  Fiat usa is not customer friendly! - 2015 Fiat 500
  By Gabriel Castillo - January 19 - 10:11 am

  I bought my 2015 fiat 500 pop five months ago, thats when my troubles started... at the first rain I found out that my car has a leak, car did not have even 500 miles when I took it to get serviced, in staid of giving me a new car they repaired it, I thought I was buying a new car, in staid I have a new repaired car, and this is only the beginning.... stereo problem, done the software update no changes, had the engine check light that went on, the heater takes 20 MIN to defog at full power, driver seat latch sticks and now another leak. They are great little cars and fun to drive when they work. Till this moment Fiat USA and the dealership is still giving me the turn around.

  Fiat USA is NOT customer friendly! - 2015 Fiat 500
  By Doug at - December 26 - 10:52 pm

  I bought my Fiat 1 year ago. I love the little car! But Fiat is not customer friendly. On 8/27/2015, my engine blew with 28,000 on the car. It took over a month to get it repaired and back to me. Three days later, I gave it back to the dealer, as it was not fixed. The 2nd engine blew. 3 months later, they gave me my car back. The upper management will not contact me. They continue to tell a CSR my options. 1/3 of my ownership has been in the shop, and they dont care. Buyers look elsewhere if you want support. My case number is 28015096.

  Ciao Bella - 2015 Fiat 500
  By Bapa Fazio - December 1 - 1:56 pm

  Inexpensive fun transportation. Replaced a 92 Miata with this and its as much fun to drive. Not a lot of pop in the pop but I smile every time I drive it. Lots of front seat room rear seats comfortable for kids only. Good manual transmission. Short turning radius. Small for city driving and rides better than expected on the freeway. I like the styling, not a typical boring low end car. Only have 3000 miles so I cant speak about reliability.

  Really love this little car! - 2015 Fiat 500
  By jahbro - November 1 - 7:02 pm

  I really love this little car! It is super fun to drive. Not in a super-car kind of way, in a goofy, balls to the wall, dont give a damn kind of way. Its always "on" meaning its always ready to play, like a puppy dog. It is comfortable enough for long hauls and with the standard 16" wheels it tracks like a little freight train down the freeway, really! On highway trips Im getting around 33-35 mpg which is exactly the EPA rating and around town probably more like 22-26 mpg (much more dependent on how you drive it). The only thing Id change would be to redesign the center vertical tunnel stack thing because it does interfere a bit with my knees (Im a big guy, weighing in at 300 lbs and 510").

  great little car - 2015 Fiat 500
  By Cameron - July 28 - 2:21 am

  Ive had this for around 8-10 months, so I cant really say much on long term reliability, but its a fun little car. No parking aids on my, but then again whats the point. just aiming it in the general direction is good enough. Its small enough where i can just go "Eh, good enough" and it is. Its a quick car, and still has decent acceleration at 60+ mph. It handles and grips well, is a lot of fun as a daily driver, well at least when there isnt too much traffic. The driving position is quite high, coming from my 98 BMW, but it somehow just adds to the fun. Ive seen people complain about the lack of space, and granted, the rear seats kinda suck, but theres more than enough room if you only need to drive yourself or one other person around, not to mention it just is a physically smaller car which I like. If Im careful, I can get 36-37 mpg between city and highway with traffic, could probably get 38-39 if there wasnt any traffic, but I generally dont bother with it. More fun not worrying about mileage, and even when being rather liberal with the gas it still gets decent mileage. Gets about the same range as my BMW did, I use a higher grade gas, and it still costs ~15$ less to fill up the tank. I think the ride is quite good, though my dad said the BMW felt like a rock (never really noticed myself). It makes a nice sound making it somewhat ridiculous, but not over the top. Its not super loud or anything, but its enough to put a smile on my face. I couldnt be happier with it,

  Great little car - 2015 Fiat 500
  By powell4665 - June 29 - 3:32 pm

  I was looking at another car in the used car section of the Fiat dealer. I liked the way the Fiat looked so decided to give it a drive. Turned out I really liked this cute little car. So bought it that day. Red with automatic transmission. I can see where some of the interior parts will likely not hold up well, but for the money and styling, I think its a great deal. I dont really drive a lot anymore and this is really perfect for me. Comfortable, peppy, and fun to look at.

  2015 FIAT 500 Pop (1.4 l gas, 5 Speed Manual) - 2015 Fiat 500
  By reviewer83 - March 11 - 12:18 am

  Although the MSRP is $16,000, I paid $13,000 for a brand new 2015 model on Black Friday after a lot of negotiating. While the price is the best feature of this car, putting an affordable nice new car within reach of anyone at any income level, the FIAT just has so many other great qualities on top of that. It gets 40 miles per gallon on the freeway, and I average 34, including city driving, in my typical commute. It easily reaches freeway speeds and feels very safe and comfortable at 75 MPH. It has excellent handling in all circumstances. The interior was actually "designed," not "thrown together." The manual transmission is very fun to drive with, even when its not in sport mode.

  My fourth Fiat 500... - 2015 Fiat 500
  By sruczko - August 31 - 5:08 am

  Ive owned four 500s since the model was introduced in 2012. Started with a Pop, went to an Abarth, then to a Sport, and am back in the fold with a new 2015 Sport. Subtle refinements to the 2015 are much appreciated, especially the new electronic instrument cluster. I have owned way too many cars but I think the Fiat may be my favorite all around vehicle. FUN to drive, wonderful design inside and out, frugal with fuel, easy to maneuver and park, great driving position and sight lines. Get the Sport model, engage the "sport" button, and enjoy one of the best kept secrets in the new car market.
