This is my 2nd Fiat 500. The first was totaled when a deer hit the front. :( I had 180K miles on that one with no issues. This one currently has 155K miles. I bought it used from a random "car dealer". I replaced the clutch at 140k which was a fairly simple DIY project. The hardest part was getting the transmission back in place and bolting it down. I hit a deer a couple of days ago and it destroyed the driver side front fender, headlight and turn light. Parts are on order to fix that up. Overall this car is perfect for my daily commute. There are no fancy bells and whistles, but the radio and AC continue to work. The headlight issue that I had with the 2012 seems to be resolved and I haven't had to replace them. This car isn't for anyone wanting to go 80 MPH+, as it does feel like it's going to fly off the road at that speed. At lower speeds, 50-60, it corners well and is super fun. It struggles on the one large hill I go up, and I have to downshift. The seat is more comfortable than the 2012 one was. It's noisy on the inside, you can hear the tires on the road and the cars around you. Not a luxury car, but fun anyway. I get about 39 MPG if I use the 15 octane gas, it will go up to 42 if I use the more expensive gas.

rented this car over a weekend and drove through windy roads and highway. it was an utterly uninspiring ride. the engine was barely able and had noticeable turbo lag - like GTI's of old. handling was disappointing with heavy roll in turns and serious understeer. the manual transmission / clutch pedal felt like sponge - very imprecise, very little feedback, not the least reassuring. i had high hopes that this would be at least a fun ride and it turned out to be incredibly uninspiring. should have kept my faithful MX-5 NC...
