I was looking for a car after a deer totaled my beloved Prius. Because we're moving to the country and it's West Virginia, an AWD was high on the list of must haves. Went to the dealership intending to look at Imprezas. When we got to the lot, we saw the 2 Imprezas on my list, and then noticed this little darling tucked in the corner with AWD on the windshield. At first we both chuckled, then walked up for a closer look. It was pretty much love at first sight! The car is charming, both exterior and interior. Got the keys, got in, and said, "Wow, these seats are comfortable!" Took it for a spin both in town and on the highway, and was pleasantly surprised at how nimble it is to drive, comfort was great, and speed -- let's just say this car has pickup!! It was so smooth on the highway, my husband said, "honey, you're going to have to watch your speed in this." Went back to the dealership to check out the Imprezas (since that's what we went for), sat in one and immediately got out. Didn't even take it out of the parking spot. Walked back in, asked for the Fiat 500x Easy keys back, and drove it home that day. The drive home was 2 hours, and I loved every minute of it. My husband drove it all the next while we ran errands and said if he was in the market for a car, he'd look for one for himself. No, it doesn't get the same gas milage as the Prius, but Prius doesn't make an AWD, and that was more important to me this time. Bought it used, 2016, 10,000 miles on it, not one scratch or stain -- perfect contdition. I love love love this car!!!! Give it a try, you won't regret it!!!!

My wife and I really love our 500X. It's our second Fiat (we continue to own a 2014 500L). Needless to say, if we've bought a second one, then we must be pretty pleased with our first one (we are!). We purchased our 500X with all the bells and whistles (AWD, safety suite (lane departure warning, lane keep assist, auto emergency braking, back up camera and park assist), leather interior). Our 500X feels very solid over bumps, dips and road imperfections, no squeaks or rattles whatsoever. The 9 Speed transmission is often criticized, but for the most part we're fine with it. It tries to get up into the tallest gear as soon as it can when in normal (when mode selector is in default "Auto" mode). I wish it had a 4th mode where it still wanted to shift up to as high a gear as possible for fuel economy, but was more willing to downshift without having to really stop on the accelerator (as is the case in the "Auto" mode)- a mode somewhere between "Auto" and "Sport". The 3rd mode is "Traction+", which has you pulling away from a stop in 2nd rather than 1st, plus it engages AWD regardless of whether a wheel is slipping or not, as well as a less aggressive accelerator pedal programming. So far no problems, though our 500L has become my commuter car so the 500X doesn't get driven so much. The suspension provides for a very good ride on the whole, though I'd say I slightly prefer the ride of our 500L a bit (it's wheel base is nearly 2 inches longer, and the lower ground clearance makes for a little bit less bouncy-ness due to less suspension travel). The fuel economy could be better- I hope FCA is working on a direct injection version of the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder, or perhaps a new engine entirely. Personally I think the 1.4 liter turbo is the superior engine, but to opt for that in the 500X requires that you accept shifting your own gears via 6 speed manual transmission. I will say the 2.4 liter does well enough in suburban driving, especially if you're lucky on the signal lights, as I've seen better than 35 mpg on occasion. I notice that sales figures have the Jeep Renegade outselling the 500X by about 10:1, but I much prefer the X over the Jeep- how it looks and how it drives, even though they are on essentially the same platform. Finally, the 2018's will have Apple Car Play and Android Auto with FCA's latest Uconnect entertainment suite.

got this fiat 500x on Feb 24 2016 it seams to be a good little SUV . so far NO problems. have about 2500 miles on it now. it rides good , easy to get in and out since it doesn't sit low . I liked the style of it have been asked several times about it when getting gas and things. I was used to a subura crosstrak but after a wreck couldnt afford another subura . this is almost the same . I traded the car in Aug2016 got other crosstrak as I do miss the fiat . I didn't have problems with the car , the value wasn't there . yes I would say get one but yet again its up the person. I like suburas . Sorry Fiat . dealership is closer and where I go theres subura dealerships in MT .
