Leased the due to reliability concerns bit so far, no problems. Love the styling. The optional two tone dash and seats are awesome - retro feel and fun. Only con is gas mileage. City driver here and averaging 20mpg. Would 3xpect much better from a new car but pros offset this

we have owned this 500x for almost two years. great mpg 25-28mpg city/combination, 32+ on the hwy. 36mog highest. very comfortable seating. great height adjustable driver and passenger seats. no real issues. oil changes/tire rotation only maintenance. only real problem is that the original nexen tires will be lucky to last 30,000 miles

We had the pleasure of moving to a metro area. We’ve had many suburbans in Tahoe’s and larger SUVs. Including Jeep grand Cherokee’s. We love those vehicles. But I love the fear. In one of the worst blizzards I’ve seen in the Midwest the Fiat 500 X handled better than anything else I’ve ever driven except a Subaru outback. The interstate was closed 20 minutes after I went down at passing vehicle safely. I’ve never felt more solid in the vehicle. It’s like a cute jellybean with all wheel drive. The front seats are incredibly comfortable and luxurious. However, there’s minimal legroom in the Backseat. The finish is nice and the steering wheel is incredibly comfortable. The motor is a little week for acceleration but does the job in the city. It’s it’s much higher than you think. Compared to its sibling the jeep renegade it’s a much more luxurious and cute car with greater personality. The ride is better due to the difference in suspensions. Because usually get about five to $7000 off the sticker price it’s a great value. I’ll buy another one again once they offer adaptive cruise control

faulty electronics

Extremely upset with this car! Faulty electronics. As I am driving, in the rain, the electronics will go haywire, air bags disable, power steering disabled, can barely get it to stop. It will either shut off or will not let me shut off. I have had it in the shop so many times and it still not fixed. I was on a very busy road when this last time happened. Do I have to die before something is done??
