Should I Buy the 2023 Fiat 500X?
If you’re looking for more style in a subcompact SUV, the 500X is worth exploring. An optional retractable fabric roof is a unique feature, but there are some odd ergonomics in the cabin, and the automatic transmission’s refinement could be better. Also, many important active-safety features are optional rather than standard.
