Uploaded 2 years ago by RSymons RSEV

Video Summary

- It's a good-looking, charming little car, designed and thought about well.
- The front styling and blunt front end mean it is not the most aerodynamic.
- The wheels are nice and the color looks great.
- It’s a convertible version.
- There’s no storage under the front.
- The boot has a little letter box size opening.
- Back seats do fold.
- Has a reversing camera, and it's nice and clear.
- The steering lock is really good, ideal for town.
- One-pedal driving is included, but the stops are not the smoothest; there's a slight jolt at the end, a minor bugbear.
- The cabin space is nice, with leather seats and good material mixtures.
- Inside, is written "Fiat" all over the seats.
- Has a colorful screen and wireless Apple CarPlay.
- Front has quick climate control shortcuts, a wireless phone charger, and a USB.
- Drive selectors are included, as are a cup holder and drive mode selections.
- Handbrake does auto-release if the seatbelts on.
- Volume controls here as well steering controls.
- There's a bit of storage available, with USB and a 12V socket.
- Has head room and legroom.
- There's not a place to rest the left foot.
- The screen is a bit laggy and slow and isn't always good for driving on a highway and reading the smaller fonts.
- LED headlights are very good in terms of brightness.
- Has a manual headlight adjustment, too.
- Real-world range will cost about 12 pound 50 to plug it in at home.
- The range is about 120 miles for longer journeys and may improve in-town.
- Charges at 85kw.
- Does the perfect city car job.
- The real world is more like 120 miles of range.
- The 500e is a charming little thing. It drives so much better than the petrol versions, has 117-120hp, shoots around town great, has a good turning circle, is small for parking.
