The FIAT 500c has a cloth top with various retraction settings, from a sunroof-like ceiling opening to a completely stowed accordion — rear window and all — perched over the trunk. The roof retracts with the touch of a button at speeds up to 60 mph, but unlike in most convertibles, it doesn't take the side-pillar structure with it. That makes for more of a panoramic moonroof effect than a true droptop experience.
What's Special - 101-horsepower, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine
- Five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission
- Trunk compartment in place of hardtop's hatchback cargo area
- High-performance Abarth version offered
