Fiat 500 picks up another award

The Fiat 500 is well on its way to becoming the most decorated city car of all time already, but has still been handed another industry accolade.

Earlier this week the AM Awards were held in Birmingham and saw the popular Italian supermini honoured with the Used Car of the Year Award.

Since launching in the UK in January 2008, the 500, which now comes in various guised including a Gucci-inspired cabriolet, has won a multitude of gongs in both the new car and used car sectors.

This time, the judges singled the Fiat 500 out for its "cute looks, excellent residual values and widespread popularity".

Jeremy Bennett, editor at AM, commented: "Single handedly re-invigorating the Fiat brand since its introduction to the market in 2008, the popularity of the Fiat 500 has not waned, enjoying massive popularity on the used market.

"Demand for the car is still strong, ensuring 500s only share brief encounters with dealer forecourts before being whisked away to customers looking for fun in a cute and funky little package."
