It is very comfortable and safe.
It is spacious and comfortable on the inside, I love the retro design of the body. It comes with many great features like the stereo and radio system which easily connects to my iPhone.

Love my fiat 500x, best investment.
I absolutely love my fiat 500x! The car is super cute and trendy looking. I have not experienced any issues with my car. The performance of the car is great. I am a college student who drives a few hours to get to college and the car has never given me any problems. The car is very reliable in that case. I love the features and details of the interior as well. My fiat has a blue pop to it, so the dashboard is also this royal blue color that is just aesthetic to look it. The seats have a nice trim to it and they are very comfortable. My favorite feature is the backup camera.

Awesome all around driver
Trekking with all the bells and whistles. If you’re in the market for a great all around car don’t overlook this gem as it features driving characteristics and safety ratings are among the best. This is a great car don’t let the past turn you away this isn’t 1970 anymore. Bought this for my mom and now I’m buying one for myself.

My Fiat has a double moon roof that I love.
My Fiat 500x is by far the best car I have ever had. It is super great on gas and is the smoothest ride ever.

A very good car for if you are on a budget
It is very safe and spacious, I love the retro design of the body and the many features included. It could be more powerful and more efficient in term of gas consumes.

Fast, fun, zippy little SUV.
Fun, zippy, and easy driving small SUV. Perfect for my to and from work commute. Back seat can fit two people comfortably but would not recommend for extremely long car rides because leg room is sparse. Large trunk which I was pleasantly surprised about! I love fiats and traded in my 2013 fiat pop for the 500x and could not be happier!

Great compact car for anyone.
This vehicle is very small but it suits me. The only problem is I cannot fit many people. It is really suitable for new car owners as well as people who have had cars before. Because of how small and compact it is it makes driving and parking so much easier.

Fiats are great for a couples road trip,
It is a great car to drive all year round, however it is small inside, great for 1-2 people but not a crowd. Some of the interior has fallen off or the adhesive has come undone, and it is only 2 years old. The touch screen is ok, but pairing devices to the car can be a bit time consuming.

Save the fiat 500! Make it more appealing.
Slow on acceleration. Door handles break very easily. Seat does not recline far enough even though it could. No storage room on armrest. I actually built one for it. No backup camera. Speaker is not the best. No tow capability. I would like to see DVD player removed. It's not needed. No on-star so I can participate in my insurance company safe driver program.

Fiat lounge 2016 model review.
I own a fiat car, it is very gud in performance and reliability. It has very good features while comparing to other model cars. But there are some disadvantages also. Problem occurs when I take long drive. Seating adjustment should be more better according to my personality. May be other feel comfortable but for me that is the only problems. Behalf of that everything is good(mileage, pickup,comfort).

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Augie M.

Great mileage and surprising amount of legroom for the size. Heated front seats and steering wheel is also a great bonus. The Beats sound system is fantastic and I could not ask for a better vehicle.

likeFilled Linda F.

Very comfortable to drive, higher visibility than a regular car, looks good, seats 5, good size cargo area, dependable, large touch screen to easily access phone, radio and media (I listen to books mostly.) I like the gas tank is on the right so shorter lines for these cars at the pump. This is my 3rd Fiat because I like them.

likeFilled Patricia D.

It is small enough for a small person like me to feel very comfortable. It is like a small SUV. It has a nice sleek Italian design. It gets good mileage per gallon. It drives well and adds some extra cargo space and versatility into the mix. Small cars tend to make for a bumpy and noisy ride, but the 500x thoroughly debunks this particular stereotype. The suspension is fairly firm, but has enough give to absorb the road with no trouble, keeping the car's occupants nicely cushioned. And the noise insulation means that little road or engine noise makes its way into the cabin even at highway speeds.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Augie M.

There are not many cons to the Fiat 500X Pop but one downside would be the lack of air vents throughout the car. There are only air vents in the front of the car and not the back. Other than this, the Fiat 500X Pop is a great car!

dislikeFilled Linda F.

It does not have a GPS system like my previous model, difficult to see cars coming up behind me on both sides. Vents do not let in cool air unless it is cold outside so I have to use my air conditioning when I am on the freeway and do not want to open the windows.

dislikeFilled Patricia D.

It is fairly new to the American market so it still needs to be proven. Compared to some other subcompact crossovers, the fiat 500x feels rather small. It has a low ceiling and limited legroom. So it might be a negative for taller driver. It is a short on power. It feels somewhat underpowered compared to some competitors. It is also other overpriced.
