Fiat 500
Despite its relatively affordable starting price, the Fiat 500's main selling feature is its cool design. There are three available engines: the basic version is powered by a 101-horsepower 4-cylinder; the turbo uses the same 1.4-litre engine, but with 135 horsepower; and finally, the Abarth caters to sport enthusiasts with a 160-horsepower mill. Although cargo space is reduced, the vehicle’s exterior dimensions are perfect for city living.
