Excellent AC, love the remote start and sport mode

This is an excellent commuter car. It has fantastic AC, is comfortable and does well in sport mode. The only downsides are the lack of Apple Car Play and the standard cruise control vs the adaptive cruise control.

This was the best car I've owned...

As a former SAAB owner I didn't know what kind of car to get when they went out of business. This car was fun, reliable, and a great driving experience.

It’s okay

Ac already went bad after having it serviced. Car is already overheating with only 36k miles due to bad ac. But overall great car for a couple with maybe 1 kid

Very happy with the purchase of my Fiat

So far so good! My Fiat is a fun car for me to drive. We have the AWD SUV. The gas mileage is phenomenal. It has a very comfortable ride. I'm very happy with this car.

Erratic shifting, very poor resale value, noisy

It should be illegal to sell a car with such poor resale value; more than 50% in 18 months. Erratic shifting, very poor resale value, noisy Ride. Just a bad value. There?s so much better out there.

Love this car so much

I love this car so much! It?s such a unique look and the inside is so cool. The dash always matched the color of your car which I think is awesome! If you like unique cars this is definitely a great option! It drives really smooth and I drive about an hour to work and back. The gas is great to! One thing I will complain about is I got a 2016 used Fiat 500X Pop and the radio was so outdated. It didn?t come with Bluetooth or back up camera. I?m not about having all the extra amenities but I think Bluetooth is important so you can answer phone calls without holding the phone to your ear, which is now illegal. But other then that, it?s amazing.

Unique and cute design.

I liked Unique and cute design and I bought it. It has as good a driving performance as that stylish design. It is a little unstable in the low speed range, but it does not matter if you get used to it.

My first car and I love it

I bought my 2016 Fiat 500x easy a little over a month ago used with 47,000 miles already on it, in the short time that I?ve owned it I?ve already put about 3,000 miles on it just from everyday driving and a long road trip to Canada. I love this car!! It?s my first car as I?m only 18 and I pay for it all by myself which is another thing I love: it?s cheap. All in all per month it costs me about $380 with insurance and gas. Which is super reasonable for a teenager or someone who needs a nice car but can?t spend a lot of money. Mine has AWD which I also love even though I haven?t driven it in the snow yet, I know it?s going to be perfectly fine. My only drawbacks which don?t really matter to me but would probably annoy some people who are more into cars, is that the transmission is SLOW. Also not a lot of torque so it takes some effort to get it up to speed. It?s totally fine once it?s up there it just takes some effort and can be kind of loud and off putting when accelerating. But I love it and it?s the perfect car for me!

Cute little car

Never thought of a fiat, but my hubby is Italian and told me to give it a try...it?s small and fun...the dashboard has the exterior metal (same color) giving it a sports car kinda feel...love the feel of the steering wheel, small and very responsive again giving it a sporty feel..the driver seat could be a little more comfortable, but it?s not uncomfortable...roomy hatch compartment considering that the car is small..love the double glove compartments...decent sound system...fun to drive...
