The 2013 Fiat 500 has the power of Romanian-Italian supermodel Catrinel Menghia as its speaker, but what about the car? Motor Trend sees the sexy and trumpets the suspension in their road test evaluation.
Make it look very hot
With only a tiny 1.4-liter, 100 horsepower motor to work with before, Fiat needed to up the power and make the brand new Abarth look as hot as an Italian supermodel to get people's attention. With the new Fiat 500, 135 horses running through a newly turbocharged 1.4-liter base motor play "a fruity tune" through twin tailpipes. At 152-lb-ft of torque, the engine isn't a beast, but it is not the 98-pound weakling on the beach. Considering that the 2012 Fiat 500 only weighs 2,200 pounds, its five-speed transmission gets the job done.
Scanning the Abarth
Passengers get the most space in the Abarth as it has gearshift styling and high seats to accommodate passengers. It also has 205/40 17 tires that do a very good job of gripping the road compared to the normal Fiat 500. It has a suspension system that means the Abarth will not be swaying on the road.
No matter what you are doing in the vehicle, the stability control will take over and make for a smooth ride. This is the best part of the Fiat 500, according to Motor Trend.
Interior
The inside of the 2013 Fiat 500 is one of the best parts of the automobile, besides the stability control. It can be in a low gear or a high gear and it is still fun to drive. There is a boost gauge and gear knob in the automobile that has been shown in other Abarth models. There is a lot of style in the knob. It also has an instrument panel that shows off the speed and tachometer with a "huge, race-style seat," according to Motor Trend.
Red and yellow Abarth scorpions are visible on the car that is pretty attractive, according to Motor Trend. You will not find Fiat's logo anywhere on the car.
