Yikes!
I had to rent a 2013 Nissan sentra last year.
Acceleration was best described as “not today.”
How did the fiat do in comparison?

The Fiat 500 is SLOWER than a Nissan Sentra!

Even the Abarth version isn’t particularly fast by today’s standards.

Putting the seats very close to the surface of the road gives the illusion of speed, especially in a lightweight vehicle. Think how much fun a go-kart is.

Unresponsive acceleration out of a 130-hp Sentra? Those continuously-variable transmissions must be duds.
