I love my car. I drove several different cross-overs and loved this one. I asked for a longer factory warranty and got it--89 months/100,000 miles. I have had no problems with my car and drive it daily. Update: I still love my car. In over a year the only thing it has needed was an oil change. It got me through snow during the winter, pouring rain in the PNW, and to work every day. Almost 2 years later and i still love my 500x. Still no problems.

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 .
