2019 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
I was looking for a car to get back and forth from work and to run errands with and this car fits the bill. Since we are now empty nesters, I don't need a large car to transport my son's teams hockey equipment anymore so my needs were a 4 cylinder (Turbo's a plus) car with a high clearance and all wheel drive. Since the 500x is built on the Jeep Renegade frame and possessed those features, we decided to test drive the Trekking model. I'm 6 feet tall and had no problem fitting behind the wheel but the second row is a tight fit for long drives. When you drop the second seats down, you have plenty of room for cargo. The dash layout is ergonomic and not too complicated and although the touch screen is a little on the small side, I am adjusting to it over time. The motor is a 177hp, 4 cylinder turbo that is the largest in it's class so it has more than enough acceleration to handle commuting traffic. So far the drawbacks I've noticed have been the gas tank capacity (<13 gallons) and the high octane recommended although I've just lately have been filling up with 89 octane and so far haven't noticed any lag. Another issue is the bells and beeps the driver assist throws at you. I'm working on the default settings to see if I can tone them down. So... all and all I've been very happy with the selection we've made. I'll try to update this review as we more into the hot then colder (snowy) seasons.

Turbo with 6 speed Manual = Abarth motor

2017 FIAT 500X Pop 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
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.

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 .

2017 FIAT 500X Lounge 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

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......

2019 FIAT 500X Trekking 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
I have a 2019 500X in the Trekking trim. It is a comfortable car, and the new 1.3 turbo gives you a class leading 210 lb-ft of torque at just 2200 RPM. In normal mode it is peppy enough. Put it in sport mode and it really goes. I have no complaints about the power of this car and the handling. I see a lot of people complain about the transmission. Well, in normal mode it tries to hold down the revs so you achieve better mileage. If your like me, just leave it in sport mode and you get good crisp shifts at higher revs and the car comes alive. People notice it, too. I am often asked how it drives and if I like it and I say I definitely enjoy the ride! I came from a Dodge Challenger when I finally realized I needed the safety of all wheel drive and the cargo space. Is it as fast as a Challenger? Of course not! Buy a hemi if you want acceleration. If you want a fun, peppy, satisfying car to drive everyday, you cannot go wrong with the 500X.
