Fiat 500e is Brilliant

Amazing peppiness, road handling, and comfort. Unbelievable financing. I drove a 2013 for 3 years on lease, and the dealership gave me such a good deal on a 2017 that I drove it out of the dealership the day I returned my 2013. The range and mpg-e are better than reported by the EPA. The 2013 had only one recall, and that was a software upgrade. I have been building and driving EVs for 25 years and this is the best ever, excluding Tesla. Tesla is the best car in the world.

This cars is Awesome. I'm a property manager and REALTOR and use it daily for my job. I don't waist time at the pump or service centers for oil changes anymore. I have more time and patience because it fills up automatically when Im sleeping. I had a Mercedes Benz and will never get another gas car again. Plus now I'm saving precious Air for my Grand children!!!

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.

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.

This car is a great get-around-town car. It gets approximately 100 miles per charge and I get to go in the HOV lanes without charge.
