FIAT Idea (2004 - 2007 )  

Clever rear seat design increases its versatility. Good looks.

Strong competition from Mitsubishi Colt 5-dr and Renault Modus.

Introduction

FIAT's Idea is a very interesting little car. It's cutely good looking. It isn't gimmicky. It's all about packing as much versatility as possible onto the same size footprint as the Punto.

And it succeeds. The first pleasure is the central dashboard. It's not quite as good as the Panda's, but it works in the same way with every switch and knob falling naturally to hand without having to take your eyes off the road.
