Cool and fun

I thoroughly like this SUV for its distinctive styling and several features that you'd not expect to see on a vehicle in this class. It handles well and provides a good, solid ride. The 4 cylinder engine is smaller than what I have previously been used to and is a bit slow to respond by comparison, but capable and even peppy although it does have a tendency to be a bit sluggish sometimes at low speeds. Overall, I am very satisfied with his vehicle and am looking forward to enjoying it for years to come. The one thing that most attracted me to the car in the first place was what I see as a great value. Bought this one used, got a great deal and have been pleasantly surprised at performance and overall quality.

Great everyday around town car

I needed an economical everyday car. This was perfect for me. I am a single mom so my budget is tight. The features are great. Front seats are comfortable, rear is a little cramped. Cargo space is just enough. It's size makes it really easy to get around and doesn't take up the whole garage. So far, I am very pleased with this vehicle. Only cons would be not very fast and small rear seats.

Love this car!

We own a 2016 FIAT 500X with the Lounge trim. Leather seats, navigation system, AWD. Really enjoy this car. Power is good, especially when switching to sport mode. The AWD is perfect in the winter, we live in a rural area of the Shenandoah Valley Virginia. We've made 12 hour road trips in this car carrying four adults, no problem. Happily recommend this car!

Fiat 500x AWD

We traded in a winter vehicle & a summer car for this car. The AWD is a must for me. I also like the performance / economy switches for the trans. With 180 horses, the performance setting really gets that thing moving. Good gas mileage also.
