Looking forward to driving in snow

Meets all of my needs but would have been better if it came with a CD player. However it does have USB ports and plugs for other adapters.

Very enjoyable to drive

This car is comfortable , has blue tooth, usb, and plenty of room. It is economical and has lots of extra's like lights that turn on in the direction you are turning making turning easier, passive entry, very roomy hatch area. The radio sound increases with speed and decreases as you slow. The seats are very comfortable. There is a lot to this cross over type and I really like the body style. I am more than pleased and wish this one would last forever.

Perfect car for me

Bought this car used. It was my second choice of cars but am very happy with it. The only thing is the lack of pep. Would have preferred a manual transmission but it's not available with this trim (Lounge). I can actually feel it when the car upshifts so that is something to improve. Otherwise, perfect size, perfect design inside and out and overall fun to drive.

The Crossover You Never Knew You Wanted

I purchased my 2016 Fiat 500x with the Trekking Plus trim on 7/15/2017. I ?fell in-like? with it online through my bank?s auto navigator site. I feel in love with it about two weeks later after driving it for about a week. All my prior vehicles were either manufactured by Honda or Nissan, so I was new to the ?Fiat Experience?. It handles really well and takes sharp curves like a motorcycle on four wheels. The interior black leather with red highlights is something to behold, as well. And, everyone loves the panoramic sunroof. The entertainment/media features are spectacular with 8 Beats speakers, Sirius/XM radio, 2 USB inputs, an aux input, and Bluetooth to round out the team making the 500x a dream crossover vehicle for its class and price. The downside, I purchase an introductory year of the 500x. Which is something, up until this year, I have never done. As a result, I have spent far more time at the service center than I planned on costing me mileage and time. I drove approximately 50 miles to purchase my 500x with the intentions of it being my only trip to the dealership. First, the driver side seatbelt panel was broken. Then the liftgate latch broke. There was also a malfunction with either the keyless entry key fob or the sensor in the vehicle. Several times over the first month, I would be driving and the computer would indicate the key fob had left the vehicle. ?It hadn?t, but it did freak me out for a moment. All of the defects have been covered under the manufactured warranty so beside time and mileage I haven't had to pay for the repairs. Now that all of them have been fixed, we're back in business. I will say, unless you purchase this model/year with a warranty and extended wrap-around warranty be sure to budget for the unexpected costs.

Awesome Car

This car has met all of my needs. The performance leaves a bit to be desired, but this is the price you pay for fuel efficiency. Overall the car is great, comfortable, and always fun to be in.

Great vehicle for the price

Driver assist features such as back up camera, lane change warning plus the comfort while driving all make this an awesome vehicle.

My Trekking Plus is the classiest car I've owned.

Plenty of room and my passenger say the comfort of the seats is top notch. The leather screams sophistication and the dual moon roofs are icing on the cake. I love this car!!!

Excellent all around car

This is my second Fiat. I up-sized from the smaller Fiat. Have enjoyed it thus far. Only complaint would be more engine power.

It's hard to tell right now.....

It's only been one day, so I can't really tell how good it is yet. But as of now, it's doing good so far.
