Weeks of research led me to this great decision

2016 FIAT 500X Trekking Plus 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
After my wife and I (and eventually our two teenagers) shared a VW Beetle for 12 years, we wanted to get a new car. I researched the VW Beetle turbo, which I loved but my wife wanted a four door. Drove the VW GTI which I also loved but that's a cramped racer, we needed more room. Seriously considered a Nissan Juke AWD (turbo) -- the Nissan has excellent power but it's got small cargo … capacity and most of all the Nissan has a loud cabin at highway speeds. Tried out a Subaru XV (good cargo capacity but lousy power) and a Subaru Forester (so ugly, and too large), and VW GTI. I kept coming back to the Fiat 500x, test drove one on three different occasions. Here's why I chose the Fiat, and what I think of the car after driving it for just three days.
You get a quiet ride with the 500x, at 80 MPH the car just floats along like a luxury car. Quieter than the Subaru XV, the 500x also holds the road like a substantial vehicle whereas the XV seems more like a lightweight. The 500x is so much quieter than the Juke, you can hardly compare them (though the Juke has turbo and pulls with greater power).
Styling of the 500x (Trekking) is superior, and it grows on you. Every time I look at the 500x I like it more!
Seats are comfortable on long distance drives. I made one 500 mile trip the day after purchase, and I fit right in to the seats. My 500x has manual, non-heated, fabric seats. I like the brown leather upgraded seats offered, but didn't want to pay the high price for the options package that includes them.
I have also tested the AWD function, as we had a freak rain storm yesterday. You turn the dial to traction mode and it really works. You can view the wheel spin percentages for each wheel on your dash, but choosing that option with the steering wheel controls. I don't know how this technology has been developed but it seems very sophisticated. All of this for a brand new car I bought for about $23,000. What a great value. Thank you Fiat.
Update January 2018 — 32,000 miles on the car and it still looks and drIves great. Zero problems.
Update January 2020 — 68,000 miles. I did have a mechanical issue with the coolant system. It required a new part. Other than that, no problems. Interior still looks good. I like the quality of the seats. Paint looks new. At idle in gear the car shakes a bit more than you’d think is normal. Very pleased with the purchase.
January 2021: 84k mi. Car still looking great. Have used the AWD system in snow. Works well. Front driver seat showing a crack. Mysterious rattle. Runs great. The transmission shifts less smoothly. Very low maintenance.
July 2022: 95k mi. Car runs like a champ. Did need to have motor mounts changed which sounds drastic but the local dealer did it under our extended warranty and it wouldn't have been that expensive anyway. I think the 2016 model year had poor motor mounts, so the car was making a noise at idle. New motor mounts fixed it. Other than that we have replaced the brakes and are on third set of tires. We are still happy with our 500X.
