Stay away from FIAT
Since I got that car is been in & our so many times at the FIAT service. Smoke from the hood, not able to start, had to be toll many times. When the car was under the 4 year warranty, the answer from service always was nothing wrong with the car. Started perfect. We don’t know what problem you are referring. The car drives normal. Okay ... after 4 months when the guarantee expired: surprise!!! The car has only 40,000 miles but needs a new motor starter! Not only that, when the car has a new motor starter the car don’t work because complete engine failure!!! Defective engine when my trusted mechanic saw the car because I didn’t trust anymore the FIAT SERVICE!!! Defective parts cheap parts ... so now the car is a total junk!!!! FIAt basically ripped me selling a defective car: engine failure! Starter motor failure ...

Love Our Trekking!
Traded in a 500 Sport to get a bit more space. Our Sport had 8,500 miles with zero problems. We now have 2500 miles on the L. Very well built. Both cars were ordered with the manual transmission which I think is a better option. The negative reviews all seem to be on cars with the auto/dual clutch trans. Combined mileage is 27.3-mostly around town. 33 mpg on highway.

Fun useful car
Impressive cargo space. Great visibility. Has Abarth turbo engine -- ZOOM!!! Dealer support has been exceptional by my standards after 60 years experience driving many brands of cars and trucks. 125 miles per day at 30-33 mpg on regular gas. Fun car...........

NEVER BUY FIAT!!
I got the car, drove it home, very next day it didn't start. Took it to the shop, it said, "It's too cold for it here" (Northern Indiana)...Brought it back home, drove it for three days (300 miles) with starting issues...then it totally broke down. Wouldn't start, stereo was cutting out and blowers on the heater/air conditioner stopped working. Call for Fiat Roadside assistance, three times a day for 6!!!!! days until they finally came to get it. Towed it to the shop where it has sat for two weeks. I am getting the run around completely.
Broke Down Already!!
I bought my Fiat 500L about 3 weeks ago. I was on my way to work, when it started shaking and the transmission light came on. I had to wait for Fiat to open and the car had to be towed in. This Maxwell Supercenter has no clue how to repair the car and I have been without it for a week. The manager, Jack M., has been Very difficult and even though I got a call today, after 7 days, I do not feel comfortable and safe in My Fiat. I plan to return it. The GM (Lisa C.) here at Austin Fiat has no concern and when my attorney confronts her with the Lemon Law and demands a refund, maybe she will sing a different tune? I have been stunned at the poor service I have received!
