Disagree with the experts. This car is underrated!

2015 FIAT 500L Lounge 4dr Wagon (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
This is the 11th new car I have purchased and this is one of the most enjoyable. My 2015 500L is a pleasure to drive. This vehicle has received more than a few negative professional reviews but I strongly disagree. Yes the center armrest is narrow but it is functional. I do not mind the emergency brake handle location. The car provides a great view of the road and the seating position … is excellent. The ride is tuned to a good level in my opinion. I live in Chicago and this car has proven to be easy to park in tight city street spaces while providing excellent interior volume. Great cargo space for those larger purchases. Highway performance is also good, I have averaged 33 mpg. My children love this car and prefer to ride in it vs our Ford Taurus.
I was in the market for a Chrysler 200 but when I could not find one equipped to my liking I took a chance on test driving the 500L and never looked back.
Yes I was concerned with the professional ratings and reviews but my experience has been all positive. I have not experienced the brake fade some reviewers did.
My car came with the Beats audio system and I frequently have too adjust the base level down as it is tuned too a level way too high.
Love this car

2015 FIAT 500L Lounge 4dr Wagon (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Owned a 2014, but didn't like the twin clutch so I upgraded to the 2015. I love the car again. With snow tires I don't need 4 wheel drive in Salt Lake City and I take myself and three others and their gear skiing every week. I don't need a rack either. I just fit it in the back no problem.
Very Happy!

2015 FIAT 500L Lounge 4dr Wagon (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
At first I was skeptical about this car but I am thrilled with it. It is so comfortable and fun to drive Feels very sturdy and reliable. The exterior is a bit quirky but I think that makes it fun...I am sick of buying the same old same old. Very roomy vehicle with lots of bells and whistles.
One Year of Ownership

The 500L has been trouble free for my first year of ownership. Software updates by the dealer improved the 6 speed transmission. The best part of owning this car is how easy it is to get in and out of. It is tall so it feels like a much larger vehicle. Large doors and the back seat with a almost flat floor makes it easy for rear passengers. I am a fan of the U-Connect system. The … outward visibility is aided by a high driving position.
