The 2023 Fiat 500 Dolcevita is a compact city hatchback powered by a modest 1.2-litre petrol engine delivering 51kW and 102Nm, making it ideal for urban buyers prioritising style and fuel economy at 4.8L/100km rather than performance. Its standout strength is its distinctive Italian design and tight 4.2-metre length, which makes parking and manoeuvring in congested Australian cities effortless, while the 185-litre boot handles daily shopping and school runs. Consider that the relatively basic 51kW output means it's best suited to city driving rather than long motorway journeys, and the 5-speed Dualogic automatic can feel jerky compared to modern continuously variable transmissions.
