The performance was amazing.
Great experience as it was comfortable. The features was very good and it is a reliable car. The performance was amazing as it will attract buyers. I saw quite a few really nice looking cars. There were no problems with any of the cars. I also like the inside of the car as it was clean.

It's very cool and fun to drive.
Sensor problems the vehicle is very nice when it drives but after fifty thousand miles has a few problems such as sensors. I love the car because is small reliable and good on gas. Also the model of the car is very nice inside and the music system sounds good and I like the interior of the car.

Biggest bang for the buck!!!
Definitely five stars. I have put 186,000 miles on this vehicle in three years, in all kinds of driving conditions. My most expensive repair has cost me around $400.I fully suspect this car will go at least 300,000 miles. In Europe some people have been able to easily get this vehicle to go to 400,000 miles. What a great car, what a great value. If I were or represented an American auto maker, I too would be scratching around looking to keep this car out of the USA as much as possible.

Love my fiat! Great for errands and kids love it.
The 5 speed manual is so much fun to drive. It handles great! The gas mileage is amazing as well. Perfect for around town but wouldn’t use if you regularly drive on highways. Every once in a while it is fine though. Fiat is great about service and any issues.

Great Towing Vehicle
Fun to drive. Great for RV towing. (5 speed manual only). The turbo gives it great zip and handling. Great gas mileage. Easy parking and takes up no space. Plenty room for my wife and I.

Perfect car unless you like cargo SUV
I own this 2012 fiat 500 since 2016 and thanks to some of the bad press I paid a very reasonable price for it. True there is not a lot of garages around with the Fiat logo but it is a very simple car to take care of and any mechanic with a little brain can do the fixing. I love the idea that I am not moving around tons of metal just to get to the corner store and this cuty does a terrific job all around the rural area were we live with a powerful sound system and not too much gas.

It's super cute and really fun to drive. I love my car.
Cheap, cute car, manual transmission, super fun to drive. Might need to replace hubcaps, headlights, and car door handles yearly. Make sure to get ice tires, and try to be careful while driving in the snow. Do not purchase if you live in the mountains. It is great car for first time drivers and inner city driving.

No replacement part available
I bought a 2019 fiat 4 door in late October. After barely a month and a mere 1200 km, it died. Since that time, I have still not had my car repaired. After numerous lies that the part was on the way on a certain date (was told it will arrive late December, then February, then March), I see that part doesn't even exist. I am now in arbitration with Fiat to at least get my money back. Has been a total nightmare and stress. It's going on SIX months.

The best of this car for your money.
This vehicle has its share of problems just like any other, but does not have any that are not common. This is a very reliable vehicle and very comfort. The performance of the vehicle is very well. It gets average gas mileage. I love the radio in the car. It's my favorite part.
