2015 FIAT 500 consumer reviews

I loved driving this car, I came away thinking about it. I loved the color, the size, and that it was a manual. In the end, though, I was looking for something more reliable. Fun doesn't save money on repairs.

I bought this car for the style and economic value. Turns out it here are something that I really don't like about it. I'm currently pregnant with my third child and will need to sale the car soon do do it not being compatible with seat 3 car seat comfortable in the second row. The air conditioning system sucks as well there is no air conditioning vents in the back row which has my children sweating in the back in the vegas summer months. There is no spare tire. The oil changes are expensive and can only be done at fiat specific dealerships that are not near me which I never get a discount on. Gas mileage is average considering the car type. My key seems to get stuck in the egnition for some reason and the door handles seem to be cheap and hard to open at times. Iv had this car for a little over a year and already ready to get rid of it.

Small but wicked, car is great feels strong and high quality. Also gets great gas mileage. Great car

I have the Abarth version. This car has been great. I can fit every thing in the car I need to, I have a child with a graco 4 in one and it fits perfect. I can put the stroller in, go grocery shopping. I can easily pop out seats if needed to fit giant stuff like rocking chair. As far as performance I have not driven the car with out a smile on my face. Car stock is a joy, I have made some upgrades and its even better.

It is my dream car! It's so fun to drive and easy to handle. People think little cars aren't safe, but that's not true anymore.

Great little get around car. Fun to drive also though it takes some getting used to. More roomy inside than it looks.

Decent mpg, not great as you would expect, lack of power makes you tax the engine uncomfortably. Overall, it's serviceable, but with a harsh ride, lack of power, and ok mpg, I'd steer to a different brand.

We added a 500 Sport to our small fleet which already had a much loved 500 Abarth. Our Sport is loaded, w a glass roof, heated leather seats, auto climate, Beats stereo, etc, etc, rivaling the equipment of luxury cars from 15 years ago. It doesn't ride as smoothly as the Accord it replaced due to its sport-tuned suspension and short wheelbase, but it' s 10 times more fun and make every trip feel special, which is a feat for an inexpensive car. High speed stability and handling are impressive and its tiny tuning circle makes it a giggle to maneuver in the city and park. Being Italian, it oozes character, which is a welcome antidote to the sea of dull look-alike cars clogging the roads. Not a rocket ship (The Abarth the one to get if you want performance) but it's quick enough for a small city car it loves to rev . We love its rorty engine note too. It's a very small car obviously, but is pretty spacious, especially given its exterior dimensions, and the rear seats can accommodate two 5'-10" adults easily in relative comfort, much to our friends' surprise. 5 Star safety rating too! We looked at Minis but found them way overpriced new, and in the latest generation, ugly and bloated, and not so Mini anymore. Also, the Fiat is much more reliable.

I was looking for a car like this for a while. The total experience was quite good, finding the car, contacting the dealer, and buying it was simple and successful. This is what I was looking for and I'm quite happy.

This car is an Abarth so it has plenty of power and a great exhaust note. I am a paraplegic and this car works great for me. I roll up to the side of the vehicle. Get in. Remove the big wheels and lift the chair over my shoulder into the back (I removed the rear seat to accommodate this practice. now I can drive my self rather than have to rely on others.
