NF500 / autobild

German motoring publication AutoBild have a nice side-by-side review and comparison of the new Fiat 500 and new MINI One which has been published online and includes a nice video presentation of both small cars.

The review (in German, of course) compares both cars on just about every level, quality, price, performance and comfort and seems very even handed in their approach.

From what we can gather (our language skills are sadly lacking) the Fiat came out on top for comfort, price and as an all round “city car” package, whereas the MINI One felt more sporty, modern and slightly higher quality, perhaps more suited for more adventurous back road excursions.

You can read the review and watch the video feature on the AutoBild website.  Not surprisingly the feature includes scenes of the new 500 causing quite a stir among the public in it’s native Italy as the AutoBild team take the car off the beaten track.
