Buyers of Fiat's new 500 with the 1.2L engine designed to meet the Euro Spec 6 emission laws say the car cannot even start on a hill let alone even get up hills. People feel unsafe in the auto.

 

To Quote the story:

 

“Fiat says this subtle difference might take some drivers a while to get used to. In other words, the reason all the owners we’ve spoken to can’t get up hills, is because they’re not good enough drivers. Fiat, by the way, says nothing about how you’re supposed to drive the manual 1.2.”

 

Interesting to see they used one of the Top Gear drivers who even failed to get the manual fiats up a hill. Pretty interesting. Watch the video.
