More spacious than it looks - Trekking way to go!

I had been waiting for the 2016 models to come out, but I found the body on the 2015 500L Trekking model to be a far more attractive and more Italian look. I ended up buying the 2015 500L Trekking with the "Beats" sound system with SiriusXM satellite radio, AISIN Heavy Duty 6-speed automatic transmission and U-connect touch screen. I use it for driving around San Francisco with all the hills and find it handles well. I love the headlights that move to follow your turns and curves. It is very easy to fold down the rear seats and create a spacious flat cargo area. The back seats also have the ability to recline to an almost flat bed like seat. The dual climate control keeps the front seat passengers happy and as the driver I enjoy the comfort of Power driver 4-way Lumbar Adjust. The visibility is amazing! With large windows all around and front pillar split by glass and wraparound rear windows. I also own a VW Touareg and honestly have better visibility in this Fiat. Features like the rear backup camera, rear park assist system and hands-free phone connectivity add to safety and convenience. The 17-inch wheels hold the road well even when driving on the freeway in rain. All in all for the price I paid I feel very satisfied with my new car and must admit I enjoy the compliments from those who notice it in the bright yellow and black combination. The gloss black instrument panel bezels are a beautiful upgrade included in the Urbana Trekking Collection 1.

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.
