came to this place just to see and we ended up buying a car from Jonathan Lino. Great person and easy to deal with. Got us a great price and also a monthly payment that fits our budget.
I live in the hills of Los Angeles. I can only go about 50 Miles to leave and get home. So if you have a daily commute that's short you will love the car.
Battery is the problem!
Honestly, the test drive sold me on this car. I looked at cars that were $10k more than this, yet in comparison this car performed just as well or even better. Smooth acceleration, quiet ride, easy maneuvering, and a quality, polished interior. The infotainment system is also easy to use and has the up to date necessities like Bluetooth streaming, voice command, and satellite radio. The only downsides I've experienced is that it's got a small, not-so-versatile interior and the range is on average 100mi, so it's only ideal for short commutes. Overall a great performing car with a lot of personality!
I absolutely love my 2017 Fiat 500e. It has plenty of off the line power and great distance on a single charge. I have no range anxiety as long as I know my route. The Interior is roomy for 2 (not a great vehicle for 4). It has wonderful features such as Bluetooth and Navigation. I would highly recommend it!
The Fiat 500 e is so much fun it should illegal for anyone under 21. Really !! It has great comfort and performance with a Euro flare. And you can feel good about it having zero emissions. Seating space is appropriate and rear hatch storage is more than enough for shopping , errands or a couple of overnight bags when heading to the airport.
I leased a Fiat 500e really not knowing if this would be a great commute car but I've been pleasantly surprised. My daily commute is about 35 to 40 miles which means that I can take the full trip from home to the office in one single charge (range is about 87 miles). It also helps that the office has charging stations and a charge from 10% to 100% will take about 3 to 4 hours.
So, now having clocked up over 5000 miles in 4 months I really enjoy the drive of the vehicle. The torque is also impressive especially from 30 to 50. Freeway driving does limit the range but the moment i'm off the freeway the (braking regenerating) will increase the range. Having the obtained the car pool lane stickers has also reduced my commute by 10-15 minutes.
What you will find thats annoying is the general availability to charge the vehicle at different locations. These can be taken up (example at malls) which can be frustrating, so I would strongly recommend to use apps such at ChargePoint to plan ahead. This is not down to the vehicle, but it is the general issue with owning an electric vehicle.
We also use the vehicle to do our grocery shopping at the weekend and although the space at the back is limited we have been able to place all our shopping in the back. At occasions, the ease of placing the back seat down has helped. I also like the App which allows me to start the air con 10-15 before I get back to the car but in general the App does need some updates to improve the functionality.
Pros:
1. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth.
2. Good technology, such as media player (USB option), Sirius FM, Navigation
3. Incentives, tax and rebates
Cons:
1. App could be improved
2. Limited space in the back for 2 adults.
3. Small vehicle (this is felt in particular on freeways).
We needed a vehicle to run errands that would save us money. We need to charge it every 2nd or 3rd day and the electricity cost is far less than what we were spending on fuel at the pump.
Overall I had a pretty good experience. I went there and got the car I wanted and there was no hassle. The guy was super friendly and helpful.
2015 FIAT 500e Battery Electric Review
Great work car commuter, nothing more than that.

It’s great for commuting to work and back but can’t go too far due to the range being limited. The seats are somewhat comfortable, not too bad. There is virtually no leg room in the backseats. It definitely is for small kids only and no adults. Over all it’s great for a one to two person commute around town and work. Nothing more than that.
The fiat 500E is a great little car to have for everyday errands and to dash around when you don't want to drive your other car. It can be your main car also but it's sure peppy and quick and is a great fun. My other car is a SL63 which is quiet different and guzzles gas and is nothing like this little car. Although the Fiat is more spacious and easier to get in and out of and I have no worry when I drive it around. I have really enjoyed this car and drive it way more than my other cars.
Very satisfying experience with my first new car in a very long time. It really was no stress test dealing with Mitsubishi's experienced mechanics. I cannot remember the name of the Dealer who helped us get the car. I have it written down in folder, can't get to the folder right. Just wanted to say he was very good - excellent w/helping us purchase our new car [2013 Chevy Volt Hatchback, Hybrid}. Extra thank you to him.
I was so lucky to meet Poul at front desk of universal Mitsubishi , he was sooooo helpful,caring ,super skiled, quick, multitask and most important human being Thank you Poul , I really appreciate it , we need more of you in this world 👍🏻👍🏻Great service
