It's got slightly tweaked styling inside and out, more choices of colour and trim and the same range of petrol and diesel engines as before. As always, there's plenty of scope for personalisation - so watch our video to see if it's any good!

European review: decent space in rear seat
American review: no space at all!
bc they’re all obese
come drive for a week in any European big city center and you will understand :)
At the end of the day, you don't buy a 500 for practicality. You buy it for its sheer uniqueness, style and sense of happiness... :)
callum appleseed no you buy it for practicality of gas mileage and cheap ownership
and you buy it for it’s uniqueness, style, and sense of happiness
gorgeous retro interior
You know what, I think James is alright :)
Goodbye
lol jks
Oh ok, I can't really take jokes, just saying
Same and also for the average consumer looking for a new car I think he is perfect.
Me too actually :-)
As a long-time subscriber, I like him.
Why the hate?
Furuya Go me too!!
am i the only dude to like this car ^^ ?
You're not the only one :)
+KingStivan no there is you and the guy who commented before me
nah i like it too 👍👌✌
+Ayrton Atif I think its cool...
+KingStivan nope! If Mini wouldn't exist,i'd buy this one
oh cmon he's not that bad. don't just dislike for the sake of disliking I actually think he's improving abit
First time sewing machine became a compliment to an engine...
😂😂
My Vfr400 sounded like a sewing machine but at least it did a sub 13s 1/4.
I have absolutely no idea why people keep hating this guy. He is doing great, and he talks just like any British does. Is there any legitimate reason to all the hates?
+Josh Leonov I thought I was the only guy thinking this xD
9000Gameplays - MW3 M.O.A.B Videos You certainly are not, mate. He is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. Maybe everyone already got used to Mat and his silly jokes, and suddenly someone who is completely different took his place. Just Like Top Gear all over again. But still, this channel is not meant to be an entertainment in that sense.
its him again ... *grabs popcorn,....opens comments section*
"And of course, 7 airbags." I love the way he says that phrase.
Will be interesting to see if you guys chase away another Carbuyer presenter with all your negative comments and thumbs downs. Really seems uncalled for.
gomophobic pple
Good vid. Love this reviewer!
your kidding me?
+fried water you're* and he's actually a good journalist. He's a bit feminine but he knows what he is talking about
+Sam Harper
You are him right?
This comment is cancer
no, he’s a excellent reviewer
This presenter is awesome - I don't see why everyone hates on him! Much better than Autocar et al…
New host - he's good, I like his kooky style. It's fresh.
This comment is cancer
Maybe it's me but he reminds me of a young Quinton Wilson
+Dan Kershaw
Is that a good thing??
+Dan Kershaw more like a young julian clarey.
"If you fold down the rear seats, you get a larger loading area" WOW! YOU DON'T SAY.
lol
+$ Cash $ Money $ Hero $ Class leading boot space? What about the Citigo at 251 litres? Will be following Mat on carwow I think
If you want more loading space in a Fiat 500 then get the Fiat 500L MPW
Everybody knows that, LOL :)
he did say, and it’s very informative. I don’t understand your dufus comment
This car is extremely beautiful. Up and i10 are so sad in comparison with it.
i agree with you 100%
@@briansalmon1666 it is like it sais you hello when you look at it ^-^
He is a nice presenter. Give him some time. And its a nice girly car.
perfect car for him hah
He's a nice guy
and it’s not a girly car
also a perfect car for people who have great taste in vehicles
Stop with all those dislikes and get over it, he is making progress, and now he is actually good.
Am I the only one whos likes the new host?
Where did Ginny go?
+Frihman He's doing a good job, I don't understand the hate. Mat can do his thing on carwow and I'll stay here for James. You can't disagree that he's improved a lot
He certainly has improved
Yes you are.....
Yes
I don't like all the homophobic comments this poor chap is getting it is uncalled for and unfair. Having said that I think he was a poor choice for the job even though he clearly knows what he is talking about. Reviewers need to be "every man" types or entertainers. The viewer needs to see himself in the reviewer or be entertained and this guy is not that chap. Matt was an everyman and filled that brief rather well.
+presterjohn71 My thoughts exactly and bravo for putting in a polite and decent way, not like some of the other morons in this comment section.
+SabreMK42
Seriously people, you can't see yourselves in THIS reviewer???
Wtf is wrong with you???
+νικος γιώργος As stated, I prefer other kinds of reviewers to this particular guy but there's certain ways of expressing opinions that can be done without, frankly, being a wanker...
Mat was an everyman because he's an average white guy which is the main audience for this channel, it seems. They can't bear to watch someone who doesn't look like them. I'd hate to see the comments if Carbuyer had a black man reviewing their cars. Fucking disgrace the lot of you
I love how this video is 5 min long and have been up for 3 min and already have 12 dislikes… C'mon guys give him a chance at least!
this guy is growing on me, then again he dialed back how he pushes words out :)
Kids, stop disliking carbuyer videos.
Idk how to change automatic on fiat 500 model 2008 when I select A/M it showed for me *auto* it changes shifts alone but my friend told me that there is another option for automatic
Do you guys know where I can find that front bumper? I've been looking for it since forever
I have a Fiat 500 and I love it , it's just the car to have I love it
the sewing machine comment is actually funny
excellent review, very informative
Really good review!
I don’t really like this car but it seems safe and practical but would this be good for someone on the slightly taller side? About 170cm tall.
I love this car! I have a miata so I am not looking for a new car but, my dad's rx300 just lost a transmission and he is considering this. Here in 'merica we get 101hp and that's enough. Excited to drive it sometime.
Nice job mate!
Ok, I like Mat as much as the next guy. I watch videos for cars that don't exist in the US for him. But, jesus christ, James does a fine job. The ratio here is just silly.
I would like to see all of these haters reviewing a car. Get a life people he does a good job :)
His driving gloves made me smile
Good review. Thanks
I love my Fiat 500 and wouldn't think of switching except adding a Panda if they ever sold those it the U.S. After 2 years each drive is still something I look forward to and I've never been able to say that since the MG Midget many decades ago. I like his coat but the pants?
How can you say the boot is the biggest in it's class, when it takes 185L, and a Kia Picanto takes 200L (just to mention one)?
Hi James :-) Great car for sure, and cool video because you are just a funny happy man :-) Bye Rainer from Austria !
Can it go up hills though?
The basic versions back seats don't fold down???
Yes, this is a good detailed review!
This guy is alot more professional then these other terd wafers on here👊
@Joshua Doherty I bought one...I love this car!
The host is GORGEOUS
Sorry Quentin version 2.0 but the twinair is quite quick in either 85 or 105ps guise and how are you getting 37 mpg??? We get 55mpg all the time out of ours on a normal commute of 20 miles on mixed roads. The reason why the pop has sd all kit is because it costs sod all, and according to fiat is aimed at young female drivers who have recently passed their test or finished school
People need to give this poor guy a chance
A sewing machine?
no it’s a car
The best review !
This guy gets more on my nerves everytime I see him, don't talk crap about the Fiat, it's awesome
+凸(¬_¬)凸 are you kidding me you troll
This is a good review of this car.
is the sporty Abarth version bigger?
Joseph170
Nope, same body, bigger more powerful engines. I had an Abarth for a year and loved it.
Good review
I saw a video where a guy compeletly removed the back seat. make total flat truck space. I think that is a cool idea. make it a two people car with big truck space.
+Kai Liu They make a 2 seater already, Fiat Abarth 695 Biposto. Expensive though.
He sounds like our local florist
and he sounds like a great car reviewer
I don't understand all the hate. Yes his voice may be a bit annoying, but he did actually do a decent review of the car, and isn't that what matters?
I like this car and I am six foot three
James is very good😊💫💫
he's fine, he gives the info of the car accurately and we'll spoken.
I don't mind the fiat 500 I'd never get one, but I like the retro.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did he say that it has a 2 cylinder engine?
Yes it does but with a turbocharger
Josh Kauf it’s amazing, the Twin Air engine, so brisk and quick.
Hey carbuyer my mum is thinking of buying the new fiat 500 for me
To learn to drive in but I'm
Worried if it's too girly for a
Guy. What are your thoughts
Lol josh,get one with the black interior and a neutral color like the metallic grey.that one doesnt look girly at all
Well it stil looks girly to be quite sincere,but not as girly as the one in this review
Who cares? I'm gonna say it in a few years time I'd love to get a Baby Blue 500 it's a great colour and the car is cool! They do a metallic blue with the S trim model that looks really good, by the way great car to learn to drive in I've got a Panda (Same car underneath) and it's huge fun. If manly is what you're after perhaps get the Panda?
+Joshua Hawthorne Get your mum to buy you a second hand Porsche Cayman
I like him.
Why do people constantly troll people reviewing products and constantly put others down or bully them etc?
Good review, thanks.
0:27 "The six inch alloy wheels are an option"
Go-kart wheels would look bonkers !!
Can you please review Jaguar F-PACE.
2 cylinder engine? 0.9 turbo ?
Can you guys please review the McLaren 570s ??
I have the twin air top of the range,fabulous
Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side? :)
"Row of switches that look like boiled sweets"😂😂😭
Love my 2017 pop
I miss Rebecca :(
I do as well, you can still see her on Telegraph Cars
he’s 20 times better than she is
Looks like a big go kart. I'd totally buy if I could afford
I drive a 2013 Abarth and could care less about the "cute car" or "sissy car" comments, the later is a new one to me but I live in the U.S. That said the available print on those seats is pretty cool IMO, reminds me of the GTI.
The tweaks to the 500 are enough to keep it fresh but not to take away from its uniqueness and I especially love those tailights, now I gotta see if they can be made to work in my 13'.
im gonna get this one from faceit one day
Don't worry, Mat Watson is now on carwow.
Do you noticed that he is a time traveler from 1800's talking about cars?
This car suits him
and it suits people that have great taste in cars
He makes better reviews than almost anybody (yes, even better than Matt)
This comment is cancer
+T W E R K B O N E R
Like your name you mean?
νικος γιώργος No. My name is not a comment, you dumb shit.
Yeah, i'm the dumb shit, "TWERKBONE"...
νικος γιώργος Lol you can't even spell my name right.
I'd be interested but for that money I could do a lot better. They won't hold/keep their value in the slightest.
I've never heard anyone compare the sound of an engine, to a sewing machine, in a positive way... Until now!?
I was building my Fiat online and the site provided the following definition regarding my powertrain selection: "6-Speed Automatic Transmission; The six-speed automatic transmission automatically changes gears so you don't have to shift gears manually.4.103 Final Drive Ratio"LMAO
So what
Keep going I like you
i like the color
Every car they show is in red and colour does make a difference
it's like an options money pit. like a Porsche
It's 2016 and they're still looking at the dash, instead of providing us with real world, measured average mpg!
So they're still too lazy to do their work, no Matt, no Rebecca, i'm out of here...
oh i love the interior!! too bad it only has two doors
"these six inch alloys are an option, though" that car must be tiny :))
£16k for a fiat 500. Crazy.
When will this facelift hit North America? The 500 is still a cute car at nearly 10 years old, but come on, let's have some of these updates across the pond.
Just casually visiting to see dem haters rage! Keep it up, Carbuyer! Dis my new thing now, lel.
Finally an appropriate car for this guy to review! Please keep him away from muscles, sports, SUVs and luxury sedans, Matt can handle those soooo much better!
he says that this car is like a sewing machine. sewing machines are a lot more cheaper so I should have some fun using a sewing machine and pushing it to its limit. that would be like a homemade car. NOT! this man just needs a break after spending time with a sewing machine. he probably carried one in the car
Funny how these car vids have become more about who's presenting instead of the cars
fiat 500 available is a hot hatchback it has a 1.6 litre petrol engine with gives 175 bhp of power at 320 nm of torque and also there is an option of a cvt rest the design and interiors are same!It cost roughly 30,000 GBP(30,00,000INR)
Available in INDIA*
1.6 175HP? I'm assuming that it may have some thing to do with the relaxed emissions laws outside the EU and USA. The best we got was the 160HP 1.4 Abarth model although we are still waiting on that for this new model!
+The Real Emile It is onsale in India but hardly anyone bought it because
1.High price
2.Mini cooper followers everywhere
3.Looks and road presence are most important in Indian market and it lacks the former
Yusuf Hussain Ahh right, would much rather have this over a MINI!
+The Real Emile. True that!170BHP
I'm sure the private school kids will love them
"If you fold them [the seats] down, you have an even larger loading area"
Well fuck me, I never knew that..
I like this car
1:31 I have a Nexus 6p 😊
