Most reliable car I've ever had.

I've read some of the bad reviews for this little car and wonder if mine could be one of the exceptions. It's been my daily driver for 4 years and it has not let me down EVER. I bought it used with 54K miles on it. Yes, there's been some little minor issues like the arm rest cushion coming off and having to replace the hatch handle, but nothing major. No electrical problems, never had a check engine light. Brakes are awesome and it's so easy on tires. (more than 50%tread on the tires it came with) I did just replace the battery at 86K, but she starts on a dime and runs like shes still new. Of course, I maintenance regularly, use Amsoil, and run non-ethanol gasoline when I can. She averages just over 40mpg. It's been the most reliable, problem-free, lowest cost car to maintain I've ever owned and I've been driving for 44 years.

A smile that lasts a lifetime

First off, my car was purchased on a whim I didn’t do any research before buying it. I didn’t need the car as I already had an suv. I was bored one day drove down to the Fiat store and the rest is history. I bought a 2015 brown fiat 500 pop. 101 hp, now it does feel underpowered in automatic mode, but I drive it in the manual mode all the time and I get better response time. So I think 101hp is manageable. I commute between towns which is about 90 miles one way. I average 36mpg on the commute! Bout $20-25 fills the tank which gets me about 364 miles give or take. The engine is stock for now, I am playing with the idea of trading it in for an Abarth. However, for what the pop offers, it’s a solid car! I use the pump under the drivers seat all the time to fill my tires with air, I love the convenience of this on board pump. Blue tooth is very handy to have when driving. I feel safe driving the car, it handles turns like a go cart! Plenty of storage with the back seat down. I fit a 55” tv in it once for a local move I made, desperate times call for desperate measures! Cup holders are a bit annoying, but it’s a small car, so I guess this is the best I’ll get out of the car. Vehicle is cheap on repairs! If your mechanically inclined like me, you can save money doing things yourself. I get comments all the time, regarding how cute it looks, or how does it handle, is it good on gas? I would for sure buy the car again! I have not been stranded once other than to replace the battery. Ac blows cold and quick, it does help to have tinted windows. I also have a VW Golf TDI, which our performs my fiat, and gets better mpg, but whenever I drive my fiat there is just this smile I get that’s lasts a lifetime!
