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.

I've leased my 2-17 500e for one year (only 7k miles driven) and yesterday, it stopped taking a charge. Thankfully it is under warranty, and Fiat came to tow it to the dealership because it didn't have enough miles to get there. The dealership is 40 mins away, they're backed up and won't get to look at my car for another day, and they had no loaner car for me (although they did agree to cover my rental, if I made my way to Enterprise and dealt with that paperwork myself. Thanks for the terrific convenience, Fiat. If your car breaks on me while under warranty, you should probably consider making my experience very convenient.) On another note, we also have an electric BMW i3. I have driven it and the Fiat the same distance, and the BMW uses substantially less "miles" to go the same distance. I know it is said that the amount of miles used depends on how you drive it, but I find the Fiat to be far less reliable in terms of how far I can actually go, compared to the BMW (which is twice the price, so you get what you pay for!) Also, the suspension bounces all over the road, and it breaks very abruptly. I have skidded out a few times accelerating on a hill.

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!!!

You can’t beat the cost of these used. Very fun to drive in the city and stop and go crowded highways. Not great for long highway drives at full speed as it bounces around too much.

May not have been worth what folks paid new, but I got mine used for $6k and it's a great little car. Cheap to run, fun to drive and cute as hell. It's really peppy and not a bad place to be, considering Fiat tried to make it more upscale than other 500s. All in all one of my favorite cars, and we have other "better" cars such as a CR-V and a BMW. Not great as an only car (unless you only drive locally) due to its limited range, but awesome for multi-car households.
