Fiat 500C, the coolest convertible in town. It's official: the world's cutest car just got even cuter. We've taken everything that's great about the 500 - the glamour, the style, the state-of-the-art technology - and added an electric soft top. So now driving will be even more fun. This is your 500C. Go play.

Fiat 500C 1.2 Lounge 2009

5 star review

I have had my 500C for two years and it has been a constant joy. I have driven it around the UK, across Europe to Germany and Austria, twice! Nothing has gone wrong and I get on average 46mpg. Issues: the engine struggles a bit on motorways but I have realised this car loves being revved, so just drop down the gears and give it some welly. Great fun.

Fiat 500C 2009

1 star review

Purchased a Fiat 500c convertible October 2009. I have had nothing but trouble with the roof, it makes knocking and rattling sounds, not been able to cure it So now Fiat say the noise is standard. I dont think so, a brand new car with a rattling roof? Anyone else with the same problem?

Fiat 500C Lounge Diesel 2009

3 star review

Will be a geat car when Fiat fix the knocking noise that occurs when changing up gears at above 2000 revs... i.e. most of the time. The diesel version is apparently prone to this - buyer beware. After 4 months no fix as yet.
