Fiat 500 vs. Ford Ka: Which Would You Choose?
By Rob
Editor-in-Chief
Ok, so we’re not getting either of these cool little econoboxes in the States. But we can dream, can’t we? These rides share the same platform, but the Fiat 500 is decidedly retro, whereas the new Ford Ka is thoroughly modern. So for this week’s Showroom Showdown it’s Fix It Again Tony vs. Found On Road Dead. Which would you choose?

The Fiat 500 looks fabulous- and I’m no gay, have 3 kids. Style is top of the world. As a city car this is my favorite, but I will keep my Audi for the motorway. In crash tests it has 5 stars so I am not worried. If I ask a girl to drive it she will run to jump in. Ford is just another ordinary car.
This little fiat is passion – I vote 100% Fiat and I am endorsing my opinion by ordering one. At the same time if I drive it 5 times a week my contribution of pollution will go down 50% in comparisson to what I drive. Think green!!

this is a hard one. with gas prices on the rise I would probably go with the ford ka. Im in the great state of WI. and gas is like 3.85 a gallon! and with rising costs it only makes sense to get a little commuter to go to and from work. it wouldnt be my only car though…..gotta keep the tuner sprirt alive.

If I had no other choice I’d take the fiat, my sister over in ireland has little fiat its pretty cool car.
but it’d take gas being way higher than it is before I put away my bagged and body dropped sonoma

Yep, if they hit semi head on they`ll be dead instantly and you will be HALF dead drulling with tube out of your mouth, shitting yourself for the rest of your life.

Although I deeply love the Fiat I keep getting pulled back to the Ka, something about it just tells my brain to pick it and make a mini rally car [similar to the Ford Focus], so that’s what I would do. Get the Ka and make a mini rally car.

Both of these cars are gay. I’ll eat my driver license with a fork before I even sit in either of these shitboxes. The showroom show downs blow anymore.

If you’re going to buy something that small, you might as well get the fun car, with a history. Fiat.

I dont like either of them, but if i had to chose… I am sorry ford, i would go with the Fiat 500 on styling alone

My vote for Fiat 500. All the rumors pointing that Fiat MIGHT be here in America in 2010. Also “Top Gear” gave Fiat stellar review. Ford on the other hand looks like reincarnation of Fiesta. SMART was the FIRST micro car here, but more will come! Toyota will have iQ next year, hopefully Mazda and Mitsubishi will step up too.

Fiat cinquecento… I long for one!!!
BUT… I thought I had heard a NA Ka is in the works…maybe just C-Max/S-Max, Euro Focus and Mondeo after all… hrmm

The only 500 worth having is the Abarth, the Ka is a better car all around.
Ford!!
(’S'matter Rob? still ticked that the Challenger SE is no match for a Mustang V6?)

Anybody who doesn’t know how the original Fiat 500 looked like would definitely choose the Ka for its “more modern” looks. But, being a lover of all those retro rides (Beetle, Mustang, Thunderbird, Mini Cooper, and now the Camaro), and knowing the old 500, I’d choose the Fiat 500 hands down over the Ford Ka. Besides, I’ve known those old Fiats to be well-engineered cars. I wanna believe they still are.

Can I have one of each? The FIAT is soo very fabulous, but the Ka is so now that I can’t resist it. It would have to be the Ford for me…..

Have to go for the Ka. The Fiat 500 just looks to bland on the outside. I like the interior, but the Ka wins!

I’d take the Ford.
.
It might just be where I live and where I’ve been, but I can’t remember seeing any type of Fiat once in my life. Of course, I’m not very old, but I’ve been spotting and identifying cars ever since I was tall enough to see out the window in the car. One would think I would see at least one…
.
Actually, has Fiat ever sold a car in America? I spent a good two minutes inquiring about this on the good old interweb, but didn’t find anything.
.
If it was a supercar, it would be really cool to have a brand that has never sold a car in the U.S. But for an econobox?
.
I’d take the Ford.
