2014 Fiat 500 S review - Cars Guide
When people ask me what I think of my wife Julie's Fiat 500 by Gucci I always give the same answer, "Love the car, hate the gearbox". That's in reference to the automated manual five-speed unit that Fiat calls a Dualogic. So when I was invited to road test a Fiat 500 S - with a 'proper' six-speed manual gearbox for a week I jumped at the chance. Our test car 500 S was priced at a pretty reasonable $20,000 plus on-road costs, adding the Dualogic semi-auto transmission adds a further $1500. It's also offered as a cabriolet at $23,000 with Dualogic. STYLING Cute as a button retro styling has been a big factor in Fiat 500 sales worldwide. Some bright colours are offered in the gen-three Fiat 500s, including Blue Jelly Bean, Mint Milkshake and Vanilla Ice Cream. The Fiat 500 S has sports seats, a flat-bottom leather-trimmed steering wheel with red stitching, chromed gear knob, 15-inch alloys and foglights. These and much more are waiting for you at your Fiat dealership. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
