3:10 There's an air deflector at the very front of the open roof (at least on North American models) that you can unlock and it will pop up, eliminating this wind noise. I personally keep it down all the time because I enjoy the extra wind :) I've owned my 2012 500c for over a year, daily driven in Canadian winters, and am crazy enough to do regular 1000km journeys with it. It's an absolute blast to drive, even in my 6 foot stature. The only real issue has been with frayed wires in the convertible top towards the upper brake light, and towards the trunk. A simple soldering job + stress relieving material remedied this.
This car deserve more then money, because it made of the beautiful 500 History and the italian style which is a combination between the past and the present in one car, its the Fiat 500 ! I REALLY LOVE THE CUTE CAR !
I love the "rag top" feature as it seems it would be pleasant to drive on a beautiful day. Your review pointed out a most chilling fact and that is that when the "rag top" is fully engaged, it makes seeing what's behind you virtually impossible to detect. Thanks for an excellent review of this very cute car.
Five years on - do you still have the FIAT? How reliable has it been? I'm thinking about getting one but scared of breakdowns that I've heard happen a lot with this car.
TimAber57 Not only are there many comments from apparently lonely men (and boys) who are likely to stay that way, but the intelligence is about par with what you find on a UA-cam music channel. Rebecca Jackson is a legitimate authority. She's a racing driver (Porsche) and creator of successful used car dealerships. I reckon she knows more than most who comment here, as her scores of reviews demonstrate..
Im picking up my 500 on friday and cant wait, ive got rid of my Jaguar XE sport for this and couldnt be happier, all about personal choice, what doesnt work for one works for the other. As long as it does what it needs to happy days :)
@KenDroid66 Look Neanderthal, try getting your one brain cell around this - women want to hear a FEMALE perspective. Considering the majority of these Fiat 500 cars (amongst others) are bought by women, then I personally want to see women reviewing one rather than the usual cleaning products. Got that?????
My car is a 2013 500c. It has the head rest in the back seat. I'm not quite sure why this car doesn't. But I LOVE THIS CAR in any case. Reasonably priced and a lot of fun driving it. Just make sure you're not expecting a large car with large boot space or crazy acceleration speeds. It is true that it's pretty squeezy at the back. But 1 person at the back makes it roomy, 2 might be a little claustrophobic after 30 mins. I probably wouldn't recommend it if you're living in a city/area with lots of elevation and hills. This car is great for the general drive though :)
Oh I remember watching this when I was 10 and now at 17, applying soon and lookin cars wondering what I want, for bits, what's it like learning, I can't wait 😀😃😃
My US version of the 500 (1.4 Pop) has a similar "City Park" feature but it's automatic. Surely it wouldn't be too difficult to fit this to the ROW cars. And for those who're wondering, in place of that button is a sport button that firms up the steering permanently, and on automatics holds the gears a bit longer.
Good review.... just forgot to mention this is the base model the 'pop'... hence why it has no rear head restraints and no parking sensors on the back..... so visibility isnt an issue at all. Get the lounge model :)
I think this is a really pretty car, fancy and small, for me it´s ok, i was thinking on buying one, for my birthday and thanks this video i can choose the color, model i got really facinating!!! Thanks !!! from Mexico
This car is aimed at well dressed ladies with Manolo Blahnik shoes, Luis Vuitton bag and iPhone. Its not coincidence whenever i see woman getting out of this car, its always some de-luxe...with taste.
I watched the hatchback review and ginny said there is bad storage inside, next video up was this and you said the opposite about the convertible which i would have imagines would have had even less space ?
Johnny Wong...you are so Wong! :) The fiat is a cute car that fits a nice nitch for many looking for a little style at a reasonable price. I really like this car!
When you disconnect or get a new battery the rear trunk and top will not work on reattachment. UA-cam shows you how to make them work again without going to the dealer.
In my experience with Fiat 500's if you live in a hilly area don't expect the fuel economy to be exceptional. 6.7l/100km. The reason being you must push them quite hard to keep up with traffic. You might achieve WLTP if you live in a flat city.
I don't know why people keep insisting these cars are "cool". These cars aren't cool. They are small, affordable and unpractical. I wouldn't define that as cool at all.
The U.S 500 is better equipped all around. 7-Speaker Bose audio, Leather seats, a glove box, Bi- Halogen lights, Heated seats, Automatic climate control, an exhaust, alloy wheels, front ventilated and rear disk brakes. And rear head restraints are standard. And the Engine is 1 choice 1.4L 101hp and 98tq.
my wife has this car on an 09 plate which does have rear head restraints. Problem is, they also reduce rear window visibility and are too low for adults sitting in the back anyway to be of no good use... so that's probably why they got rid of them on this newer model. Convertibles are a waste of time in the UK but it is a fun car too which can take some throwing about.
***** Would you care to cite your references? To my knowledge, ALL cars have small problems. Fiat is no different. I have a 2012 and it's been great. Original battery went dead (expected), an a couple light bulbs needed replaced. Other than that, no problems at all.

Just watching the same reviews over and over again - till I have my own! :)
still watching?
did you ever get your hands on it?
So?
Same thing here :)
Plz we wanna know!! Did you get it?
This car is so cute, we are picking up our 500 sport convertible in red, with black roof and leather interior today, my wife is very excited!
@Yan Vast Yes please!

so glad there was room for your banana !
I laughed my ass off when she said that :)
I was actually going to comment this but you've already done I! Lol
*it
She's loves her bananas
Oh my! :p

I love my fiat. and because of this review, i feel italian AND british when driving it!

We bought the 2019 ( almost at the start of 2019.. ) pop version red ... Such a nice little thing.
I'll never get rid of it.
@@Angela-yn3fc depends on how you treat it. Mine is driven 30.000 km and feels like new.
No issues yet and I live in iceland...
Just got one of these and I absolutely love it 🥰
came here to watch the vid, then looked at the comments.... disappointed in humanity
I agree. The girl is just being conversational and very pleasant; haven't these people come across that before???

I think i'll treat myself to one of these over a used Porsche Boxter for my midlife crisis 🙊😎
a woman cant even do a car review without guys hitting on her in the comment section.
@KenDroid66 because she can review cars?

Kelly L. By. This video is 3 years old so its a earlier model than yours. I guess the newer ones maybe has it?
Its because its the earlier model and is a bog standered pop model
Just add a god damn turbo

Definitely get the 500 xx

1:00
the way she pushes her hand across the front of the dash... looks like a meme 🤣
You make this car look huge. They should hire you as the spokes person haha
I can never tell whether these CarBuyer reviews are 100% Sarcastic or if they mean well ...
Alexander Vartzbed and you throw in the snippy British accent too
I didnt laugh until i saw your comment and thought back of her banana comment 😅🤣
Good review.... just forgot to mention this is the base model the 'pop'... hence why it has no rear head restraints and no parking sensors on the back..... so visibility isnt an issue at all. Get the lounge model :)
Un classico italiano immortale
Like the 911
Por fin un test que muestra la capacidad del compartimiento de las plasas traseras.
I think this is a really pretty car, fancy and small, for me it´s ok, i was thinking on buying one, for my birthday and thanks this video i can choose the color, model i got really facinating!!!
Thanks !!! from Mexico
We love her in germany
great video and perfect information
thanks for that
This car is aimed at well dressed ladies with Manolo Blahnik shoes, Luis Vuitton bag and iPhone. Its not coincidence whenever i see woman getting out of this car, its always some de-luxe...with taste.
***** then you will be seen. Congrats.
the car is aimed at people who actually have taste in vehicles
What's a de-luxe?
That's the roof my neighbour had. Leaked like hell. Stop/start technology wasn't that clever either. Went back 3 times to Fiat.
There's a secret compartment under the seat so plenty of storage, secondly there's loads of space in the rear!
I watched the hatchback review and ginny said there is bad storage inside, next video up was this and you said the opposite about the convertible which i would have imagines would have had even less space ?
Amazing! This is the first car i've seen with the WINDOWS logo on the steering wheel~!
just got one what a great little car very sturdy its like a little tank
Any chance you can review the Abarth 500 too
That 2 cylinder engine is impressive.
Johnny Wong...you are so Wong! :) The fiat is a cute car that fits a nice nitch for many looking for a little style at a reasonable price. I really like this car!
01:34 So the significant difference is NOT that it has a opening roof, but that it has buttons dedicated to open the roof... nice!
Lack of space in the rear? BITCH WHERE?
YOU FIT PERFECT IN THE BACK
Hi&ByeGaming tbh this made me lmao
I love this car! I'm going to buy it!
Check Matt's earlier Fiat 500 review. You can call up radio, CD, help menu, etc.
I love that car I'm getting the same one but different wheel trims and the side mirrors but thats like in 3 to 4 years time
Connie Burgin did u get the car yet?
Did you already buy it?
So adorable in the scene above the roof :) .
she's so adorable. she made me laugh tho when she said "there's EVEN room for my banana!"
hired one on holiday, loved it
I'm SO in LOVE !!! What a beauty !!
I want this car so bad!
Me too :D
Then go get one and stop whining.
i really like carbuyer review cuse they tell the blind true, of the car they show as well the good and bad points
In Australia the rear seats do have head rests, they have to for compliance on our roads.
This is true.
What do I miss you Rebecca Jackson, at Carbuyer and Telegraph Cars😪
When you disconnect or get a new battery the rear trunk and top will not work on reattachment. UA-cam shows you how to make them work again without going to the dealer.

Don't you just love when Rebecca says the word "doddle" ? ^^
This presenter gets me all the time.
U mentioned headrests but they have car seats does that make a difference?
Todo me gusto. Nomas que el volante esta al lado derecho. Yo creo que esta version son para los trabajadores del correo
I've seen FIAT 500's that appear to be fully convertible, where as this seems almost semi convertible. Are there 2 different models?
Such a cute car and I love the car itself
I don't know why people keep insisting these cars are "cool". These cars aren't cool. They are small, affordable and unpractical. I wouldn't define that as cool at all.
"There's also room for my banana..."
LOL
You are absolutely right, i was about to post something about the banana, but would be useless. Many people done that already...
whats a bannaner?
I like this fiat 500. But the problem in my country is difficult to maintain it plus the spare part is rare if the car have problems
'Space for my nail gloss' LOL.
Is there wind noise with the roof up, how about water leakage?

"the boot is pretty big and only slightly smaller than its hatchback counterpart" in the hatchback review she complained about the boot being small
my wife has this car on an 09 plate which does have rear head restraints. Problem is, they also reduce rear window visibility and are too low for adults sitting in the back anyway to be of no good use... so that's probably why they got rid of them on this newer model.

how many bhp?? 0-60 in what time ???? how does it handles in corners????
It's adorable but the white dashboard and trim will not wear well over time.
Peter Roda Ivory dash and trim are still looking good in mine - 6 years old and 56,000 miles on the clock :)
Wrong. Mine is 6 years old, 100k miles. Dash looks new.
don't care, i subscribed to this channel to watch her.
Is this a good first car?
oracle4eva
With an automatic, I'd say it's one of the best.
***** Why on earth would you buy this with an auto?
Daniel May
Because my wife is Asian.
Two pedals on the floor are enough for her. 3 would totally fuck her up.
Firemarioflower reliable as the airbarg takata?
*****
Would you care to cite your references?
To my knowledge, ALL cars have small problems. Fiat is no different. I have a 2012 and it's been great. Original battery went dead (expected), an a couple light bulbs needed replaced. Other than that, no problems at all.
my favorite car!
why do you need a button to lighten the steering why not keeping it light at all time this is not a track car anyway
this is a very cool car
That's weird the US version of this car has rear head restraints.
Anyone wonder what she drives? ;o
Is this an automatic one?
Rake and reach adjustment in the steering wheel?
I hope one day i will have my own fiat500
so , the car is quite nice.....just the problem of rear visibility
As soon as i heard her say the banana part i was like "oh this is gonna get some flame in the comments" :D
Do You fit your bags to the boots or boots to the bags? always fits perfectly :D
well yeah, but the 500 isn't the only car in its class. you can have a polo or an a1 for a little more money too.
all vehicle are of out dated models
we wish to see here up to date 2015 cars
what's that button in 2:13 ?
the car has right side steering...so, i want to know which country u r from
boss 6396 uk
Wonder how long until that roof is buggered
The owner's manual calls it the "Almost fully convertible" button. Genius.
If you get it in black, grey, or olive green with a black top, yeah.
hahah awesome! she got many guys here fooled with the sweet and innocent attitude but i bet she could embarrass them on a racetrack!
1:30 The bottle doesn't fit.
We love her in the U.S.
You mean 'it'? Or 'her' - Rebecca?
+U.P. dan The Fiat, or the girl?
U.P. dan
;
How much does this car cost
Love it
besides, they are all in the same class. all down to what suits your needs
if i have that 500c,i would like to change the rims become more sporty
There is enough room for her BANANA! xD
(know your audience)
Nice car and nice presentation... Thanks
But, do you have room for my banana? LOL
Review the 500 Abarth please!
If they all looked like her I would consider visiting my grandparents homeland. First time I've seen this site - pushing subscribe now...
I like British reviews. Cuz of the accent
Sis still *feeds the wheel*
