 300-litres down on the capacity of the Fiorino van. The interior of the Fiorino will feel a little confined to those familiar with full size compact vans but there's reasonable space for driver and passenger. The driving position is upright and affords a good view of the Fiorino's surroundings with the seat and the steering wheel offering a good range of adjustability. Storage space is less generous than in models from the next class up but with 12 compartments to choose from, there should be room for most of the essentials. Lots of the switchgear in the Fiorino will be familiar to owners of Fiat passenger cars and these days the Italian firm is well up to speed in terms of build quality. The general impression is one of user-friendliness and sturdy design, just what you want. The Fiorino Combi should prove extremely economical to run, particularly in Multijet diesel from where combined economy of nearly 63mpg is not out of the question. The petrol is rather less impressive, achieving just over 40mpg and emissions of 165g/km compared to the diesel's 119g/km. Fiat has also worked hard to minimise repair costs for the van and to extend service intervals. There are no trim levels as such with the Fiorino Combi but quite a few optional extras to mull over. Standard spec is quite basic but includes a nearside sliding side door, 15" steel wheels, side windows for the second row with a hinged opening, PVC floor lining for the load area, carpet for the forward areas, power steering, a driver's airbag, three-point belts for all seats and a CD stereo. The options list has stuff like air-conditioning, a Bluetooth hands free phone system, remote central locking, an automatic gearbox, a second sliding side door and front fog lights on it. Fiat also offers the Fiorino in some particularly lurid paint colours for operators who like to make an impact. For a vehicle of just under four-meters in length, the Fiorino Combi uses its space very effectively. It has five usable seats and, even when those are all being used, a reasonable amount of luggage capacity. With only one or two people on board, the seats in the back can be folded and the result is carrying capacity that isn't too far shy of a standard Fiorino van. The number of operators who need a five-seater vehicle of the Fiorino Combi's modest dimensions will be limited but as a cost-effective way of moving people and equipment around town, it has a lot going for it.Facts At A Glance MANUFACTURER: Fiat MODEL: Fiorino Combi BHP: 73bhp - 75bhp PAYLOAD CAPACITY: 175-293kg LOAD VOLUME: 2.5m3 GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT: 1,680kg - 1,700kg LENGTH: 3,959mm WIDTH: 1,589mm HEIGHT: 1,721mm July 24th 2009]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Fiat's Bravo is its most competitive family hatchback yet. Andy Enright reportsInstant desirability is a commodity in short supply in the family hatch sector. These cars major on common sense rather than sassiness but the new Fiat Bravo offers some real eye candy. Team that with massively improved build quality and some great powerplants and you have what looks to be a very strong proposition.Styling will only get you so far if the car drives poorly. Several manufacturers have found this to their cost but the new Bravo comes up trumps on that score. It's not far off the class leaders when it comes to sharp handling through a series of twisties and the selection of engines is, by and large, better than the more obvious Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra offerings. Petrol engines first. The range opens with a 90bhp normally aspirated 1.4-litre unit. Most buyers however, will go for the responsive T-Jet turbocharged versions of this engine in either 120 or 150bhp guise. These use the latest turbocharger technology to offer punchy performance with decent fuel economy and low exhaust emissions. The diesel engines are also a big draw, Fiat leveraging its experience to great effect. Two 1.6-litre MultiJet diesels are offered, with either 105 or 120bhp, plus a 2.0-litre unit with 165bhp. In the Active and Dynamic trim levels, the 1.6 Multijet engine is also available in an Eco option, reducing the engine's CO2 emissions from 129g/km to 119g/km and boosts the Bravo's combined fuel consumption from 57.6 to 62.8 mpg. The more powerful 2.0-litre diesel has some real muscle to it, getting the Bravo from rest to 62mph in 8.2 seconds and topping 130mph. With 360Nm of torque available, it's not going to have any problem putting irksome white van men in their place, that torque output superior to something like a Subaru Impreza WRX. It's easy to forgive the Bravo any minor shortcomings when you walk round the car, taking in its beautifully integrated detailing and elegant proportions. Many five door hatches are about as beguiling as the prospect of an evening spent creosoting your mother-in-law's fence, but the Bravo is different. Just as the Grande Punto added a touch of the exotic to the supermini class, so the new Bravo does the same for cars the next size up. Though this isn't the largest car in the class, there's a decent amount of luggage space in that curved rump. The interior feels very well built. Bright finish plastics lift the cabin and the controls are easy to figure out without recourse to the manual. It all looks agreeably Italianate as well. Fiat has really got the hang of the whole soft-touch dashboard moulding in recent years and the new Bravo's supple, textured finish wouldn't look out of place in an Audi."The Italians could be onto something hereā¦"There's no shortage of equipment either. The big draw for family buyers is undoubtedly the amount of safety gear Fiat has packed into the new Bravo. Winner of a coveted five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, the Bravo sits squarely at the top of its category with a total of 33 points on the NCAP scorecard. The Bravo is the product of over 60 crash tests, 15,000 hours of computer simulations, 150 simulations with a crash sled and more than 100 crash tests on components and subsystems. The Bravo features two front airbags, two front side bags, two window bags and a knee airbag for the driver. ABS anti-lock braking with electronic brakeforce distribution and the latest generation ESP stability control system should prevent the worst coming to the worst. The ESP system includes functions such as anti-slip regulation (ASR) to limit wheelspin in slippery conditions, and engine torque regulation which prevents the driven wheels locking up during rapid downshifts. Hydraulic brake assist boosts pedal pressure in emergency situations and there's even a hill-holder function to take the faff out of hill starts. Pricing looks highly competitive with mainstream rivals Prices start at around £11,000 for the entry-level 1.4-litre petrol model, with the diesels priced from around £14,000. These low upfront prices allied with improving Fiat brand residuals create a car that's very class competitive in terms of that crucial pence per mile figure after a typical three year ownership period. Economy figures naturally vary according to which model you choose, but both petrol and diesel versions really are worth looking out for, even if you're not a penny pincher. There's a lot to like about a 150bhp diesel Bravo, with storming mid-range acceleration, yet which will nevertheless average over 50mpg. Overall, the Bravo looks to be Fiat's strongest offering in this sector for some years, and I'd be more than happy to twitch the curtains and see that shape sitting outside my house. What it certainly represents is a rather beautiful alternative to the more lumpen offerings we've become used to. It's there or thereabouts in most of the dynamics areas and is decently packaged. Given that on most objective scorecards it makes the numbers, it might come down to styling. Fiat is confident. The Italians could be onto something hereā¦..Facts At A Glance CAR: Fiat Bravo range PRICES: £13,255-£17,650 - on the road INSURANCE GROUPS: 4-10 CO2 EMISSIONS: 119-167g/km PERFORMANCE: [2.0 MultiJet 165] 0-60mph 8.2s/ Max Speed 134mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [2.0 MultiJet 165] (combined) 53mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: twin front/side/window airbags, driver's knee airbag, ABS WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: length/width/height 4336/1792/1498mm]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Fiat 500 C 1.3 Multijet : RETRO AIR STYLE]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Car And Driving - Fiat's 500C is an achingly pretty little convertible but why fit a diesel engine? Steve Walker takes a look.Some cars suit a nice sensible diesel engine but you wouldn't really group the Fiat 500C amongst them. Would you? This convertible version of the sweet 500 city car isn't a vehicle usually bought following an exhaustive analysis of the facts and figures: it's one that people glimpse and fall in love with. From that fateful nanosecond, a purchase is almost inevitable. So why would you choose an object of desire like the 500C and equip it with an intensely sensible diesel engine? It will probably be something to do with its potential for fuel economy of nearly 70mpg, but that's hardly in the true spirit of this Fiat.At this stage it's safe to label the Fiat 500 a runaway success. Such an outcome was never really in doubt from the moment the covers first fell from its retro bodywork. MINI had shown what was possible with an old classic updated for the modern era and Fiat had both the perfect design and the ideal platform to pull it off. The 500C is the convertible version of the 500 citycar and if anything, this open-topped model is an even more seductive prospect for the people who go fuzzy with nostalgia at the sight of those rounded lines and circular headlamps. With Fiat's diesel engine, it can even turn in some of the best economy figures you'll get this side of a solar-powered moped. The 1.3-litre Multijet diesel engine appears across the Fiat range and is amongst the best small diesel engines about. In the 500C, it can reach the 60mph barrier in a reasonable 13s, so it's a shade faster than the 1.2-litre entry-level engine. It will also reach a 103mph top speed. In comparison to the other 500 engines, it fares even better around town where torque of 145Nm, the strongest of any non-Abarth 500, gives it useful muscle. There's still a flat spot at the very bottom of the rev range while the turbo gets going but it's brief and can be negated by staying on top of the gears."Regardless of the engine, fun should be guaranteed"The driving experience will be a virtual irrelevance to lots of Fiat 500 C buyers. They'll have already fallen in love with the car in a brochure, on a TV ad or upon seeing one in the street. Nevertheless, the car promises to be fairly adept on the road with the same basic set-up as the hard-topped 500, a chassis that's also shared with the Fiat Panda and Ford Ka. A rear-anti-roll bar stiffens things up and the electric power steering is shared with other 500 models. Fiat's fuel saving StartandStop technology is also available. It's hard not to appreciate the lovable looks of the standard 500 city car. Borrowing its retro design themes straight from the 1950s original, it's undeniably a model with the rare capacity to bring a smile to your face. The convertible 500C version cranks the cute factor up a couple of notches and also has its roots in Fiat's past as we're told it pays homage to the original 500 cabriolet of 1957. It's better to think of the roof arrangement as a huge canvas sunroof rather than a full folding canopy. At the touch of a button, the entire centre section of the roof retracts into a concertinaed bundle just above the boot. It's not the most elegant piece of engineering but the sight of car with its roof retracted adds to the retro appeal and with the roof-up, it's tough to tell a convertible 500 from a hard-top one. The roof itself features a glass rear window and is available in a choice of colours, so buyers can personalise their car. The simple roof arrangement also means that there's a decent amount of room in the rear seats of the 500C. There are some convertible cars twice the size of the little Fiat that are stingier with the legroom they lay on for passengers in the back. Delicious design details drip from the 500's interior. It's like a tiny pearl, especially when the ivory finish is specified. There's a very well-judged blend of retro chic and ruthlessly modern contemporary design inside, with circular head restraints and neat 500C badging on the Panda-sourced dashboard. Chrome-ringed vents and a fascia that can be specified in the same colour as the body are other highlights. The usual Pop and Lounge trim levels are available with the 13-litre Multijet engine but there's no automatic gearbox option. With prices pitched at £3,000 over the hard-top 500, buyers have really got to want that folding roof. The diesel only adds to the expense with a £1,400 premium over the 1.2-litre petrol engine and a £200 one over the 1.4 petrol. In terms of rivals, there are plenty of small cars with folding hard-top roofs but they tend to look a bit gawky. The soft-top MINI is quite a bit more expensive and Citroen's C3 Pluriel should be avoided like the plague. The entry-level Pop models get the electrically-operated roof, air-conditioning, remote central locking, a CD stereo with MP3 compatibility, electric door mirrors and seven airbags. The alternative trim level is the Lounge and these models add ESP stability control, front fog lights, Bluetooth connectivity, climate control and rear parking sensors to make manoeuvring in tight spaces even easier. The Lounge comes at a premium of £1,400, however, and so looks considerably less affordable than the entry-level cars. From launch, there's a choice of 11 exterior colours and Fiat offers buyers a huge scope of optional extras to personalise their 500 C. You couldn't class those upfront costs for the 500C as cheap but the 1.3-litre diesel will be good for those looking to keep running costs under control. The Multijet diesel version gets 67mpg on the combined cycle and emissions of 110g/km and is highly tax-efficient. Buyers can also bank on decent residual values with a look that's stood the test of time since the 50s unlikely to go out of style. Fiat has also taken further steps to boost the car's environmental credentials with its StartandStop technology and a clever system called eco:Drive. Bundled up with the BlueandMe Bluetooth telephone system on the Lounge models, eco:Drive is a computer that monitors your driving style and offers tips on how you can improve your fuel economy. People are going to want the 500C. That much was certain as soon as the designers edged its cute factor into the stratosphere. Will they want a diesel though? The answer to that will largely boil down to the running costs and high mileage drivers will get the real benefit of the oil-burner's superior economy. Totting up your annual mileage and collecting fuel receipts aren't very Fiat 500C things to be doing, but each to his or her own. Regardless of the engine, fun should be guaranteed.Facts At A Glance CAR: Fiat 500 C 1.3 Multijet PRICES: £12,700-£14,100 - on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 5 CO2 EMISSIONS: 110g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-62mph 13s / Max Speed 103mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: [1.4] (urban) 53.3mpg / (extra urban) 78.5mpg / (combined) 67.3mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Seven airbags, ABS WILL IT FIT IN YOUR GARAGE?: Length/Width/Heightmm 3546/1627/1488mm]]></description>
