Used 2016 FIAT 500e Consumer Reviews
FIAT 500E Do NOT BUY or Lease!!
This car is cheaply made. I leased 2015 500e, already the charging cable is broken and the plugin part is loose and the prongs that fit into the outlet is burning y outlet. The house almost caught on fire! Customer service is really bad and could not even tell me if the charging cable is under warranty. My car has only 15K miles!!! It's now in the shop and can't drive it as can't charge it!!!

Poorly made vehicle with horrible service
Poorly made vehicle, looked nice in the beginning but after like a year or so of use, things start going horribly. Wheels were worn out with only about 10k of use. and the tires are not cheap. What i was told by a fiat mechanic is that everybody at fiat knows the electric car is heavy and the tires they have don't last that long. If everybody knows, why wasn't i disclosed of this before the lease? If i had known i would need to replace my tires twice during the lease, i would have said no. then the headlights went out on year 2 and had to have those replaced. When i tried to complain about the crazy situation, Chrysler was like, we'll look into it and call you back, never called back, after a while i gave up. Multiple times with customer services and not one time were my problems resolved.

WAY more expensive than you can even imagine!!
DO NOT BUY THE FIAT 500e!! There is a major design flaw that will cost you $2000 at least once, and likely $2000 / year. This is NOT covered by the warranty. Before buying one, take a look at the plug (where the gas cap would normally be). It is very fragile plastic. Now think that for 8 hours or more a day, this will be plugged into a charger with a handle slightly smaller than a gas pump handle. Now think that if a small child bumps that even once, the plastic connector will snap. That simple looking connector costs almost $2000 to replace. It is part of a cable bundle that runs to the front of the car. It takes 7 hours to replace (at least that's what they bill). This will break!! Beware before buying this car!! Warranty will not cover it because they say it is the child's fault for bumping into it, not a car problem.

Love it
Probably my favorite car I’ve ever owned, the range is pretty low, about 90 miles per charge on the highway, about 100 city driving only, but it’s soooo fun to drive and amazingly easy to park anywhere.
