Stay away. My car has had issues since the beginning. Constantly has issues with the electrical system that make it undriveable. Fiat was unable to fix it even while new and under warranty. Avoid Fiat. They do not stand behind their vehicles, and the quality just isn't there unfortunately.

Stay away from this car! FCA had to buy it back as the BCM (Body control module) could not be programmed. Was a headache dealing with FCA.. Horrible customer service.. I will never purchase ANY vehicle that falls under the title or umbrella of FCA. DO NOT waste your money!

I've only know Fiat's my entire life. My first car that I learned how to drive on was a 2014 FIAT 500 Pop and it was the best little car I have ever had. The only complaint I ever had with it is that sometime my 50 mph was not the same as other cars' 50 mph. I had to upgrade to the 2016 FIAT 500x and I'm absolutely in love with it. I did quite a bit of research on it before purchasing and was prepared for it to be a "rough riding car" as the review said. It certainly does rattle a bit due to the motor mounts holding the engine in place and yes – the automatic transmission does have issues with low power shifts. Other than that, its a fantastic little car that – with time – you learn about its little quirks and can tell when it needs something fixed. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Best safety features

My 2017 Fiat 500x lounge with 14000 miles. It has been a good reliable car with no issues, it looks great and i love the safety features offered to the driver. Other manufactures advertise the forward collision avoidance system but fail to give the details, some work up to 19mph and some only start above 37 mph where fiat gives you up to full speed, and i have read it in the owners manual, be aware most car salesmen have no idea on the numbers and just tell you that it has it. Overall fun car to drive and its been reliable.
