2016 FIAT 500e consumer reviews

This car is awsome. It's very reliable and the beauty is that, you almost never have maintenance on it. Its clean and is pretty comfy.

I bought the 2016 Fiat 500e in 2019, as an off-lease used car with 45,000 miles on it. As of this review I now have 49,000 miles and the car still drives and performs like a new car. The 2016 model is somewhat updated from earlier versions, I can easily drive up to 90 miles around town, or up to about 75 miles at highway speeds. The car has acceleration like a sports car and is extremely easy to drive and park just about anywhere. The interior is well designed and surprisingly spacious. For an average commuter driving typically less than 60 miles per day, this car works well and saves a lot of money by not buying gas. One of the non-advertised features is that the Fiat factory supplied charging cord can be used on 120 Volts (Level 1 charging) or 240 Volts (Level 2 charging). This means that you do not need to purchase additional expensive charging equipment to fully charge the car in about 6 hrs. This car does not have a big enough battery for long trips, but as a low maintenance, money saving commuter car, this car is truly a hidden gem in the EV market. I would highly recommend this car.

With less than 28k miles this car has issues car has recalls - day light sockets faulty yet I pay to replace - plastic panels on interior and exterior falling off

I love the retro design of the Fiat 500e. I have excess solar capacity on my house so I won't need to buy any gasoline or electricity.

I literally traveled across the nation to find the Fiat 500x of my dreams - and I don't regret doing it. I knew I'd love the car, but after four days of cross country driving, I'm sure of it. The comfort is not to be understated, nor the quality of the ride. Add to that, the unique styling and beautiful interior (Brown leather on mine), and every trip is a pleasure.

Good and Bad. We just bought a used 2014 500e with 28k miles. Dealers are currently offering nice pricing as many 2014's are coming off-lease and being turned in. We paid $7500 + tax. which seems very cheap for car that cost $30K a few years ago. The limited market and relatively high production volume keep the current resale value low. The car is blast to drive at lower speeds... It's very quick and can zip in and out of traffic lightning fast. It feels light, nimble and could probably beat many expensive sports cars up to about 60mph. If you install a 240v fast-charger in your garage and only commute in the city or shorter distances -- the car is fantastic. BUT If you have to travel over 25 miles on the freeway to work, I'm sorry to say the car is a joke. I simply would not recommend this car for commuting! The problem is that once you exceed 50mph, the battery charge diminishes shockingly fast, to the point where you may be scared you won't make it. It almost seems as though the car needs some kind of overdrive system because it uses tons of energy at 65mph, even with little throttle. In the city, it has regenerative braking to help recharge, but on the highway the motor eats battery power like crazy. The fully-charged "96-mile range" can only last about 40 miles at constant 65mph. If you commute on the freeway, you'd better have a fast-charger at work or you may not make it home.

I have a great time driving this car. The mpg is great and really saves me money. Easy to get around in and spacious for a small car.

Fiat is the cutest car on the road today. You can't help check it out when it passes you on the road. I watch drivers turn their heads when they see a Fiat....especially a red fiat. Love this little car. Would love to dress it up in Disney Mickey Style. I highly recommend this FUN Car.

Excellent value on lease always drove luxury cars past 40 years Wasted hundred of thousand dollars on cars with nothing to show Other than range which is 90% of my drives the car is excellent and very peppey Very happy with purchase

Just leased a Fiat 500e and i love it! It's an all electric car! with all the benefits of a great around town car I will get plenty of cheap miles out of it.
