Terrible! Problems from the beginning!
Stay away. My car has had issues since the beginning. Constantly has issues with the electrical system that make it undriveable. Fiat was unable to fix it even while new and under warranty. Avoid Fiat. They do not stand behind their vehicles, and the quality just isn't there unfortunately.
Don't bother!
Stay away from this car! FCA had to buy it back as the BCM (Body control module) could not be programmed. Was a headache dealing with FCA.. Horrible customer service.. I will never purchase ANY vehicle that falls under the title or umbrella of FCA. DO NOT waste your money!

After 2 years
Unless it has been improved on the road noise is very annoying on some surfaces. My son and I have done some work on upgrading that issue with sound deadening material and it has helped but still annoying. When stopped at a traffic signal I have to put the transmission in idle because of the annoying vibration from the engine.

Small crossover that thinks its a small car
After my wife's 500c was wrecked we looked until we found an absolutely loaded 500x. The car doesnt have a ton of power but the 2.4 revs high and mated to the decent 9 speed auto it makes it a lot of fun to drive. The steering is pretty numb but you can whip this car around pretty good. The handling of the car is good for being a but top heavy. The gas mileage isn't out of this world maybe average at best. The interior is nice front seats are comfortable and supportive and the controls are well placed and easy to use. The car is an absolute blast in the snow. Turn off ESC and put it in sport mode for a lot of fun. I'd reccomend it to anyone looking for a small suv/crossover that stands out. Deffinatly a lot of Italian flair.

It’s an OK car
Bought a 2016 500x Easy with only 40k miles on it. Shifting is really rough, especially with those first few gears, like throw your head back into the seat kind of rough. Also rough downshifting when braking. Other than that, the car was awesome. Cute, spacious, and very up to date with technology. I unfortunately returned it to the dealer because I had a 2013 Ford Focus before the Fiat and it had horrible transmission problems so I was too paranoid with the Fiats hard shifting and didn’t want it to become a problem later down the road. I hear there’s a software patch for the shifting but I also hear it only makes it more bearable and doesn’t fix the problem entirely. Not saying it’s a bad car but do your research!
