This 2017 500x is a great vehicle, my second Fiat. I wanted a 6 speed manual with turbo (limited to less than 5% of all 500x cars imported to US). It is a practical Italian sports car that has a strong engine, fantastic handling and great ride quality. Highway mileage is 33 mpg and city is 25 mpg. Unfortunately, all options were not available with this Pop configuration, ie sunroof and leather interior, but did include back-up camera, Sirius radio, bluetooth, touch screen, etc. The combination of the Abarth motor together with the 6 speed make this car very enjoyable to drive for short commutes or long distance travel. Incentives made it an even better value. Full 50,000 mile or 4 year warranty is excellent. Don’t hesitate to purchase a Fiat, they offer outstanding reliability, and a very connected driver experience you won’t get with the competition. Update 8/20/20: I now have nearly 28k on the odometer and my review of this incredible vehicle has not changed. It is one of the best cars I have owned and I have owned many. I put on 17" Sparco rims with larger profile Continental tires for a little more height. Still handles perfectly. I also installed an Ulter performance exhaust and K & N air filter. I use this vehicle daily in addition to a CL55 AMG that I have. With the back seat down, the available storage is huge. The front passenger seat folds forward for extra long items. No service issues whatsoever. Manual shift is no longer available in the US. Great, great vehicle and value. Sorry for Fiat that sales are weak in America. World sales have been leading the market segment. 2/21 Update: Still enjoying the 500X Fiat. No issues, 2/23 Sold this fine car after 4 years of happy and trouble-free ownership. I wish I had kept it.

Got a great offer on a lease with the 500X and I'm glad we took advantage of it. So far with a couple highway trips and a lot of downtown driving we are very hoppy with the car. The only complaint I can come up with is the way the trim levels are structured, but between the nice interior that is way more subtle and stylish than it's Jeep counterpart, the ease of driving, and the driving position in the vehicle we are very satisfied.

bought our car dec’17 . had 35 miles on it . the thing drives like a dream . we had a historic snow storm here and this little car , which i did not think would do as good . i was going past full size 4wd trucks and suv’s like nothing . it was a tank . now roughly 9 months later has about 5700 miles now . had the car into the dealer roughly 5 x for key fob problems . replaced fobs and later entire system and have done others things to make it work proper . still have problems bit kinda gave up on it . the button pads on steering wheel are pretty loose . have little problems here and there but getting fixed . the ride is great . very smooth on virtually any type road . steering is responsive . cannot mash the gas and expect to get moving quick . yes it does have a bit of engine and tranny noises but this is expected as well for this class of car . seats are actually not bad . stiff but cushy at same time . back seat is big enough for a hundred pound dog . and she loves it . good amount of cargo room . if you look at the car it seems small but really it is bigger on the inside . milage is about 22mpg around 29mpg hiway . for the price of our fiat it is pretty good overall . the big problems are the electronics . the style is real nice inside and outside . if i was asked to get another fiat , well about 50/50 . my wife loves it . we are in the city . which is great . it is zippy and that is great for city driving .

Disclaimer I've only had this car for 1 month. This review will get monthy updates on cost to own. As in gas and repairs, of any sort. It is a 2016 with 41,000 miles and no wrecks listed on car fax. Also coming from a 32 year old who's single. Bought for $12,000 dollars. So far I love this car. It's the trekking model. With a lot of the upgrades like, heated steering wheel and remote start, cornering lamps, rear blind spot monitoring. Plus my favorite the beats by Dre subwoofer sound system. Which is plenty good enough to last me a couple months to a year to install a set of 12' subwoofers ( if you listen to rap or hard rock music). Otherwise I don't recommend. Positives Plenty of space for what I need. Can fit $200 bucks of groceries in the back. But your not fitting your girlfriends big wooden dresser even with back seats folded down. My nieces and nephews can ride 5 deep in it. I'd say front seats 6'2 and smaller plenty of room. And back seats 6'0 and down. I get looks and questions all the time. I live in Western PA so no one has this car. I literally haven't seen one since I bought it. I've started conversations with women over this car. A current girl I'm dating. So ya positive. My comfort level inside is definitely 5 of 5. My first week of driving it. We had a snow storm. It dashed right through 4" of snow no problem. It is all wheel drive tho. With a traction, eco and sports modes. The exterior and interior. Look and feel great. For the price it's hard to find all the luxuries you can get on this car. Considering all the negative marks the so called experts gave. It's power and handling are quite a bit better the I thought it would be. At 185 hp it has peep. And no problems driving 90 on a highway. Or getting up to higher speeds I've had no issue. Flaws(so far) Of which I can only say two. The cvt 9 speed transmission. Is a bit jerky in low gears. I've never had a cvt before. But it's different to get used to. I'm guessing it's about fuel economy. It has slap shift and a sports mode. That make it a lot more fun to drive. In this category of car. It's on the lower end of mpg. On curvy back roads and city. I've gotten about 26 mpg. On the highway I've been looking at a better 30 mpg. Overall totally fine for me. But there is better if you fancy that at the top of your list. Overview If your a guy like me. Who fancies looks, sound systems, something unique, and affordable. Don't hesitate to buy this car!! There's a lot said about Fiat. But even Honda and Toyota made crappy cars in past decades. And until this car proves me wrong. I'm going to be plenty Happy with this transaction! Like I said updates incoming hopefully monthly
