Fiat 500x is an all around great car for those looking for the basics.
I really love my vehicle. It doesn't come with all the bells and whistles but it does have enough to get me through long car rides. It drives very well and is small enough that I have easily parallel park on roads where parking is limited. It is great on gas and very cheap to fill up. The actually hardware of the car has never given me a problem, besides the key fob mysteriously breaking on me about 2 years into having the car. Other than that, the fiat has fit my lifestyle extremely well and is great for someone who has a low budget.

It has a racing mode! I love that it has that in the car!
I don't really have any issues with my car. The only thing would probably be that I wish the seats were more comfortable. It has touch screen display and I have connect my phone via Bluetooth so I love it. However it is fast and it is good on gas, so I am very happy with it.

That it is amazing. Good on gas. Love the sports mode.
I love my car. Bought it brand new. It's a limited edition. I love the sun and moon roof. I love all the electronics. Always finding something new. Hate that I can't figure out how to make lights turn on when car doors are open.

Es un auto innovador y sofisticado que tiene 160 - 180 CV

It is fun to drive. Handles well on mountain roads and on long trips.
My Fiat offers me style as well as fuel efficiency. It is considered an SUV, so the four doors and collapsing back seat allows me to carry larger loads than other cars in this size bracket.

The things about my car is it is perfect for beaches with the sky windows.
I have panoramic windows and it is my favorite color blue. Mileage is great on gas rooftop windows. Beats by dre stereo is great and Bluetooth black leather interior leather it is small enough for parking the car but roomy also. I have a window on the trunk the only thing I do not like is I have to manually open the trunk.

The design detail like little beetle car. Its what attracted me to fiat model.
It is perfectly reliable because of its compact size. I feel safe inside, I know where the nose of my car is. Although that is double-edged, because it can easily trap me inside in an accident. However, a good driver can avoid such things. It has great features for maximum driving pleasure.

Junk
The intake hose connection to the air filter cover broke twice ($285 new part). Bought it new but engine has always had an acceleration hesitation and sounds like a 20 year old car on it's last leg.

Maintenance
Within in the first few days the R speaker went out was just fixed last week, driver's side door handle broke and 18 mos later still trying to get dealership to fix it. For a year I have been bringing the car to the dealership due to car jerking/ surging. They had it last week and said nothing was wrong, 2 days later it gave out as I was exiting the highway. Dealership refused to pay to have it towed, so I did. They said in a day or so the past will arrive, that's the fuel pump. The dealership treats you so shabby, no transparency, no respect, they say they will call in a hour, 24 hrs go by no response. I'm so over Fiat and the dealership. Bad gas mileage, cute, comfortable on a trip.

Car is an attraction right off
What I don’t like is that first year bought it while under warranty took it back to check why car has a delay in sometime switching gear while driving it has a jerk in it when driving. Had a mechanic check on transmission. He says it switches to neutral than back. Even while driving

The fiat needs major improvements.
The car can handle in the snow considering the type of car it is. I have had an electrical problems with the car and it is barely 2 years old. It also is not great on gas. I would not recommend the vehicle. It is functional if you have a family of four and live in a city area. The trunk is too small for my liking. Also a spare tire should come included in the sale of the car.

The performance of my highly anticipated vehicle.
This vehicle is very fast and efficient. I bought this with doubts that it could perform effectively but I was wrong. My vehicle is super strong, durable. The performance rates is off the charts and I hope to drive an upgraded version one day in the future.
accountCircle Destiny C
I like the vehicle but after only 2000 miles, it runs rougher and sounds loud. I brought it back to the dealership and they it is was "normal". It was not this way when I bought the car....
It is a smaller crossover vehicle. Many people may not like that. I do like it because it is so much easier to maneuver.

Cute commuter car with good gas mileage
My Trekking is adorable and good for my long commute, but it seems to have some maintenance issues which I was surprised by being my first brand new car. We've already replaced the lights several times and it can drive roughly, feeling like the transmission is slipping without warning. All in all in 2 years it hasn't needed any major repairs and it's great on gas.
accountCircle Isabella V
Overall great car, some small issues.
Great size and safety features. Very jerky though. Have had to take it in several times. It sometimes vibrates when I drive it and when I took it in they said there was some problem with the engine. It is comfortable, easy to clean, drive, and has good gas mileage.

Fiat 500x - a cute car that gives you a SUV feel.
Feels big but not too big, comfortable, cute, feels safe. Trunk is smaller than I thought it would be but it fits enough. Back seat is big and comfortable for grown adults. Rear view camera is nice. Cup holders are good. The passenger seat cannot have too much on it or the seat belt alarm will go off.

On cold mornings I can start my car from my back door.
My car is dependable and drives like a dream. The driver's seat sets you up real high. It is easy to handle. You start my car with your finger. The key remote can start my car without being in it. I love my car because it is roomy and has a hatchback.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Alessio D.

It is very large and can drive for long distances without need for gas. It looks great and matches my personality greatly! I love this vehicle and it helps me with so many things with a lot of stamina.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Alessio D.

The smell can sometimes be very bad due to the material and the fabric of the seats of the car. Other than that, the car is also a color that I do not like very much (the color is red). This car has very little cons.
