Used 2016 FIAT 500X Consumer Reviews

the Fiat 500X is better car than my last 8 cars.

Don't waste your time or money

We were excited to be the first 500X owners in our town. We showed this car off to all our friends and family. A month after purchase, the car started shifting very firm and overheated. After going to the dealer, I was told that there was water in the oil ( telling me that a head was cracked or a seal was bad) we got the car back the next day and was told everything was fine. No notes on the paperwork about water being in the oil. Assuming everything was fine, we took the car back. A week later the car would stall during hard braking or hard acceleration. Today while picking my daughter up from a friends house, the car stalled and would not start for over 2 hours. No help from dealership on this matter as of yet. It could be our car, but after reading other reviews I don't think we're alone in this matter.

The 500X never stops disappointing

Its been about 6 months with my 500X and there's not a day that goes by that I regret the decision to buy it. I had a few problems once I first bought the car and was received poorly at my Fiat agency and Fiat USA. Ther was never any acknowledgement of the problems (shiftiness, tire screeching, electronic malfunction), instead they just assured me everything was ok. Well it's month six and those problems, sans the electronic, are still there. Add a horrible, annoying and constant rattling from both doors and that's what I put up with daily. I regret not buying a Mazda or Honda.

Unfortunate issues

I owned the Fiat 500 L, which was totalled, and I walked away from the crash, so for that, I was thankful. I had many issues with my car, but for the price and accessories, I considered the 500 X. I had it as my rental car. It already had issues with only 4000 miles on it. The engine was hiccup ping already and some back up camera issues were already there. I had to have my backup camera replaced at 15000 miles and had already changed my brakes at 20000. Hope this helps.

Great value

Any car ,or make will have issues. My Fiat 500x 2016 manual transmission is great. Anything with moving parts will have issues ,no matter what car company you choose. There are many factors involved to rate a car. How the car is being used and driven. The maintenance, and how many people drive it. My Fiat has 35000 kilometers on it and it's bin a great vehicle with minimal issues. Fun to drive good on fuel, and comfortable. My trim is 500X 1.4 lt trekking manual. Not listed in trim option Thank you Fiat!
