Little Fiat 500c holds its own among the big guys - Boston.com
It had been a long but fun day driving some of the most interesting automobiles produced today. Thus, I was now looking for a comfortable car for my two hour drive home. The keeper of the keys responded to my request with the keys to a 2015 Fiat 500c Lounge Cabrio 1957 Edition. Yes, that is a long title for a small car, but that’s its name. Truthfully, I was skeptical about that small car thing. Small cars are not known to offer cushy rides, although this one was an automatic and the top went down. In this case, it’s an interesting arrangement where the soft-top covers only the center of the roof. It slides up and down on the side of the roof. Looking at the Cabrio from the side, the car’s profile stays the same top up or down. No need to roll the windows down when lowering or raising the top. The cloth-top is made of a dual-layer material that offers better climate control and quieter top-up ride. By clicking the key fob of the Cabrio, I was able to follow the car’s horn through the parking lot to the car, where I stored my gear. On opening the door, I was happy to see a comfortable looking upright driver’s seat, the best option for straightening a sore back I had seen all day. Source: www.boston.com
