No personal experience with the Fiat 500, but my son rented one for a week in southern Spain and had a ball.

In terms of build quality, performance, mileage and driving fun, I'd recommend looking at the Mazda3. It's one of Car & Drivers Top 10 (along with some very hot cars). I've owned both the 3 and 6 and both are great cars with among the very lowest depreciation in the business.
The Prius isn't all that small either. The Fiat wins that prize. And I agree with finn. The Mazda3 is the way to go. It's a little screamer.
