I am 5'3" and fit well into this car. I also have 3 teenagers who fit somewhat comfortably in the car with me. My model is a manual transmission and I would not consider an automatic for this small of a car. Downshifting makes driving in the snow much more manageable. The interior is relatively quiet. My daughter drives a 2012 Subaru Impreza and says the Fiat interior is much quieter than her car. Storage inside the car is challenging but also manageable with a little thought and creativity. Driving on the highway gets about 37-40 mpg. Generally I am happy I have the Fiat 500 and hope it last me a long time. Parking in the city is a breeze too.
This make and model is perfect for the commute to work, school, or any activity! It's not meant to move furniture or carry more than 4 people at a time but for the daily average duties this car is fantastic! The "Sport" model is a dream and it is so fun to drive. I look for any reason to make sure that that's the car I use to drive just because I enjoy it so much! Either as driver or as a passenger it's a nice ride.
This is, hands down, the best little car I've owned. It handles corners like a champ and hits a top speed of 131mph on the track with no trouble. Could use a 6th gear though. From the Bluetooth connectivity to the turbo boost, this Abarth is awesome!! I've crammed a 49" TV, still in the box, into this thing and I've taken a trip with fire people in the car. I can tell you, my passengers enjoy it nearly as much as I do. The only car that beats this one in size is the Smart ForTwo but double the power. It isn't the fastest nor the most powerful, but it's aerodynamics allow for keeping up with friends on the track without trouble.
