No not the tiny Fiat, the NEW Fiat with AWD!
Katrina Fernandez, Santa Clara, CA, 07/20/2015
2016 FIAT 500X Easy 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
Pro's:
Very stylish! ( A cross between a Mini Cooper and a CRV)
All Wheel Drive at a good starting price (around $24K)
Easy to drive and easy to park
Small, but not too small.
Gas efficient
Keyless entry and remote start
Con's:
Issues with the VIN#'s, resulted in me having a hard time insuring the Car. It would have been nice if the dealership told me about this known issue before I … drove off the lot!!! I was only able to find one insurer for my new car, which means I didn't get the best rate. I went back to the dealership and they provided me with a VIN # verification form- hopefully that does the trick. They slipped a piece of paper in my car, with information about the issue when I bought the car. Again, it would have been nice if they addressed the issue up front.
I leased the car and the dealer didn't really go over what maintenance is covered under the warranty/lease. Where as we just leased a Toyota for my husband and they scheduled the first oil change in 6 months before we even left the dealership.
Back seat is just large enough for passengers, but I imagine somebody 6' tall would have issues back there.
Overall, I'm very happy with the car so far.
So Far So Good

2016 FIAT 500X Easy 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
Only had our 500X AWD for a month, but it seems to handle the curves in the mountains of NC/TN very well. Also the AWD seems to handle the rain better than our FWD Corolla. Notice some reviews complain on the shifting, my experience switch to "sport" when you know you need more responsive shifting. Works for us. Not really comfortable front seats but for a compact SUV I can live with it. … Only real complaint is the factory navigation and trying to find an update for it online. Google maps very up to date but would like NAV to be updated so I can leave phone alone totally and use factory hands free. Look forward to this fall/winter to see how the AWD holds up.
Gets a lot of attention!

2016 FIAT 500X Easy 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
This car is actually fun to drive, and it gets a lot of attention, with people pointing at it! It's pretty roomy in the front. The back is so-so. Great for kids or smaller people. I bought the 2.4 AWD. It hugs the road nicely. The auto shifting is a bit rough. It takes some time getting used to. The stereo rocks, and there are USB ports. It was very easy to sync the phone. The middle … screen on the dash has a lot of computer "stuff" that you can program. IE-Alerts you when you are going a certain speed that you have set, outside temp, miles to empty etc. Plus you can have it show digitally MPH (The speedometer to the left of that screen actually is the "old school" 20, 30, 40 etc with the lines for each 5MPH increment. All in all I give it a 4. I would give it a 5, but it's a bit slow pulling into traffic. It doesn't "lag", however. It slowly but steadily increases in speed. It's a quiet ride, and once you hit 70+ MPH it's very smooth. I like it! THUMBS UP.
Fun little SUV
Abe, Atlanta, GA, 07/23/2016
2016 FIAT 500X Easy 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
I thoroughly enjoyed driving Fiat 500X during a recent trip in spite of trying my friend's Mazda 3 (rental again) during the same period. I liked - free revving engine/confidence inspiring handling/steering etc. Not so liked - interior space (as expected), a little jerky transmission at times on some mode.
Please find the video I shot during the trip - … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ8pY-3twms.
My reliability rating is of course based on my rental period - the car almost had 20000 miles in it and was as good as new except for few scratches both inside and out (unlike a regular Fiat 500 I rented some time back which had a broken seat folding liver and couple of loose parts at around 45000 miles).
