Super fun second city car.
Range anxiety is real. This is a great city car but if you want to take weekend trips, you'll need a second car. It only seats 2 comfortably and does not carry much cargo. It is super fun to drive. It is so fast off the mark it feels like you may lift off! It is cute and unique looking.

Great daily electric-commuter!
Performance and visual appeal is great! I enjoy not spending money on fuel (petro). I do wish it had a longer battery life so that my family and I can travel out town with. There is not much space for cargo but as a daily commuter not much room is needed.

Some good stuff, some not so much.
The battery range on this fiat ev is adequate for my driving needs but I cannot chance getting on a freeway as acceleration to higher speed uses up battery charge way too quickly. Also the size of this car is a dangerous factor. Other drivers do not see me as readily (especially if in an SUV or truck). The basic handbook dispensed with the vehicle to provide instructions is nearly worthless as it does not provide enough detail specific to this model and what it has, let alone how to operate it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Nate H.

It was a little too small for me. But this vehicle is pretty awesome! I can see this one being spacious for the smaller person. The features and design of the interior is sleek! If you are looking for a nice vehicle with great mileage, this one's for you!

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Nate H.

The cons is that it is too small for me. Cannot put a lot of things in it. That is pretty much it. I like the features of it. Smaller people would enjoy this sweet ride. The cup holders are not that accommodating for many travel mugs. Just some minor cons.
