Its space and appearance are more attractive to me

My dodge caravan is a comfortable, steady, and reliable vehicle.
It is a super reliable vehicle. I have had little, to no problems since owning it, and it is a very efficient car to assist my disabled husband. This is also an extremely good car for long distance travel - comfortable seating, and has a lot of storage space, and my husband can get in and out with ease.

Fiat 500l 2018 a great car for road trips.
I absolutely love my new vehicle, it is the first car I have ever bought, and it is really good for people who drive on mostly city streets, and it is a fun car to be in for road trips for two people. I like the performance of the car and how the car is able to get around and make maneuvers a lot easier than other cars.

Cute, trendy, and I love the forest green color.
The main thing that has happened is my brakes are starting to screech when slowing down or stopping. This issue started when I hit about 60,000 miles and my tires seem to have slow leaks and need replacing. I am constantly having to refill them with air.

I love the side windows in the front.
Although I haven't had it very long I can honestly say I feel very safe in this car. It handles well and is good with gas and has plenty of cargo room and little compartments everywhere for storing and transporting dogs. All in all I love my fiat 500 l.

Fiat 2018 500L car review
Love it, good space, like how it has 4 doors instead of 2 because 2 can be a hassle, enough trunk space for groceries, spacious on the inside. Good color choices good on gas, good stereo system and easy to keep clean and maintained, good cup holders and storage space in the front and trunk of car

TURBO, BABY
I love my angry jellybean! I say angry because people are either too slow or I simply can't drive 55, my little turbo keeps me away from the pack. I don't like that it accelerates like a go cart but once it gets going, bye Felicia! The inside is so roomy that I forget it's a small car and try to remind myself that it's probably not the best idea to drive like I do, all impatient and wanting to get around the person doing the speed limit in the hammer lane, ugh. One thing I would change would be a banner screen on the back window so I can post encouraging messages to the cars behind me. Such as Left lane is for PASSING, or why is everyone driving so SLOOOWWWW? Or play little games like, hey, do you spot the speed limit sign?? Can you read it? Hmmm, I guess I'm glad I couldn't afford a Dodge Charger otherwise I'd be complaining about speeding tickets. Love my little car!

Quite a technological advance car for it is price!
This car is pretty technological. It has Bluetooth, aux, and CD slot for your music. It has camera for reversing and that camera has sensors that warns if you are backing too much. Of course the sensors are not perfect, so it does spot random things. It can turn off the headlights and the dashboard as soon as you turn off the car, so no worry about battery dying cause you forgot to turn off the headlights. It tells your miles per gallons and tells you in text if you are low. It is handling is of course good, since it is a small car. While the accelerator feels very less responsive and braking feels little bit too responsive. For such small car though it is able to fit a family of four groceries in the back trunk.

Distinctive designed cars.
Reliability, comfort, design, color, quality, finishing, wheels, engine, power, speed, wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of cars say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and mainly transport people rather than goods.

Fiat: cool name, okay car.
It gets too hot in the summer with the leather seats and the engine grinds sometimes. Lower mpg, like 25. High maintenance fees. It is an ok car. If you like hatchbacks you can use this one. The overhead sunroof is nice but I can do without it. Does not come with spare tire.
