2014 FIAT 500L Pop 4dr Wagon (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

2014 500L Pop stick-shift. Very happy with my purchase. Picked her up used at 13k miles in GUAM around 2019. She came back stateside with me to Arkansas. As of April 2023, she's at 38k miles and I've only had to replace a set of brakes, tires, and a brake light. I've been getting an oil change every 6-9 months. As far as bad goes: - the interior as started to fall apart. I had to stud the headliner to keep it in place. - the gear stick material started to peel and has come off but remains entirely functional - the lift gate or hatch is VERY finicky. Sometimes on cold mornings the latch will not operate. May be sign that it should be replaced. COST UNKNOWN. Honestly, if you don't mind a somewhat odd looking car, this thing is a fantastic commuter.

2014 FIAT 500L Trekking 4dr Wagon (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

I 've had the car since November of 2013. It's a Trekking with the 6 speed auto. I love the trans as it reacts like a manual without the fuss. I've had the computer flash done, but other than that no issues. I love the car. I've read all the complaints that other customers have been having and they have not arrived with my purchase.

2015 500L 6-speed manual. I now have 107,000 miles. It has been surprisingly reliable. Plugs are easy to change. Use good gas. Use good oil. Don't go to the dealer!! The dealer caused the only issue I had by not putting the air filter assembly back together correctly. My regular mechanic found it and fixed it. I've driven it across the USA in a 5000+ mile round trip and several Arizona to Texas trips. I drive 115 miles a day to and from work. I never would have thought this car would work this well.

Everything about the 500l somehow manages to wiggle out of your expectations and come out on top. Its outward design makes it look like a small car, until you stand next to it. You think it'll be cramped, until you sit inside it. You think that it'll be sluggish, until the turbo kicks in. It's not a race car, or an off road vehicle, or a towing monster. It's a compact SUV with design elements that don't compromise...for the most part. The first thing you'll notice is that the interior is roomy. Quite roomy. Roomy enough to make your sister's Silverado feel like a sardine tin by comparison. It's due to the efficient nature of its design; it's boxier and more upright than most other vehicles. Driving, you will be master of all you survey; there are exactly zero blind spots around this vehicle, and if you get the panoramic sunroof, you'll essentially be driving around in a glass bubble. Handling is snappy, and it turns on a dime. Highway driving is a little noisy due to the suspension, and the responsiveness of the steering will make some wary, but it's adequate once gotten used to. The combination of the European cluch with the turbo will be the largest oddity for some, as learning how to accelerate until the turbo kicks in isn't just a matter of stomping on the pedal. It's a more spirited driving experience than the average American is used to, but is rewarding once mastered. I have the Trekking trim, and can't say I regret it. The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) system gives added stability to prevent slippage during less than ideal driving conditions, but is not the same as AWD. I didn't notice any difference with it off, so I leave it on, although I will say that I have driven during heavy rain and the vehicle performed well. Ground clearance is also pleasantly high; I haven't bottomed out on any road dips like I did with my Camry. The controls are easy to reach and understand, with the exception of the fog lights and daytime running lights. The fog lights, oddly, are turned on by a button on the dash beneath the information screen, and the DRLs are turned on and off through the in-vehicle system menu, rather than the steering wheel post or some other, more obvious place. The headlights and fog lights are nicely aimed, especially the fog lights. They practically act as secondary headlights themselves. I've gotten more compliments on this car in my first month of ownership than I ever did with my much newer Murano. Its design is sharp and distinct. It took a little getting used to, but I don't regret a thing.
