@install8er a big car does not signify a lot of great and big things. the fiat 500 is a piece of history. your 2010 focus maybe is a good car but it won't leave a lot in cars history
Watching the 500 riding (always if you are so lucky to see one around), you will think about a small mouse riding in the city surrounded by elephants :-)
@MrDolcevita1 BTW- I only have one 6mo old son and no plans to expand the family. It was simply an example of the average americans' vehicle purpose. You probably don't have a turbocharged, 700hp mustang either. But I won't hold it against you. lol
Simply put, I will not pay more for less car..... less space, less features, less mpg, less performance, less manufacturer support. They do seem like well built cars but so does my focus. My 2010 Focus also has heated leather seats, heated mirrors, fog lights, satellite radio, SYNC, cruise control, 143 hp, 36 mpg epa rated... etc. I see no point to down-grade for the same price... around $18,500.
@MrDolcevita1 That's fine. But a 2012 Focus is rated at 40mpg with the SFE package, while the 2012 500 doesn't even get that with a manual trans. It costs about the same, has less space, 60 less hp, doesn't have SYNC<--- priceless. To me, a "fun" car needs to perform and THIS Fiat doesn't have it. They have others that do though. Also, the "fun" factor is a marketing scheme people. lol. They're using the fact that its Italian to seem classier and more fashionable. Its just another mini imo.
She got fired but Fiat should be credited with losing the USA market for assuming American's would drive the F500. Glovebox? that's a luxury?
