Great balance of luxury, safety and style
Small crossovers are hot these days—they are easy to park, affordable, and packed with safety features including all-wheel-drive. To that combo, my Fiat 500x adds style and luxury touches. It's less popular than its Jeep Renegade twin, probably because Fiats are sold with other FCA brands. 2016 Trekking Plus models have slightly more aggressive styling with a satin chrome finish, and are fully loaded with excellent heated front seats (power on the driver's side), heated steering wheel, automatic A/C, fog + cornering lamps, UConnect infotainment with navigation and passive entry/pushbutton start. I am very pleased with the automatic headlights, speed sensitive wipers, dual-pane sunroof and safety equipment that came with the Tracking Plus Collection 2 package of options. The drivetrain is smooth and responsive. Parking is easy, thanks to the compact size and backup camera. The adjustable cargo floor is handy, though I prefer it in the upper position with some hidden storage underneath. Dislikes? It's a bit of a step to get in. Back seat legroom can be tight if front seats are pushed back for tall drivers. Gas mileage is merely average, but refueling is easy—no gas cap to remove. I rarely use remote start. Plastic door trim on all Fiats are easily scuffed. And the various safety alerts can be pretty loud. Annoyances aside, if you're not paying the depreciation, the 500x is a great choice for its standard features, practical size and attractive styling. Note that the 2019 tweaks removed out some options, so Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are in, and the heated steering wheel is out.

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.

We have only had problems.
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.
