for what it is, i like it quite a lot - though Australia is flat out the wrong country to be buying a 500e

[@hellounbox]

this is my uncle city car in Italy! Its much expensive but is the best in the Italian city more little with small street and so old city! design is the Italian best property

[@josueelombre931]

It’s cute but man that price is insane. That’s the thing g I don’t understand about EVs, why pay more for something that offers less? No wonder why fiat is considering selling this model with a gas engine.

[@cthorno2991]

FIAT should have stuck to it's small but practical and affordable formula. Not an abarth and asking that sort of money. Prepare not to sell many FIAT.

[@lamborghini0610]

Could've been a great car had it been reasonbly priced.

[@benzaaaaa]

Very very expensive for what it is

[@davetaylor4741]

Fiat 500. Not bad styling. Fun to drive as a petrol. Pointless as an EV for the price. It really is about time that some sort of logic and common sense prevailed. For the foreseeable future. The battery technology. The infrastructure to charge said batteries. The production of the green energy. None of it is ready or able to be of any use. For the cost to the consumer. And even the cost to the environment. An energy efficient fossil fuel vehicle is by far the better option. Ten to twenty years on ask me again. If I am still alive. It might be ready by then.

[@mahcooharper9577]

Quite a charming little thing but very expensive as you mentioned. I'd still rather drive that than an MG or BYD... but I'd also rather save the $20k and spend it on petrol. That battery looks very vulnerable underneath it too...

[@gregj7916]

I never understand why anyone in Australia buys a car with a sunroof..

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Yep, I don't get it either. About the only time I've ever opened a sunroof is in the evening in summer, driving in the city, for added fun for the kids etc.

[@hartoz]

BYD Dolphin, is cheaper, and better in every way. Stellantis have obviously lost the plot with Australian pricing.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Dolphin isn’t better with driving dynamics. Not even close.

[@hartoz]

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia 9 seconds? My old V6 jeep was faster than that. The Dolphin is faster, more efficient, and more comfortable, and costs a lot less.

[@arne_mh]

have you seen the dolhin though

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

@@hartoz Yes, the 150kW version is quicker, because it produces 150kW. My guess is the lower output version wouldn’t stack up as well.

[@hartoz]

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia Sure, but the 150kw version is STILL cheaper than the Fiat.

[@Video-co1eu]

It was so expensive that even more unfortunately it was an ev

[@elishaemanuel8512]

Fiat car is same with Ferrari car, you should buy this Italian brand if you love European car,Audi and porches is the Volkswagen car but for me I love Citroen France car then Germany and swedish car or British car, japanese cute car is Mitsubishi Colt, mirage

[@User-cb4jm]

Ridiculous pricing will be the death of traditional car brands in the EV market. $50k will get you a BYD Seal, a medium RWD sedan, looks sporty, that’s very well equipped, faster and with better range. At least that feels like price parity given the standard features list compares well to a Camry SL Hybrid or Mazda6 Atenza for the same price.

[@kareembaba7498]

Looks neat, but it's still a Fiat...and an EV, so it's not on my list.
