Tiny and aggressive, this car is a joy to drive in any situation. If Italian sports cars make your day, you won't be disappointed.

Fighting for my rights for 2 years and counting.

This electric car worked very well for 4 years and all of a sudden the battery faltered and I ended up at the Santa Monica Fiat/Maserati dealership hoping they would fix it. The dealer started by asking me for $10K for a part that the manufacturer finally approved, only to find out that this was not the problem. After 4 months of going back and forth between the manufacturer and the dealer, they asked me for $46K for a battery, at which point I hired a lemon law attorney. After almost two years, The Fiat/Chrysler (Stellantis) attorneys have refused to even acknowledge the issue, until a week ago when they offered me a negligible amount claiming the dealer let the car running for weeks, which is impossible given that the battery was dead since the day I took it to be fixed. The dealer and the manufacturer have been blaming each other for the problem and in the meantime, there is no solution to my situation. I cannot believe how these people can get away with treating their customers in this manner. It looks like I am going to have to stand in front of a judge and hope that he/she can make these people take responsibility for a faulty car that is under warranty.

Pathetic steering response, awful ride quality

The Abarth 500 suspension is so stiff you would think this thing would handle something like a sports car. It does not. Do not believe the hype, try a real sports car first. The steering is slow and does not feel very direct. Strapping a rocket onto a garbage truck does not a space shuttle make. This is just a cheap economy car with a turbo and hard suspension, not a sports car. There's literally no reason to get this car. Not very sporty, uncomfortable and unsafe. What more could you not want?

Expensive little car! If you loose your keys or lock them in and have a lockout person open the fiat it destroys a module that with the new key is $1200-1500 to fix. Also, since these key fobs are so expensive if you set it down it is gone. They are rare to find online.
