I have had the car for 3ish years now and have had minor issues.
The car works really well. The color is nice and there's leather seats, heated too. The sound system is by beats by Dr. Dre, and the radio is hand touch with multiple things like Bluetooth and a talking navigation system. The gear shift is both manual and automatic. The car can fit up to 5 people and has a good amount of trunk space. There is a reclining sunroof as well but my caught on something so I had to take it down and get a new one.

It's really roomy inside, even though it's a fairly small car.
Pro: Really fun to drive. Handles well. Great seat adjustments. Good gas mileage. Cute. Con: Seatbelt doesn't adjust.

Only maintenance performed
Can honestly say I absolutely love this car. I’ve only completed the routine maintenance on it and have no major issues after 2 years of having it. Bigger than it looks and it crosses over to being able to store big items if needed. Looks sporty and is very fast. The Fiat 500L is great on gas and I trust my families safety with it.

Fiat 500l great travel vehicle that provides comfort for all.
No problems love the back seat sits deep and even taller adults are comfortable. The hatch back is deep and holds several large suitcases. Great Gas mileage makes it an awesome travel vehicle. Extra safety features sold me.

Love my fiat, especially the adorable color and fun convertible top.
Car is small but roomy enough for me and is more solid on the highway than I was expecting. Great color, just a really fun car to drive. It is had some odd annoying glitches... Exterior door handle broke, trunk latch broke, daytime running light out. All minor problems but major expensive.

Amazing fiat 500l trekking but 1 problem with it.
I love my fiat 500l trekking. It is super reliable, the interior is comfortable. It has a pretty decent size trunk the back seats fold done as well. The dual clutch system is amazing. The only problem with the fiat 500l is its sensitivity to cold. If you are in a colder area I don't recommend unless you have the dealer put in the engine heater. Because if it would cold out it will not start.

Fun with Fiats for the Whole Family
I purchased my first Fiat shortly after they started manufacturing them eight years ago. I loved the tiny little two door. It was perfect for city driving and super easy to park. I wish I could have kept it, but my family outgrew it. When my son upgraded to a full size cello, we needed a full size car. So we upgraded to the four door Fiat right after it was manufactured. It was perfect timing. The four door is still cute and easy to drive and has an unbelievable amount of space because from the outside it doesn't appear it would be as roomy as it actually is.

FIAT 500L: Bigger than you expect
The FIAT 500L is a great car overall. It is reliable and extremely roomy. Most people assume that the car is small on the inside, but are surprised by the size inside the car. The one issue I have had is that not many people are knowledgeable about FIATs.

Like I said....The gas is touchy....Turns great though
Acceleration is jumpy and uneven. Gas pedal too touchy

Unique vehicle! Get this vehicle if you are looking for something fun!
I like my vehicle, however I think that it is expensive to maintain and fix. It performs well, and it is reliable. I do not like that the seats do not fold down, making it not very comfortable. The trunk board broke recently, because it does not hold much weight. Also, the windshield is extremely expensive to fix, which I need done right now.

Black fiat 500l 2015 I give it a 3/5 stars.
It is very small, I struggle to fit a lot of stuff. The ac is not very strong, I live in Texas and do not recommended this car in high heat weather. It looks more spacious in the front seat and the radio system is great. It is a great city car for downtowns and moves quickly.

2003 Honda accord black and chrome wheels.
It has a lot of issue. Gas is terrible. Exhaust is loud. Steering is no good. Brakes are shot. It does not handle very well. I would say that it needs a new engine, carburetor, windows, windshield, and seats. It needs some work and I need to find a good person to do it.

The high performance little car!
This fiat is a high performance wheel balanced vehicle. Mine is a manual transmission which give you the driver great control of the very impressive fast turbo charged engine. It handles curves well at high speeds and is quick to respond. Mine is loaded with navigation-rear camera-hands free phone operation and a great sound system. Being high performance gas mileage is good but I would not consider it great. Interior is beautifully appointed with Lovely Seat coverings with beautiful top stitching. The interior capsule on this vehicle is large and accommodates tall folks very well. Large window create great visibility.
