Fiat 500 Lounge Review and Road Test

in cars •  6 years ago 


After a supermini which incorporates classic styling and its breathren's heritage?

You should take a look at the peppy Fiat 500 Lounge, the perfect city car.

The 500 is driven by a 1.2 fuel injected petrol engine and 5 speed manual gear box. You could also opt for the Twinair 1 litre engine, however this car delivers upto 55mpg.

The 500 Lounge starts at £12,650.

A great looker and roomier than you might think.

I never drive a Fiat 500 (Mini, Smart yes), but must be the perfect ride for city. And I love the design of the old one (during a trip in Italy, of course !) :

And Fiat kept this great look on the new model.

I had seen it in advertisements but never as detailed as now .. it is so cute and functional that I feel I love it .. Thank you very much for your video. A hug @planetauto

Your welcome, it’s a fun car with lots of personality, thank you 😊

Hey @planetauto! Thank you so much for this car review. I think it is really well made. It looks professionally done and I like how down-to-earth you guys reviewed the car, along with the music inserts. From what you guys have described, I am liking the car! I like cute, quirky cars :) I like the retro interior design and it is really so cute! 1.2cc is pretty alright for a car that size, kinda gives a Mr. Bean type of car? :D I like the sunroof but you said it doesn't open? Dang. Can't stick our heads up there then? Thank you again!!

That’s what the 595 Abarth Rivale that gas a canvas roof that open, which doubles for the view and the sound too, thank you for the kind comments - there is a review of the Abarth on our YouTube channel 😃

Oo cool thank you!!
Gosh, Abarth looks just as cute! You guys look really tall next to the car. Yay, electric roof!! Love the gear knob!

Ben is 6.3” Michael 6.0” 😃 thank you

Oh.. no wonder :D have a nice weekend there @planetauto (and team :)

lol, we bought my daughter a 500c, it just kind of suited her and her style. They are a good bit peppier than you would think, and they are highly stable as far as wheelbase and weight distribution goes. Which makes it pretty good for the mountain roads where we live.

They are really cars, whether the classic or the latest model. They always put a smile on your face driving or looking at them 😃 thank you

lol, we call it her midget car, since she's only 5'2" it fits her pretty well.

Very good review. Fiat is a brand that I have always liked, this car is like a small ship, simple but very handsome. I like it. The upholstery is elegant. By the way, the production of the video is very cool. Greetings.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review, the 500 is great super mini, very well trimmed and fun.

This mini is amazing. I have never thought of driving one. However, your review is giving me some ideas. hehehe I better slap it out. Amazing review as always guys

Thank you, great little cars we’d go for the Abarth 595 just that bit quicker 🚀

Wow I mean I know how little they are but I literally laughed out loud at the beginning of the video when it first showed you two standing next to it. Dang! That is a little car!!!

Another great review as always

We are literally Giants or maybe Elves, thank you

LOL yes that explains it!

I like the design and the size. It suitable for lady like me who have challenge skill in parking:) The interior is so roomy and suitable for small family. I like the video, it presented the car nicely especially for people so don't have much experience in car. Excellent video and thanks for sharing. If it sell in my country, I sure have a test drive and experience it.

Thank you, yes it's easy to manoevre and park, very comfortable too, glad you enjoyed our review.

Yes, I like this comfy car. Definitely will get a test drive if available in my country.

The video is very enthusiastic about this great little car. But it is not that which sells it to me, no, it is seeing it on our motorways here in England.
They go' steeming' along, keeping up with and overtaking all and sundry. It looks so weired, the old image is for dear old granny chugging along at half the speed of all around her. But hey, not this little beast!

Very true, there are quite a few in the UK, a loved car perfect for zipping round cities and more than capable of motorway journeys, you should look at the Abarth we tested one in The Lake District, immense fun, thank you.

I really like its design, small and beautiful. The mileage of 23 KMPL is really amazing.

It captures the heritage of early Fiat, a great looking car, thank you

Although the car looks very modest, it is top modern equipped. And yes I agree that the rims look cool :-)

Great review !!! Even if I can not get used to the fact that you are sitting on the "wrong" side :-)

Greetings from germany to you guys.

They really work simple and give it a classic look, We really like the Abarth 595 too, that handling and turbo 🚀 ha ha tried left hand drive recently in the Honda Project P took some getting used to, thank you.

Haha nice 👍😀 the abarth is crazy. He has more sound then my boxster 😅... The wife of my boss has an tuned Abarth... when she was on vacation I had a chance to drive I by myself. It’s like a go-cart 😂
