Used 2015 FIAT 500L Consumer Reviews
It's been a Great Car!
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.
Has kept up over the years.
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.

Weird problems. No one wants to repair
Had to replace windshield wiper motor to the tune of $400. Had to replace whole light in rear back $700. Maintenance expensive. One dealer in area. Import mechanics refuse to service. Spark plug detonated and damaged valve $3500. Transmission strange. No smooth ride below 60mph. Low profile tires just plain awful. VERY EXPENSIVE CAR. Will be trading in soon. Bids from dealers in trade in low. Comments from sales people “ I was shocked how little they keep their value”. This car just awful.

Too Much Too Soon
Service has been terrible. Had it in 6 times for the check engine light. Bluetooth is terrible. I can hear who I've called, but when the car is moving, they can barely understand what I am saying.

Stay away from Fiat 500L
I got a 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking cheap at an auction about 6 years ago. It had 10,000 miles on it I paid $6000.00. Well I just passed 46,000 miles and the transmission now says gear not available. Fiat says $8000.00 for a new transmission. I called the junk yard and they gave me $1275.00 for the car. Never again will I own a Fiat
