It is a very nice car to drive - roomier than you'd think. It also has a bluetooth connection that recognizes your mobile when you get in and enables built-in hands-free.

We have one parked outside ;-)

Re: People and Klatsch (none / 0)

According to Wiki, there's an electric version that can go 55 miles on a single charge, too.

That I would give some serious thought to. We'd never have to buy gas again.

US passenger cars used 75 million gallons in 2006. Average miles per gallon = 22.4. The Fiat 500 does 56 mpg. You yanks should all buy Fiats. QED.

Re: People and Klatsch (4.00 / 3)

I rented one this week-end, it did 6.3l/100km (ie close to 40mpg) on full highway driving (at roughly 120kpm/75mph) averages. It was indeed roomy and comfortable.
