It's a very small car that has the dubious honor to be call a "yogurt pot" in French. It's a special category that regroup small cars. Usually, those not requiring a licence to drive. The FIAT 500 does require one.

Of course, "yogurt pot" is a polite way to put it. Personally I much prefer to call them "bus suppositories".

Other than that, it's a very nice city car: good mileage, enough space to get 2 or 3 children to school, small enough to park nearly everywhere and very manoeuverable.

Not a good car for long distance travel: small trunk(boot), not very powerful engine.

Sat in one the other day, my head sticks through the sunroof by about 2 or 3 inches. Not a lot of room inside. By comparison, the Smart fortwo has plenty of room (well a finger or two) between my head and the inside of the roof. If I have to slouch to drive it, I'd rather walk, thanks.

Cute as hell, though.
