The best smallest electric car.
The only thing I would like changed is the battery life of the electric. And the battery to charge faster and more bells and whistles. I think it is a great car and cannot wait to buy a newer model. I would also buy a lighter color currently I owe a black car and it gets too hot.

Small, feisty and good for the environment.
Love this car. It is small and feisty. Being electric only, it helps keep carbon emissions down. Maintenance is low because there’s no oil changes. I have owned for a few years and have no problems. For some, range may be a problem, but I have a charger at home and can charge at work, but I do not really need to because I can easily make the trip.

Fantastic Little Electric Car
I live and work in the same town and my commute is literally 10 miles per week. An electric car just makes sense for me. My Fiat 500e is small and easy to park, however do not get fooled by the size! I can put the seats down and I have a ton of room for a lot of stuff-including my son's bari sax! The interior is cute and sporty with red stripes on the steering wheel and seats. The controls are very easy to use and are intuitively placed. The ride is smooth and it charges when I brake or coast. I love that it can be charged at my home with a 120v outlet. It does charge faster with 240 and those are easy to find when you are out and about. The downsides I see: It only has a range of 100 miles-not a problem for me, but others may think this is a downside. There are also blind spots. They have an extra side mirror that helps, but it is an issue.

This small car makes for big fun!
This is a super zippy little car. It has a lot of get up and go for its small size. It has a lot of nice features like SiriusXM radio and an on board tomtom GPS unit. The rear seat folds down which allows for much more room than it appears from the outside. Overall, I feel like I am on vacation in Italy every time I drive it!

Electric cars are awesome.
I love the electric car I drive the only drawback is the range of the battery. I love the fast pick up it has I love the way the car handles. I would purchase the fiat 500e again but not in black. The car gets to warm and then I need to run a/c which drain battery faster.

Cute and comfy! Like a go-cart.
This car is extremely comfortable and fun to drive. It is a bit like driving a go-cart! It does great even in the snow, except that in extremely cold weather the battery life is short (but approximately the same battery life lost due to temp as other evs). It charges very quickly. Only issues I have had is that hands free calling stopped working and needed repair, and if it sits on the wall charger for more than a week without being started, the 12v needs a trickle charger.

The fiat 500e, a compact wonder for city drivers.
The fact that the current models are limited to 84 miles at a full charge is upsetting. There are different vehicle makers that offer better mileage per full charge. Other than that I haven't had a problem with my vehicle. There are many websites that will tell you where a charging station is state wide. If you plan on going electric and only do city driving I highly suggest this vehicle for purchase.

I really love the speaker system. I feel they did good with it.
As of now I am good with my car. I have only really experienced problems with space in the car but that is only with others in it. When by myself I am fine. I find that comfort level is really good and that their features are very aesthetically pleasing.

Great compact car for individual.
My favorite thing about my car is that it is small and comfortable. It is the perfect car for me. The only thing I do not like sometimes, is that when I want to have a family trip, I cannot take my car with me. Because there is not enough space. Other than that it is a great car.
