Used 2017 FIAT 500X Lounge 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A) Consumer Reviews
Best Car I've Ever Owned....
I've been extremely happy with this car. Ride is excellent. Quite and smooth. Great gas mileage!!! Great power!!! Fantastic Handling!!! I feel like I'm driving a sports car. I'm glad the computer has a setting to notify you regarding your speed. I have mine set for 10 miles above the limit and it is always notifying me as you don't realize how fast you are going. You can't feel it shifting except when you first start out as it is a little hesitant. The interior rivals cars that are much costlier. The materials used and fit and finish are excellent. My biggest gripe is Fiat needs to market this car through their Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler dealers and service them their as well or at worst case scenario require Alfa/Maserati dealers to service at least under warranty. I live in a fairly large metropolitan city and I have to drive 60 to 75 miles to the closet dealer for warranty work. I only wish I drove more but I work out of my house......

Quirky but...
I love the way this car handles! But the gas milage is poor! Not a lot of space in the rear and there is NO spare tire! The nearest Fiat dealer from where I live is 30 miles away. Chrysler can do basic work, fluid changes, ac work but anything beyond that I have to drive to the dealer. If the car needs to stay overnight I'm looking at a rental. Locally they shuttle you home. It is tight seating in the rear but that's no surprise. Overall if the gas milage was much better I would give it 5 stars.

Had the car about a year, already very disappointe
Decided to lease the vehicle in December of 2016, the car had engine lights come on and had to be towed within 24hrs of getting it home, I was told there was a bad sensor in my side view mirror. About 2 months later, I was driving with my kids on the highway and a “drive mode unavailable” warning came on. I was left stranded on the highway with 2 small children in a new car. They came and towed it, I never got a clear answer for the problem. I told them to check the transmission, which they said was “fine”. They returned the car to me with the warning light off over a week later with the transmission worse than ever. It is not fine, the jerking that occurs from the stop position to first gear is horrible, it is like driving in a manual trasmission car with someone learning how to shift. I have a neck injury, and some days driving this car is like torture. I have owned other Chrysler family vehicles in the past with no issues, I never dreamed I would be this disappointed. I travel for work and drive rental cars three weeks a month, and I don’t see this problem with other manufacturers. Also, don’t expect help from ANY other dealerships in the Chrysler family of you are having troubles, they like to defer you to only Fiat dealerships which are few and far between.

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.
