Car reviewers have become so clueless....or maybe they have been dumbed down by driving Honda accords for years. Well, I own this car and it is fantastic fun to drive! Great family car, provided you don't have a ton of kids. Turbo engine is fun just like the in the 80s...remember when fun was part of life!?? Lots of space High roof line! I'm 6'2" Great appearance ( reviewers didn't like it, but these people think Hyundai's are attractive) Awesome sound system Killer wheels Heated leather seats Navigation that, while take a bit to figure out, actually works! All for well under 24k I paid 22.8 for a trekking. If you're looking at this car , not much else in price range.....go for it! Oh and warranty is very fair as well.

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

Disappointment

Pros- Technology, Beats audio, panoramic moonroof. Easy to park. Cons. Rough, often loud ride, so-so mpg, dependability. Neat looking car (unique) and can be fun to drive. Long trips were only tolerable. I had a coil pack, a torque converter and an engine mount go out on me prior to 60k miles. The issue with the engine mount was very special, since a new one was unavailable for around 45 days. I had to say "arrivederci" to the Fiat. Seemed I would be chasing expensive repairs for the foreseeable future.

Car is still flawless. Update** Two years, change oil/filters only. Flawless. This is the car my family takes on all trips.

This is a fun little drive, but not so little! Tons of interior space. I owned the 2014, then got the 2018 model after 1st one was totaled. I loved it that much! The 2018 has so many bells and whistles and a fabulous price point. A lot of pick-up, a real zippy ride with great handling.
