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.

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!

I bought this car new in 2016 and have only taken it to the shop for oil change, Have driven it for 31,000 miles already and I truly recommend it specially for newer generation. Well recommended!

I do love my 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking. I love the heated seats real leather seats, steering wheel sunroof, adjusted driver seat, the safety side mirrors and the smooth ride. I have had many compliments on this car its classy. It's a pretty blue suv.

Are we enjoy how the car looks and the interior amenities that come with the 2016 feet at 500 X AWD Trekking plus we have a literally only have issues. So much has needed replacement under the warranty and now they were 2000 miles off of the warranty our field dealership is saying the drivetrain needs to be completely replaced. Plus they should also come into account when thinking about buying an Fiat There’s not many mechanics can service them because of where their parts come, and they’re more of a specialty car. So expect to only go to your Fiat dealership wherever the nearest one might be to you. We’ve owned this car for just over a year and we’ve been to the fiat dealership 7 times to fix various issues.
