2012 Fiat
One of the perks of my job at a car dealership is that I occasionally get to borrow a vehicle for a day or two. We have recently become a Fiat dealer so this weekend I borrowed one.
#1 ~ So flippin' cute- people stared and waved at us!
#2 ~ I kinda suck at driving standard - stalled out numerous times - shhhh - don't tell the sales department!
#3 ~ Gas mileage was UNBELIEVABLE!!! I started with a full tank and drove over 50 miles yesterday. The indicator shows that I only used 1/12th of the tank of gas!!! WOW!!!!
If I had an extra 17K kicking around I'd definitely consider this car! However at this point I will keep my 12 year old PAID FOR car!

I absolutely ADORE these cars.
You see them driving around a LOT in Holland. Don't know if I would like one since they seem to be very small but I love the look of them and they will be a darn sight easier to parallel park than my SUV.
Lucky you for getting a drive in one.*Avril*

It is super easy to park and I am the world's worst parker!
It would work well as a second car but I don't think I would want it to be my only car because of the size. We'd have to tie the dogs to the top to go up North with them in the summer.

Dasiy - didn't realize you got a job back at the dealership! Congrats
As for the car, its cute for running errands and daily stuff but no going to Costco/Ikea with that baby 
I always eyeball it each time I drive by the dealership and have wondered about it.
