Five minutes behind the wheel sometimes tells you everything you need  to know about a vehicle. Of course, you figure out more as the miles  pile up, but the gained nuances usually support – not refute – that  first impression.
Our first five minutes behind the wheel of the 2012 Fiat 500 shouted  that it was solid, substantial and sporty. The rest of the day simply  demonstrated the amplitude of these characteristics, and whether the  exceptionally-popular-in-Europe 500 might actually catch on with  American drivers.
We think it will.
