2009 Fiat 500

Retro-styled city car that revived the 500 name successfully. Front-engine, front-drive layout unlike original. Distinctive styling draws heavily on classic 500 cues. Surprisingly spacious interior with quality feel. Became style icon and sales success.

Clutch actuator failure common - replacement expensive. MultiAir engines need proper service schedule. Steering column creaks reported. Suspension bushes wear causing clunks. Paint quality variable on early cars.

Panoramic sunroof, parking sensors, climate control, TomTom navigation, Beats audio, leather seats, special edition trim.
