What Changed

The US version of the Fiat 500 arrives for the 2012 model year. The 500 is a small front-wheel-drive car with seating for four passengers. In size, the 500 is smaller than vehicles like the Mazda Mazda2, Mini Cooper and Toyota Yaris, yet significantly larger than the Smart Fortwo. The convertible version features a power-retractable cloth top. A 1.4l four-cylinder engine is standard on all models. The convertible is available in two trim levels.
