I love my car. I drove several different cross-overs and loved this one. I asked for a longer factory warranty and got it--89 months/100,000 miles. I have had no problems with my car and drive it daily. Update: I still love my car. In over a year the only thing it has needed was an oil change. It got me through snow during the winter, pouring rain in the PNW, and to work every day. Almost 2 years later and i still love my 500x. Still no problems.

This was the newest vehicle I’d ever purchased(purchased 2017). When I test drove it, I was concerned about the obvious lag when shifting from 1st to 2nd(it’s an automatic but can manually shift if driver chooses). The dealer convinced me it was because I was used to a 6 cylinder(Chevy impala) and the Fiat was a 4. So I rush purchased...only to be disappointed! Turns out the lag is because it’s a 9 speed. I still can’t stand the lag when shifting gears. But there was MORE to come. Within a few months the plastic, poorly manufactured drivers door handle snapped OFF, causing me to have to enter through the passenger side AND half of the gas tank entry(idk what it’s called) snapped off as well. Luckily those were covered by my 1 year warranty. Following that, I’ve had nothing but problems that I’m assuming are electrical or a problem w transmission. I’d have to downshift going uphill in order for the rpms to catch(I’m not a car expert so I hope that makes sense). That happened SEVERAL times after being fixed several times. I’d also get alerts “drive mode unavailable” continuously which terrified me while going 80 on the highway! But the car continued to drive. It IS a tiny vehicle, although aesthetically pleasing(I don’t think so but I’ve had a lot of compliments). And I do HAVE to say after all my complaints, it’s a beast in the snow with its AWD. Never got stuck even when there was a foot of snow. Not so much as a slide. Personally I’d consider an American model of vehicle, which I’m in the process of hunting now. The dealer convinced me that the Fiat is American since Chrysler makes it but I had to drive 1.5 hours away to get serviced? It’s possible I just got a lemon and these vehicles are great but buyer beware!

Been asked update my review , i’m still not impressed with the car it has stalled out a couple times after warming up and very sluggish. Gas mileage is OK but not as good as my Chevrolet HHR I still don’t recommend this car to anyone....... I look over at my girlfriend out of the corner of my eye and I can see her bouncing around because the car is so uncomfortable and I find myself apologizing for the ride of the car.

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.
