I got 2015 model with 1.4 l engine multi air turbo and is doing well it's high torque motor.160hp with 182 F. Lbs its adequate for good acceleration and hwy speed .. Dual clutch transmission is little different then standard hydraulic transmission but if you understand it it's actually doing well... Fast shifting and better efficiency in overall.Car handling Is very good for tall MPV"B" fairly compact design but it feels little on heavy side. Fuel economy is good . Amazing Interior space utilization exterior design is very unique in comparison with normal MPVs .

We bought ours with only 44,000 miles in May, and got an extraordinarily good deal. No problems whatsoever besides a tire light (and I've had trouble with those in other vehicles). Awesome looking, all the bells and whistles, good gas mileage. I'll let you know later if it holds up.

Blind spots! Get to know you blind spots. Sluggish acceleration. Top heavy. Love the size, the look and, so far, the reliability.

My wife has a 2014 Fiat 500C, 1957 convertible edition and loves the car. It has appreciated quite a bit after owning it since 2017. Thought the 500L might be a collectible too, but after driving it, it was clearly just a cheap entry level small SUV or cross over. It was slow, noisy, and very cheap and unsafe feeling. The price was way too high for such a tin box. It was very underwhelming so we walked. Looking a Mini Countryman next.

I will never purchase a Fiat again! When I first bought it I loved it....2 years later and thousands of dollars in repairs. Seems every month something new needs to be fixed on it... ..not happy customer at all!!
