Wow-Factor: Anyone driving a Fiat quickly experiences this. The head-turners are everywhere when you tool around town in a Fiat 500. But it isn’t just the small stature of the vehicle that gets people looking. The style is unlike anything out on the market right now. And with other models like the Fiat 500 Abarth and Fiat 500L out there, the Fiat lineup actually makes a huge statement in style.

The Fiat 500 is great from all angles.

Safety: You might not think it by seeing the vehicles, but the Fiat lineup is amazingly safe for subcompacts. In fact, the 2013 Fiat 500 was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. From the exterior shell to the air bag system, the Fiat 500 is a very safe ride.
Efficiency: This one might be expected. Due to the lightweight nature and outstanding 1.4-liter engine, the Fiat 500 is capable of efficiency of 31 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. That’s enough to pass up the gas station several times.
Affordability: The Fiat 500 allows consumers to get a great new vehicle at a very low price. The 500 starts at prices below $15,000, meaning you can get in a brand new car for the same price that many consumers buy used.
