2015 FIAT 500 consumer reviews

I LOVE THIS CAR!! Extremely reliable and safe!! I was in a car accident today after I got off work. I was rear-ended by someone going 20-25mph which made me rear-end the person in front of me! Thankfully none of us were seriously injured but our car, Sofia, sustained way less damage than she rightfully should have! Even the fire fighters and police commented on how surprised they were! Having one solid steel frame saved me from being injured and saved our Sofia from being totalled! The Havrilla's are customers for life! Thank you so much Fiat!!

Less then reliable and a complete lemon! Even the dealer stated that in writing! Car has been in service mode then 60 days! It’s falling apart!

From the time I bought the car shortly thereafter small things started happening on the interior the seats wouldn't recline or go forward. I had to end up putting a pillow behind my back because my back part of my seat wouldn't lift up completely to keep me upright. I've taken it to the dealership mckevitt Fiat they claim they fixed it but it's still the same I'm still using a pillow and if you move the seat it's going to either extend way far back or so far forward that you can't drive. Also for about three months my car kept popping out of gear while I was driving I was on the freeway and when it popped out of gear I turn the car off so I'm on the freeway and I've lost all power to my car petrified scared to death. Finally get it to the side of the shoulder I called mckevitt Fiat they let me bring it in and they're those typical thing they say is they can't recreate what I claimed happened. After a few days I took the car back home reluctantly and it happened again. This was in 2018 now recently 2019 about a week ago I was driving this car and the brakes completely failed they went straight to the floor there was no resistance in the steering wheel I almost ran two people over the emergency brake failed for about 10 seconds and then finally kicked in. I was scared to death have it towed to mckevitt Fiat in Berkeley they had it for 3 days told me that my car is out of warranty but there was a computer failure the computer failed to register the vehicle was on there was a software update the computer did not get and they say that's probably why that happened. But as I said I'm out of warranty now and they're doing as little as possible and taking no responsibility it's a mechanical failure they keep the car for three days claim they are once again trying to recreate the problem I pick the car up on the fourth day which was Friday the 11th only two drive home and I have a very steep driveway as I'm trying to drive down the driveway I go to apply the brakes and my car slides down the hill of the Steep Hill in my garage I pull the emergency brake and it's steady sliding it's not stopping my car now I just got it out of the shop where they say they couldn't recreate this problem I have it all of an hour and go to apply the brakes to parking I failed once again. The lack of customer service or care or concern is highly offencive. I almost ran two people over when the brakes failed it was traffic time commute time Madison a busy downtown San Francisco I was lucky I didn't hit and kill someone or hurt myself. These people need to do better buy the products that they are putting out there that was a clear manufacturer failure as the service man Sergio told me the manager that the computer failed to recognize the car was turned on. How is that my fault how is that something I should be out of pocket for. They never gave me a rent a car from the time I bought the car shortly thereafter small things started happening on the interior the states wouldn't recliner go forward. I had to end up putting a pillow behind my back because my back part of my seat wouldn't lift up completely to get me up right. I've taken it to the dealership make of it but they claim they fixed it but it's still the same I'm still using a pillow and if you move to see it's going to either extend way far back or so far forward that you can't drive. Also for about 3 months my car kept popping out of gear while I was driving I was on the freeway and when it popped out of gear it turn the car off so I'm on the freeway and I've lost all power to my car petrified scared to death. Finally get it to the side of the shoulder I calm a cavity up and let me bring it in and their nose typical thing they say they can't recreate what I claim happened. After a few days I took the car back home reluctant Lee and it happened again. This weekend 2018 now recently 2019 about a week ago I was driving this car and the brakes completely filled they went straight to the floor there was no resistance in the steering wheel I almost ran to people over the emergency brake failed for about 10 seconds of them finally kicked in. I was scared to death hot it towed to book a bit theater in Berkeley they had it for 3 days told me that my car is out of warranty but there was a computer failure the computer failed to register the vehicle was on there was a software update the computer did not get and they say that's probably why that happened. I feel I got a lemon. I only have 23,000 miles .

I owned a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth ( Automatic) from 3/15 until 6/18 . 25k miles, Not a single problem with it. Lots of character and fairly economical at ~30 mpg (+ or -) . Yes its small but she is quite quick with the sport button pushed ( supposedly adds 20 lb ft of torque and keeps it in a lower gear). This was my second Abarth as I also owned a 2013 5spd . I enjoyed the 2015 automatic much more than the earlier 5spd manual....but since I have owned two I can assure you they are fun, reliable, and you likely wont regret the purchase. I still miss my 2015 version.

The Fiat Abarth is the most fun&fast understated car you can buy.... after driving it into a telephone pole totaling the car and walking away without a scratch I would purchase another one just for the fact that it save my sons life

The US version of the Abarth is completely different than the EU version. With ~$1500 and a couple of hours in the garage you can transform this "cute little girls car" in an absolute (~280hp) beast. It performs like crazy and sounds better than most sports cars while doing so. Don't buy this car if you don't like attention! The reliability is italien ... get the Abarth and get it as stick!!

Got it when I was in a pinch. Great price for a brand new car. Great gas mileage. Took it on a couple long trips. Gets tight with 4 people in it, but 2 is just fine.

It?s the most amazing car I?ve owned since my 1983 golf rabbit. I love it so much, performance, speed and handling is amazing. I couldn?t recommend this car enough, I love it every time I drive it.

My wife loved the car . We grew out of it with having kids and we have moved on from it. Very sophisticated style of vehicle.

This car is easy to drive, pleasant to the eye, and economical. The ride is not bad for a compact car. Mine is automatic, climate control, heated seats, cruise control, sport model and cruise control.
