Hopefully the link displays properly.

No personal experience. Stats show cargo and passenger volume are comparable, but the Fiat is 10" shorter

Check online for Fiat 500L's on sale near you and go have a look?

we had a fiat 500L size was not a problem at all for 3 adults, my son is 6ft tall as well.
My husband only complaint was it’s lack
of power.

Thanks for the replies. Martine.....maybe the lack of power will help stop me from speeding and landing a ticket in the mail! LOL

Hello,
We rented this style of vehicle a few years ago while driving around Tuscany. There were 4 of us (fit / average height) with 2 small suitcases. We were comfortable in the car. For the person who is 6ft, they could always ride in the passenger seat with it placed as far back as possible to maximize leg room, if needed.

1200 miles in the 2 door last month...no complaints 2 passengers... 4 door should work fine for 3

No issues last month in Italy, 3 people.

Haven’t driven personally, although there were sure a lot on the road last September/October, as we drove our (unrequested upgrade) rented Ford Puma. The 500L looked absolutely massive, compared to the base 500 car.

The interior is roomier than you would think. I’ve driven a 500L more than once, with 3 adults plus luggage (and my wife’s and my sister in law’s luggage is never minimal). I think we were able to fit it all in the cargo area, although there is always the possibility of folding half of the back seat. If you get the one with the Diesel engine, it will have more torque, in case you plan to drive up the mountains. However there is really no guarantee you will actually get a 500L. The rental car could give you an “equivalent” type of car.

Fiat has largely pulled out of the States but San Diego must have at least one 500L on a lot somewhere.

Hope you enjoy your trip!

We booked at Fiat 500 about 3 years back when we were going to a wedding in Como.

On arrival we got 'upgraded' to an Fiat Punto (now defunct) which was such a disappointment though I wasn't that surprised. I suggested that it was not an upgrade and they said it was because it had more doors than a 500! There was no point arguing however Fiat 500's were generally much more expensive to buy than Punto's so I doubt they ever had that many in stock. At the end of the day we were only using to transfer from airport to Lake Como (and back again) so very much first world problems not getting the cute car for a few instagram pictures...... It was an ugly white Fiat Punto and the only pics I can find on my phone are of the dents it had when we collected just in case they tried to charge us for them.

The greater fun was to be had hiring a mini speedboat for a few hours and whizzing around the lake.
