With all this talk about newer models like the Fiat 500L and the brand-new Fiat 500X, sometimes it’s important to step back and think about the model that started it all: the Fiat 500. First produced back in 1957, the 500 has been an iconic vehicle for over half a century, and it’s as at home in the current auto world as it ever has been. How do you update a classic without losing its original look and feel? One of the ways the Fiat 500 keeps up with the competition is by offering you options in terms of what kind of driving experience you want to have. For example, what does Fiat 500 Sport Mode do? We’ll tell you about that and more of our favorite features here:
What does Sport Mode do on a Fiat 500? This neat feature, which is standard on all Fiat 500 models from the most basic Pop (just kidding — there’s no such thing as a basic Fiat) to the performance-crazed Abarth, you’ll enjoy more precise steering as well as sharpened shift points that will make it possible for you to experience that fun, zippy driving you want sometimes, and the comfort and refinement of a more laid-back ride the rest of the time. Why not have the best of both worlds, after all?
What infotainment features are included? Depending on which model you choose, a huge array of connectivity and entertainment features are at your fingertips. On the base Pop, and every model on up, there’s the BLUE&ME Handsfree communication system. Where lots of affordable cars will skimp on this, Fiat knows how important it is that you be able to connect your device for communication, music, and more. So it’s standard. Move into higher trims and you’ve also got SiriusXM Satellite Radio (with a one-year subscription included), premium audio, and optional navigation from TomTom.
