I rented one a year or so ago for an 800+ trip. I really liked how it handled and the gas mileage was awesome. So I saved up and bought my own.

In city traffic it is small enough to avoid obstacles, and handling on the sharp curves of country roads is notable. It is more than just a case of economy, it's actually sporty and fun. Sure the 100hp engine will need you to do a bit of shifting to keep up, but exercise is good for you. In the winter snow of upstate New York, the car got me to work sometimes even before the plows cleared the roads. It's no match for AWD vehicles, but an experienced driver can go far with the manual transmission. Now at over 55,000 miles, it still rides nice, the exhaust pipe needed repair, and occasionally the rear brake pads stick, which a bit of WD40 in a timely manner corrects. Reporting in at 57,500 miles, driver's door outside handle front hinge broke. Being that the back part is what opens the door, I'm not in a rush to get it fixed. Otherwise, in the New York snow, it handles good. On the winding country roads, the 500 makes the twist in the road swiftly and safely, like a more expensive sports car.

I was looking at another car in the used car section of the Fiat dealer. I liked the way the Fiat looked so decided to give it a drive. Turned out I really liked this cute little car. So bought it that day. Red with automatic transmission. I can see where some of the interior parts will likely not hold up well, but for the money and styling, I think it's a great deal. I don't really drive a lot anymore and this is really perfect for me. Comfortable, peppy, and fun to look at. This is a follow up to the review I did last year. I have put about 7000 miles on her, like I said I don't drive much and she is still doing great. I really have no complaints at all about this car. We even traded in our Mini for the 500X and we love it as well.

Inexpensive fun transportation. Replaced a 92 Miata with this and it's as much fun to drive. Not a lot of pop in the pop but I smile every time I drive it. Lots of front seat room; rear seats comfortable for kids only. Good manual transmission. Short turning radius. Small for city driving and rides better than expected on the freeway. I like the styling, not a typical boring low end car. Only have 3000 miles so I can't speak about reliability. Update: 15000 miles. Reliable so far. Still makes me smile and lots of fun to drive. Resale value is poor but if it functions like this for 8-10 years it was a steal.

I bought my 2015 fiat 500 pop six months ago from Car Pros Fiat of Renton, that's when my troubles started... at the first rain I found out that my car has a leak, car did not have even 500 miles when I took it to get serviced, in staid of giving me a new car they repaired it, and this is only the beginning.... stereo problem, done the software update no changes, had the engine check light that went on, the heater takes 20 MIN to defog at full power, driver seat latch sticks and now another leak. The car has only 3030 miles and it has been repaired 6 times. Till this moment Fiat USA and the dealership is still giving me the turn around. After a months of calling and sending emails, I finally got an answer from fiat acknowledging that there is problems with this car and they offer an extended warranty... really you think I will keep a car with so many problems. Now I found water again in the back of my car, it's three times now. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER .... DO NOT BUY FIAT
