It handles well and brakes well.

It is a good car for short people. The seat goes all the way forward and up. It handles well.

It is an all around great small family car.

It is a great car. It has great trunk space, and good seating space for a small car. It gets good gas mileage as well. I wish it accelerated a little bit quicker. It stops quick, and the turning radius is great. I do wish it wasn't so expensive to get anything repaired on it.

It is very comfortable, easy to drive and fancy-looking.

The fiat (2016) is an amazing car for those who like taking closed curves and dislike big car or taking big spaces. The car is modern and fancy looking, very comfortable and has more space than what it is imagined. 3-5 normal sized people can perfectly fit and enjoy good music since the car has speakers both in front and on the back which allows the music to fill the environment because a is small car.

The gas mileage is amazing and it's very affordable.

I love pretty much everything about my car. Only thing I would say is that the blind spots can be hard to see.

Fiat of my dreaming future.

There are no issues so far. The model is my favorite design, I have always liked beetle shaped models, so this was an easy choice. It has good mileage, I would like an electric model though. Gasoline is so outdated. And maybe a model upgrade altogether, so it has many of the features in current vehicles.

It is a fun and easy way to travel back and forth to my destinations. It gets good gas mileage and is a good size for me to get around in.

The Fiat 500 is a small yet functional car that is fun to drive!

I love how there is green on the inside that matches the outside of the car!

I have a green fiat 500 pop. I got it for my 16th birthday and I have never had to take my car in for the last 5 years! It is so reliable, I love it! Super comfortable and a great first car. Taught me how to drive standard. We have owned two fists in my family and we all love them.

She's safe, efficient, and a fun cruiser!

This car is perfect for me. I am a single rider plus I have a small dog that occasionally rides with me in it. It is bigger than it looks on the outside. Full grown men can ride in the passenger seats. The driver seat has many controls that offer a good position for your specific comfort for driving. It offers a pump up or down for tall or short drivers. Of course you are able to make adjustments forward and backward too. It has two arm rests vs the previous models that only had one front armrest between the passengers. The seats in the backrest down and allow you to fit many more things in. It is good for a small or single family when going for common grocery shopping. I love the smooth drive and above all it's great on gas! I filled her up at 17$ here in Austin, Texas for a full tank. I never have a hard time finding parking for its compact size gives me an advantage.

For short city driving only, not good for road trips or moving.

Decent gas, little room, good electronics and visibility, no legroom, uncomfortable ride, small amount of cargo space, very small tank, some minor luxury features broke quickly such as radio buttons turn signals, and the seat retractor.

Bluetooth offers 5 spots for devices also more than one charging ports for phones.

I live in the city, this car is perfect for parking, maneuvering and transportation. I first bought the car to get back and forth to the hospital for cancer treatment. I have also had several friends borrow my fiat for moving. With the seats down, I can still fit 3 Rubbermaid bins in the back.

Juan S

I recommend my car, good performance.

My vehicle is really good, and I never complained about my vehicle. I have not seen a problem yet and performance is really good. Reliability is also pretty awesome and comfort is obviously good too. Features are really variously awesome also. I really recommend my vehicle to other people because as I said it was satisfied until now.

Jamie S

It is an okay car but I do not know if it is worth it.

It shakes after going 70 mph. It does not drive in the snow at all. The radio has a mind of its own.

Mark J

It's all electric so it does not need any gas.

It's the 500e so it's all electric. I like it and it does what I got it for, but the distance on a charge is limited and has It's restrictions. I would like it much more if the distance was a lot better.

mozetta R

It is good on gas mileage.

It performs good but the door handle are not any good and the front headlight are not good... I have to keep replacing booth door handles because they are very cheap material but they are very expensive. I will never buy another fiat, and would not recommend them to anyone.

Kristina Y

The design is adorable and unique, I enjoy driving it around. Tiny but cute.

Its a amazing car, easy to drive, small, and comfy. Has lots of space in the trunk. And the design is cute. However, it has difficulty in speeding up and long drives. Benefits are you can fit into tiny spaces and park anywhere. Although it's a nice student car, the maintenance is a bit pricey and often. I had a positive experience.
