Is the 2024 Fiat 500e the BEST city commuter car you will never BUY?

[@RowanGontier]

Raiti, you would have been such a great teacher at a boys school. “If you have 10.2 in, are you gonna use all of it”, and “once you’re in, you’re in like Flynn”. Beautiful lines, like a Coca Cola bottle.

I like it! I've never been a Fiat fan, but this is a great idea! Keep it light by making it 2 door and you don't need a huge battery...What a concept!!! Make it small and simple to keep the price down and sell a brazillion of them...I sure wish American manufacturers would wake up and get this clue!!!

[@RaitisRides]

If only other car companies would catch on.

[@endeavourist5287]

Ford is apparently looking at doing something similar. Keep the car small and it won't require a big, heavy, expensive battery. What a concept!

[@redademe]

I got one right before watching this video, half an hour later I gave the dealer a call to see what the trade-in value is and the chap offered me $16k. Jokes aside, this car illustrates the differences in consumer tastes between the US and Europe, this one sells like a hotcake in Europe because it perfectly fits your (female) urban lifestyle (zero emissions, ease to park, zippy etc..).

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points from an actual owner.

[@TriMLS]

Pretty cool vehicle; but, I think they need to bring the USA the Abarth 500e in order to appeal to the American consumer.
