We made it to West Palm Beach! I can positively confirm that the 500 is a wonderful car to drive cross country - 1400 mile trip in two days. No back aches or stiffness. It was a comfortable and economical drive. The trip computer did register 40 to 42 mpg on the trip. The first half of the trip was 42 mpg but the Smoky Mountains dropped it to 40 mpg. The higher speeds driving through Florida assured that the fuel economy would not return to 42 mpg. One thing I noticed on the whole trip - the wind from passing semi-trucks did not disturb the composure of the little Fiat 500c. I have driven much larger cars that were often pushed by the drafts from the trucks. Crosswinds did not disturb the car either. The impression of driving was that of a much larger, very solid and stable automobile.
