San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

It’s fast, fun, fresh, and just off the boat from Italy. What is it? Why, the 2012 Fiat 500 Pop, the cute new mini-car with a mini price tag to match (the starting MSRP is as low as $ 15,500), and now, thanks to CarSeek.com, the internet’s leading resource for car buyers and auto enthusiasts alike, there’s also a mini-interest rate: only 3.24%.

Why is CarSeek pushing this car? Company president and CEO Wes Mayder explains, “People want to economize by buying smaller cars that are fun to drive, and cheap to fuel up. The Fiat 500 Pop is a great example of something small and sporty, and compares favorably to the Mini Cooper and the Mazda2.”

Even better, that 3.24% rate gets you a car with a fuel efficiency of 30mpg in the city, 38 on the highway, and doesn’t require fancy premium gas – proving it is possible to save money and still be stylish. As well, the Fiat 500 costs more than $ 4,000 less than the Mini Cooper.

And CarSeek.com should know. After all, this is the company that has been matching car buyers with great deals on new and used cars from local dealers since 2002. With car loans and car insurance both offered in-house, it’s truly a one-stop shop for every automotive need.

If the colorful little Fiat isn’t to your taste, CarSeek can still help customers find their dream cars. The site offers an extensive database of new car reviews, as well as tips to help consumers save money at the dealer, maximize their insurance savings, and even evaluate which new technological toys they might want to add to their new ride.
