I always start with the negatives I note. First would be the fabric. I'm simply not fond of it, it reminds me of heavy duty panty hose and seems to pick up dirt easily. The center armrest is very high and awkwardly placed. There is so much width the door armrest isn't really reachable, either. That said... I love driving this car. After years of soccer mom-mobiles, I wanted something small, easy to maneuver and park, better on gas, and fun. However, we have two large dogs and stepkids on weekends. This is a perfect blend for us. Room for five without needing a shoehorn, and not like driving a Sherman tank. 2 years later. I still LOVE this car. Except for a couple of minor sensor issues fixed under warranty it has been trouble free. Our summer here of 120 and higher do hurt the mileage, about 25mpg in summer, but I get a solid 33mpg in the cooler months. Has had regular dealer maintenance. I've replaced a headlight bulb, a reverse light bulb, tires, and brakes in 50k miles. So I will be a repeat customer. I still get compliments on my little beep beep!!!

Yes, after nearly Six years - STILL THE BEST! My MPG stays at 28.8! (I switched from mid-grade to no-octane gas). Road in construction caused damage to intercooler, and then the turbocharger. So I replaced those two. Other than that, car is phenomenal. Make sure to put the high grade petrol and the correct oil, Mopar filter, etc. I absolutely continue to think what I wrote below years back... I would never know why the "official" reviews were/are so negative. It's an ongoing puzzle because (besides a serpentine belt's part which came loose and was misdiagnosed at Fiat service at year 2, and the car gave plenty of warnings) this car has been a star. Equally so in upstate NY (currently -2F) and in the city (NYC) some 200 miles south. It packs plenty of power, very responsive, the turbo is fantastic and, being only front wheel drive, I see no problems driving on the icy roads outside. Always starts (no need for engine heater) and I have seen some serious winters here; car is parked outside, no garage. Flawless electronics, stunning design inside and out. One change of tires - after 40k miles ! Steady 27 MPG combined highway/dense city traffic. I think the "reviewers" are stagnant in their confined positioning to slave on big brands and their boxy, boring designs and most of all, unimaginative, humor-less " seriousness" that prevents them to see how very cool and functional Fiat 500L is ! My car is still a head-turner ! Too bad Fiat won't bring to the US the wagon version with even more hind space.

I bought this new in March of 2015. Advertised $8000 off MSRP. Great buy. The turbo kicks in @ 3000 rpm's and it becomes a rocket! Easy access, massive headroom. I have 10,000 miles and no problems. I personally love the European Automatic Transmission (DCA). Feels like a manual without the clutch, Most new 2016 models at the dealers have an American Automatic. Guess some people didn't like the DCA. Plenty of trunk space, Always get great mileage.

I purchased my 500L in early July 2013. When I tried to insure it, Progressive had no rate for this vehicle. This is how early I got in on the 500L. After 7 months I am more than pleased with the performance, quality, economy and just plain fun. There have been reports of transmissions issues, and while there were some that had issues, this was caused by a faulty version of the controller software, and has since been corrected. Those affected became a very vocal group of three or four people who have plastered false info every where they can. This is proven by the 25,000 plus units with the DDCT, the tens of thousands of Dodge Dart DDCT units and the 100,000+ good units world wide.
Awesome Car!

This car is a great value for my money. It's fun to drive and its comfortable for me and my family. Also, this car does not look like a cookie cutter car. It's unique and at the same time cute. This car is well worth the money.
