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.

A Fine Fiat 500L

The Fiat now has 94k on it. I’m still very satisfied with it though some wear has begun to show. The headliner came completely loose probably do to the extreme heat in south/ central Florida and my roof being black. I use it for small jobs and the room is perfect for just about anything. The Thule racks have allowed me to carry many things for job materials. Love my FIAT

2015 Fiat 500L - Started to have an ignition problem at 180k Kilometres. Brought the car to a FIAT certified mechanic (which are few and far between). The report was that he ‘thought’ he knew what the problem was and asked us to pay $3,000 to find out if he was right (this was after replacing the ignition coil a month earlier to address the same problem. In almost the same breath, the Mechanic said that he’s never seen a FIAT with so many kilometres before. Very disappointed by this car for 2 reasons: very few people know how to fix this car. Repairs and maintenance is expensive.

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.

I sold this nightmare

I sold this garbage car as soon as my family figured out that FIAT will not fix transmission overheating problem. One day, this garbage stopped on the road right after exiting McDonalds' drive-thru while giving out really bad smell. I could smell, my wife could smell, even the employees at the restaurant could smell the burning or melting odor. The car didn't start for 10 min. with an on-screen message like I need to put the gear to N then R then P or something. Now, it started to run again. I searched internet because it was Sunday and the FIAT dealership didn't provide any repair service. BTW, I found out that there are several issues just like me. And, more importantly, all of these reviews reported that both dealership and FIAT headquarter denied to identify and fix this issue. Only solution was just to continue driving this garbage with fear. Well next Monday, I brought this car to the dealership, and their reaction was "exactly" same with other reviews. "Can't replicate or duplicate the issue", "There is no error record on the computer" and "Drive your car home as is". Next day, I went to a Japanese car dealership and sold the garbage and bought much more reliable car. If you are rich, you can buy FIAT. But, if you wanted be frugal and smart, go to more reliable automakers. FIAT's reliability is 28th out of 28 automakers in 2015 Consumer Report.
