Fun, quick, Italian style

The engine is just what the tiny car needs, and not a bit more, but the look inside and out is underway for the price, as is the mileage.

I have had 2 flat tires from potholes in 4 months.

Awesome to look at. Love how it handles. Complements galore. I hit a small pot hole and got a flat tire. I do not know what happened the second time, but I got a flat and bent the strut. Both times I was going between 25 and 30. How do I feel safe again?

Fun economical and reliable ride!

I got the 2013 fiat 500 sport used with around 75000 miles on it. Test drove it and was very impressed with the little sport even though it had just over 100 hp under the hood it felt zippy with the 5 speed. I loved driving this car everyday that I hardly used my new 2016 truck with 6000 miles on it oh well it might as well gather cobwebs because I have fun fun fun driving this little bugger..lol!

Great road trip car!

I love this car. It's perfect for two with a spacious trunk and rear seats that fold down. The sporty style draws a lot of attention - it's a real conversation starter! The great gas mileage makes it the best road trip or commuter car. The size makes it super easy to park. Seriously, what's not to like?

Great gas mileage car

The car has great gas mileage and is a very dependable vehicle. Can be a little cramped if your taller but overall a great vehicle.

Coolest little car i ever drove

I think this vehicle is well made a bit small in the driver seat, handles well, and easily fits in tight spaces and spots. Owning this car isn't just about saving the money for gas but it shows a part of the drivers characteristics and personality of having one. For you males that are hesitant about owning a Fiat no worries get your golfers cap on sit in the car and fit perfect with the Italian model car.

Very reliable and fun to drive

Great car for the price, very affordable all around, i.e. maintenance, fuel and insurance. Fun to drive and great for commuting to work or school.

LOVE THIS CAR!

Bought it used with 50K, great car for the price. It's one of my favorite vehicles that I've ever owned and I've owned quite a few. Only negative is it doesn't have much uphill power, but that's not a big deal, once it gets going, its quick and zippy!

Great used car

Great fun car with a character, runs great and fast for a small engine. An Italian icon from the past reborn in modern times but still has its old charm and character from the past.

Clutch Failed Poor Design and Materials

Advise everyone not to buy Fiat. Look up Clutch Failures online. The Clutch failed at 126000 Miles. The Car is one month past the 48 Month Power train warranty. Fiat says this vehicle no longer under warranty. Wis I had researched Fiat 500 Clutch Failure before I purchased.
