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.

Very practical and nice compact SUV. Very different from all the Start Wars creases and inlets of modern SUVs.

A good car

I love my little Fiat X, It does really well in the snow. I did have to buy snow tires (but that was during the year Utah had an atmospheric river.) It did really well traveling through the valley, I commute 40 minutes, and I am grateful it did well. My only frustration was the key fob battery died every year, had to replace it often. My battery needed to be replaced but that was standard for a car that old. I would recommend this car.

Love at first sit

2016 FIAT 500X Lounge 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

I bought my FIAT 500x Lounge gently used. I was actually in the dealership to look at the Jeep Renegade, but the specific one I had come in to see had sold. I noticed the FIAT and asked if I could test drive it. It was love at first sit. I have a bad neck and back, and it is hard for me to comfortable in a vehicle. The 500x is hands down the most comfortable seat I have encountered. The sporty look, quality of the trim and awesome sound system are just icing on the cake for me. I will agree that the transmission is a bit 'confused' at times. However, I have learned to drive it so it shifts quite smoothly. It just takes some getting used to. It rides incredibly smoothly on the freeway. Not the quietest car I have ever driven, but also not the loudest. The road noise is perceivable but not distracting. Overall the FIAT 500x Lounge offers a smooth, solid and sturdy ride with great visibility and plentiful features. I love my FIAT!
