This is a good (great) driving car. A pleasure to drive. I have the basic model and still it has quite abit extra's. I'am a driver and like the fun of driving a solid steering car. This one goes from a regular driving car to a Ferrari when the sports button is engaged/push at the console. Great for curvy roads and parking lots or anytime. On the hwy I leave it regular mode and just cruise. Did I tell you it has cruise control too. Anyway don't push the OMG button unless - are you experienced - (Hendrix) I have the auto transmission and this is great. I'am 60 and this shifts a lot in the sports mode (OMG). There you have it.

ABSOLUTE WORST Car I Have Ever Owned

2014 FIAT 500 Lounge 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

Purchased a 2014 Fiat 500 Lounge April 2015 about 1 week after purchase I was going up a hill had stopped at a stop sign, after the stop I accelerated and the car although in drive would not go forward and just drifted back. I had to wait for traffic to go around me and then drift backward down the hill until i drifted backward into a driveway then drifted forward in drive down the hill until the transmission engaged back into drive. Over the next 2 months the transmission failed to engage 3 more times each a under different circumstances and each of those times when the transmission did engage the car lunged forward. Each time this happened there was someone in the car with me and once someone else was driving. I took my car to the dealer and was told they could find no issues. The problem continued so I called Fiat who advised I take it back to the dealer which I did and the dealer advised again no issues and had a tech from Fiat come into look at it and again they found nothing. Fiat said there was nothing they could do. The car is DANGEROUS, I also called Chrysler and got the same results. Neither FIAT or CHRYSLER was of any assistance and offered no solution perhaps replacing with another car or something, anything ..not that I want another but at least an offer to rectify the situation. DO NOT PURCHASE A FIAT car is unsafe and Fiat & Chrysler customer service is the worst I have ever had to deal with.

I'm very pleased the Fiat 500 Sport thus far. Very comfortable for my 6' frame despite its diminutive size along with better ease of ingress/egress than its rivals. Handles well and is surefooted in snow. Fits in parking spots others won't. Feature rich- AM/FM/CD power windows, a/c, heated mirrors, fog lights, cruise, automatic door locks, Bluetooth and alloy wheels are standard. Excellent fit and finish. Current incentives for 2013 models make the 500 a steal. This is one small car that doesn't feel like a penalty box. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.

Car is a little noisie as far as road noise Other than that it has lots of head room and surprising room to carry things.

Best car I bought used

Let me start by saying I got all my moneys worth out of this car! I bought used at 60,000 miles and still hanging on strong at 155,000. I bought used for $6,000 ( car has a salvage title). It’s only needed two repairs that were under $200. One the shift cable broke, and the other was The alternator. So I’m very happy there. Pros: Easy handling Great in traffic Good gas mileage Cons: No place for spare Inside parts broke easily. ( seat adjuster & arm rest) I can’t consider lack of space a con. It’s a subcompact.... so it’s meant to be small. That being said during test drive the front row was more roomy then I expected from looking at it from the outside. There are two back seats but I wouldn’t consider them big enough to fit two adults. The great part I used it as a two seater , I lowered the backseats and it gave me plenty of trunk space for my equipment. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is lack of spare tire location and the tire size is hard to find. So the three times I had a flat tire my whole day or two days had to be canceled to find a tire and have it replaced. The car was terrific while it lasted but I’m now able to afford a bigger vehicle and ready for something else.
