Design:
- Its third generation is the best-looking Fiat 500.

- The new design will only be on the electric 500E.

Price:
- £27,495 for the La Prima hatchback which includes the UK Government Grant

Space & Interior:
- It isn't practical in the back. It is too tiny for adults.
- Rear windows don't open.
- Is comfortable enough to ride in, in the backseat.
- Seat belts in the backseat don't move all the way up, making them difficult to use.

Tech:

- Acceleration to 0-62 MPH takes 9 seconds
- Maximum speed is 93 mph
- Is well suited for European roads as a small car.

Conclusion:
- A lot of fun to drive and has some quirky design features, but also comes at a high price compared to others on the market.
