Fiat 500C buying guide

What types of used Fiat 500C cars are there?

It’s quite rare to find a small hatchback with a convertible roof. Why is this? We don’t really know, because why wouldn’t you want something you can nip about town in but enjoy at the weekend with the breeze in your hair? 

Because there are so few rivals, this puts Fiat in a great position to dominate the market. 

Popular Fiat 500C trims 

A used Fiat 500C is available in a range of different trim levels, catering to various needs and wants. Here are some of the most popular: 

> Fiat 500C Dolcevita – Italian for ‘sweet life’, this used to be the range-topping model with kit like air-con and cruise control 

> Fiat 500C Pop – fun-spec with electric door mirrors, chrome door handles and electric front windows 

> Fiat 500C Collezione 1957 – a limited special edition with just 1,957 units being produced, it’s a nod back to the classic 500 with a special paint and interior touches 

Fiat 500C history 

Ever since its initial launch in 1957, the 500 has been available with a soft-top convertible roof. Since it was originally designed for Italy, the extravagant sunroof meant it was perfect for those summer evenings. 

Nowadays, it’s still good for that but also gives an extra sense of ‘fanciness’ when cruising around, no matter where you live. 

> First-generation Fiat 500 (1957-1975) - the birth of an icon, with its tiny proportions and fun appeal, plus the use of a soft-top retractable roof 

> Third-generation Fiat 500C (2009-present) - reborn as a slightly larger (but still small) supermini, again offering a soft-top, harking back to its original design 

What features does the Fiat 500C have?

Being a small supermini, don’t expect Range Rover-like tech and features inside, but instead a whole range of the basics done well. 

By this we mean things such as air-con, a seven-inch infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto in newer models, cruise control and start/stop technology. 

It’s far from as basic as quadricycles like the Citroen Ami, but instead appeals to the average city driver or new driver, thanks to its tight proportions and easy manoeuvrability. 

Is the Fiat 500C reliable?

A used Fiat 500C is a dependable car when looked after correctly, like with all vehicles. 

Older Fiats were never known for their reliability, but modern post-2007 cars are far better. Now Fiat’s owned by Stellantis, it should be far superior to that classic model. 

All new Fiats come with a rather standard three-year/60,000-mile warranty which is passed onto subsequent owners, making nearly new used examples even more appealing. 

How much does the Fiat 500C cost to run?

Used Fiat 500C cars have a few different engine options.  

These include a 68hp 1.2-litre petrol, a 0.9-litre TwinAir (available with 85 or 105hp) and a 95hp 1.3-litre MultiJet unit. 

It's worth noting that all these engines are Euro 6 emissions compliant, and if you want to take things a step further, why not get the fully electric 500e version? 

These engines are very frugal and therefore shouldn’t cost much to run. Fiat claims you’ll get around 60mpg, and we don’t doubt it. 

Who is the Fiat 500C suitable for?

The beauty of a used Fiat 500C is that it can suit anyone and everyone – it’s a truly classless car. 

It suits new drivers, well-established drivers, city dwellers and country bumpkins. No matter who you are, a 500C can probably slot into your life with relative ease. 

Plus, you can retract the roof, making you look far cooler than any of your friends. 

Its rivals include the Vauxhall Adam, Citroen DS3 Cabrio and Toyota Aygo. 

Should I buy a used Fiat 500C?

What’s the difference between the Fiat 500 and 500C?

The main and only difference between these two cars is that the 500C has a retractable soft top, whereas the 500 is the standard car. 

What does the ‘C’ in Fiat 500C stand for?

The ‘C’ stands for ‘cabrio’ which is short for ‘cabriolet’, which stems from horse-drawn carriages that would have a foldable roof. 

How much is a Fiat 500C?

Brand-new, you can expect to pay upwards of £18,000, but get a used one and you could pay anywhere from £10,000 to £15,000 – depending on year and spec. 

Does the Fiat 500C have a sat-nav?

All 500C models sold after the 2015 facelift come with a seven-inch display, but not all come with a built-in sat-nav. You’d need to check the spec list of your specific car to find out. 

Can you get an electric Fiat 500C?

Yes. It’s called the Fiat 500e Convertible and it’s the same concept as the 500C but with an electric motor instead of an engine.
