  No not the tiny Fiat, the NEW Fiat with AWD! - 2016 Fiat 500x
  By Katrina Fernandez - November 23 - 12:22 am

  Pros: Very stylish! ( A cross between a Mini Cooper and a CRV) All Wheel Drive at a good starting price (around $24K) Easy to drive and easy to park Small, but not too small. Gas efficient Keyless entry and remote start Cons: Issues with the VIN#s, resulted in me having a hard time insuring the Car. It would have been nice if the dealership told me about this known issue before I drove off the lot!!! I was only able to find one insurer for my new car, which means I didnt get the best rate. I went back to the dealership and they provided me with a VIN # verification form- hopefully that does the trick. They slipped a piece of paper in my car, with information about the issue when I bought the car. Again, it would have been nice if they addressed the issue up front. I leased the car and the dealer didnt really go over what maintenance is covered under the warranty/lease. Where as we just leased a Toyota for my husband and they scheduled the first oil change in 6 months before we even left the dealership. Back seat is just large enough for passengers, but I imagine somebody 6 tall would have issues back there. Overall, Im very happy with the car so far.

  Cute car, shifty car - 2016 Fiat 500x
  By kim - October 21 - 9:26 am

  If youre looking for something cute and stylish then Fiat 500x is the way to go. Not a good car when it comes to handling traffic! So much shiftiness, its definitely disappointing! On the highway though, great car! It feels safe and pretty smooth For the most part. Doesnt handle little bumps on the road too well. Overall, not the best car, but at least its cute?

  The more-than-adequate compact crossover from Fiat - 2016 Fiat 500x
  By D. Winkler - September 22 - 3:51 am

  This is a compact version of your average American crossover, with enough horsepower, traction and capability to do almost everything you need it to do, and not a bit extra. It wont tow your heavy equipment or move much of your furniture, but in Pop form, with the turbocharged multi-air four and six speed manual, it will get down the road nicely. Put some good snow tires on its steel wheels and you will get where you are going through considerable snowfall. The seats are comfortable, but rear seat passengers will be crowded. Handling is really quite good, though my Fiat 500 Pop would run circles around it, and the 500X could easily be called "quick," but not fast. Note that the six speed manual makes all the difference in this model Fiat, though the option sacrifices you will have to make to row your own gears are substantial. It seems that Fiat jumped on the manual-because-we-must bandwagon and the 1.4L 6MT is basic in most areas. They saved the really good stuff for the Easy and Trekking versions. No matter, the Pop 1.4L 6MT is a hoot to drive, has good road manners, decent acceleration with the turbocharger and a healthy lack of infotainment bells and whistles. I do wish accessories were more reasonably priced and the 1.4L multi-air engine didnt eat premium gas, but there is much to like and no complaints so far. The Pop manual edition wont be easy to find, since it seems each studio has only one, but Fiat is offering some attracting incentives this fall (Oct 15).
