Fiat is back in North America after decades of being away, and they're starting out with the highly anticipated Fiat 500. Bringing Italian style with functionality, CTVNews.ca's Brent Jamieson decided to take the Fiat 500 Lounge for a drive.

Powered by a 1.4 litre, 101 Horsepower engine, the Fiat 500 has alot of get up and go for such a small car.

Smooth lines and cute looks, help shape the retro styling of the Fiat 500.

500 badging adorns every spot of the car, including one hidden in the headlights.

Chrome styling can be found throughout the Fiat 500 Lounge, from the little bumpers to the wing mirrors, pictured.

Only the driver side mirror has a blind spot mirror, which is a great design idea, because of the blind spot right behind your left shoulder.

The art deco styling from the outside continues on the inside, with the matching colours of the dash with the body and a chrome look on the door handles.

The centre console is very well laid out, including the window controls and an automatic heating/cooling control.

The driver controls are well placed and easy to use, with Bluetooth connectivity and cruise control on the front of the steering wheel, and on the back the stereo controls and volume controls.

With folding the rear seats flat, you're able to load the car to make use of the hatchback.
