2012 FIAT 500 consumer reviews

So I will say that it gets good mileage and is easy to park. Let’s start with the unsafe stuff 1st and yes I have let fiat know and they didn’t care. The back tires don’t have a kit to repair alignment there is no easy way to repair back tire alignment .there is a huge process that would take the mechanic a long time to repair it. I contacted fiat about this and they confirmed it’s a labor intensive process. The next unsafe thing : the headrests are really high and obstruct some Of the view out of the windows , especially the back window. Next unsafe thing : the engine is not well made and parts are waitlisted for several weeks. They don’t reimburse for the waittime and they didn’t care or seem to understand that engine part shortages mean the engine is not the best quality they they could achieve . Next unsafe thing: 3 of my rims have broken off without me hitting so much as a small twig on the road. Creates a road hazard for others during on the road they could run over it. Notice how the new model rims are different ?but no recall. So they knew it’s bad but are just acting like the update is for style. Things that just bug me. The indoor air filter takes 3 different types of tools to change, little things break , basically you name a little piece in this car and it’s broken off . The handle finish comes off and cuts people’s hands , especially the elderly. The top of the car doesn’t appear to be uv filter because I have gotten sunburned driving the car and with the glass top and gray cover closed. The little gray cover is see though and offers very little protection from the sun. I feel like the company doesn’t care because none of these things have caused major injuries. fiat Fix It Again Tomorrow.

I like the 5 speed stick. Feels sporty when driving. Bought to flat tow behind RV. Enough room for wife and I and our German shepherd.

This car is pretty functional and it looks good. I appreciate this purchase (which went smoothly as well). Its absolutely fantastic for local commuting and errands.

I love the car! But I dont understand the sport button? I can slide the shifter over and just pull back on the shifter when I want to shift through all 6 gears or I can just put it in drive and let it shift itself so what is the sport button for? Gas mileage is GREAT and there is plenty of room in this car! I bought it with 63,000 miles on it!

It is great on gas, very comfortable and great styling. This is the second one that I have owned and they are awesome until you start having issues. If you buy it make sure everything checks out before you commit. Good luck!

So easy and fun to own. Reliable and affordable, sporty & stylish. Fast and peppy. Tons of headroom and legroom which is surprising for a small car. Amazingly big trunk can handle anything! When I decided to sell I immediately went to look for a new Fiat. GREAT CARS.

The car is fun to drive and easy on the pocket. The Abarth is very peppy and a lot of fun the drive. No issues so far and good on gas.

Very fun to drive and very economical. I average 38 MPG. This car is a great value for the money. It has never let me down.

I have a plate in my neck I have no problem getting in and out. The seats are comfortable. The car is very preppie and on the interstate it will get you a ticket. The engine doesn?t rev at high speeds it just goes. Great little car.

Most practical, reasonable and commutable car that could have ever been made. Has heated seats, sunroof, 6-speed automatic, USB port, Bluetooth and sensors when reversing, also hill start assistance.
