Alternative to Kia Soul or Mini Countryman

My wife and I wanted a small MPV, and we chose the FIAT 500L "Lounge" over the comparable Kia Soul and Mini Countryman. Neither of us could warm up to the coke-bottle look of the Soul, and the BMW-made Countryman is apparently super-expensive to own and maintain. Though the FIAT 500L is unabashedly quirky (in a cool way), we both enjoy driving it, and am impressed with how much cargo can be loaded when the rear seats are folded down.

Love It!!

This was a weird car to me. Never really knew much about them or seen them on the road until I saw one on the lot. I test drove it up to 65mph and absolutely fell in love with it! Although I had heard some bad things happening to this 2014 year car, it looked like a hit or miss for $10k which I wasn't willing to take as a 21 year old college student, but maybe once my college debt is payed off some years from now I'll reconsider this amazingly fun car! I love the Beats audio system, it made me dream of good sound in a car again!

Great car, larger than it looks, efficient

Can't fault it - it does what it needs to, has all the creature comforts, zippy engine, interior larger than it seems and passengers are not cramped at all, reliable and looks cool too!

100,000 miles and still running strong!

Are use my vehicle ridesharing and absolutely love it! It has unique styling and a surprising amount of room. Everyone comments about how surprised they are with the roominess and headspace. It is great value for money.

Most unreliable car I've ever owned!

I fell in love with this cute Italian car. Italian Leather seats, panoramic retractable glass top, and so many other great features. However, this car let me down. Not even the dealership could figure out the problem with this car & its transmission sensor. My insurance company totaled this car out due to this issue after a wreck. I loved the style and hated the quality!

A real gem of a vehicle!

I loved this car through and through! She did great in the snow despite only being 2wd. Super reliable, comfortable, sporty, fun, spacious, updated technology, all around amazing! I wish I could afford to own 2 vehicles because then I could have kept her. I definitely recommend the manual transmission with the turbo. Cutest car I have ever owned.

It's A Love Hate Sort Of Relationship

I LOVE my 500L. Its different, which is why I looked into it. There are not many on the road in my area so driving people don't see everyday is cool. It's perfect for my family of 4. It fits baby and toddler gear well and is still comfortable for the people. We even took a trip from CA to the east coast of TX in it and it performed great! Why do I hate it then? It's not a true "HATE." It's more of an adventure with this car. It does and has things I've not seen on a car I've owned before. Does it make it bad? Nope. Just takes a learning curve. Why the not perfect 5 star rating? Fiat Studios (dealerships) are scarce in my area and having to take it into a Fiat Authorized Service center for recalls is annoying as Mopar Service is not the same across the board.
