Is the Fiat 500 safe enough for family use?

The Fiat 500 features standard safety equipment including multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and traction control. The seats incorporate fabric treated with a biocide substance for protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The cabin air filter also features similar antimicrobial treatment. The (RED) Edition optionally includes the UV-C sanitising glove box. For buyers considering the Fiat 500, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
