Owning a Fiat 500
Used Fiat 500 ownership delivers a slightly old-school driving experience, but one that’s packed with charm. The characterful interior features high-mounted gear lever and integrated rev counter, while recent models include Uconnect touchscreen technology for seamless smartphone integration. The compact size makes parking effortless in tight urban spaces, while two adults can travel in reasonable comfort – the back seats are best saved for your bags. Insurance groups are pretty reasonable, making the 500 particularly suitable for younger drivers, first-time drivers and city commuters who value style without compromising practicality.

Your Fiat 500 questions answered
Not very big at all. It measures just 3.5m in length – that’s about four paces – and 1.6m wide, so is perfectly suited to nipping through tight Italian streets… or parallel parking on a busy British city road. The 500 can squeeze into parking spaces that bigger cars wouldn’t have a hope of squeezing into. Because it’s not much bigger than the postage stamp, the back seats are a bit tight and the boot is compact. If you need a small car and will be carrying people in the back regularly, a Volkswagen Up will suit you better.
The vast majority of Fiat 500s come with a small petrol engine. In the past, super-thrifty diesel engines were also offered, while in recent years a mild-hybrid engine replaced the long-lived 1.2-litre petrol. There’s now a fully electric 500 too.
Look around the internet and you’ll get a mixed response. The Fiat 500 is generally reliable, but not every car is problem-free – like any model. You’re more likely to experience small trim failures and infotainment glitches rather than major faults that’ll leave you stranded. On the off chance something does go wrong, parts and servicing are comparatively cheap, and you can take out a Motorpoint Extended Warranty for absolute peace of mind.
A three-star safety rating isn’t exactly the best result, but the same number of stars was given to the Volkswagen Up and Hyundai i10 as well. Part of the reason for the 500’s score is that it doesn’t come with some of the active safety features that are more widely available in bigger, costlier cars.
The Fiat 500 is a good first car because it’s easy to park, fun to drive and cheap to run. We’re not just talking about petrol – it’s inexpensive to insure and the small wheels mean that new tyres aren’t costly either.
Practicality isn’t usually top of the list for a Fiat 500 buyer – many will accept the cramped back seats and compact boot as a consequence of the car’s size and style. But you’ve got a good amount of space if you fold the rear seats down – and the seatbacks are clad in hard-wearing plastic that’ll stand up to lots of heavy and bulky items.
The Fiat 500 is often bought for its styling and its fun interior. Its low running costs, easy driving experience – especially its city driving mode – and customisation options appeal to buyers too. To top it all off, the 500 doesn’t cost very much to buy. Fiat 500s at Motorpoint start from under £140 per month.
