How do you drive it in snow

0:07 skill issue

that is one ugly car

I love the fact that I’ve seen you driving around downtown, now you’re in my KZbin suggestions 😂😂

Awesome video and organization! Your FIAT has been more expensive to maintain than my Alfa Romeo Giulia so far. In 5 years all I had to do was change tires, battery and a couple of relays. I did purchase an extended warranty as it is a 2019 car and I should be covered for another 4 years. I still have less than 20,000 miles on it so let's see what will be the next repair, I'm thinking brakes. The only thing that I am still skeptical about keeping it for more years is if anything breaks, how long would it take for parts to arrive. The only negative thing I have to say about my Alfa is the local dealership connected with Dodge/Jeep, they are simply not that great and I would expect better care when talking about Alfa/Fiat which share the same dealer here. Keep it up!

Still using my R4 - just replaced the 1080Ti with a 7800XT. Will look to upgrade the MB/CPU/RAM next year (and the fans as the standard ones are obviously from a server parts bin given the noise).

I like this video, thank you KZbin

Why does down is upshift, up is down shift. Is this commonthing or only on fiat. I mostly drive japanese cars.

great review, and your legs look really good in those jeans

I have my 2012 manual abarth. It's great! 120000 miles!

You have good taste my friend. My dream spec at well

I have been in the back seat of a 500 with a friend and i am 6ft tall. it was fine. Not for long, but for half an hour drive its fine.

The manual is quicker but more power to you for having such a noice car

I have a reg 500, bought used no turbo. It still puts a smile on my face even though it's not going anywhere fast. Also, twice ive been cut off and twice the car handled hard braking and quick steering input without drama. Ive done similar maneuvers on a gti and that wasn't good.

I'm not from the US but from what I've heard cars like this are actually pretty rare in the US, also because a lot of European cars aren't available there. A Fiesta ST would probably be more unique than a Hellcat

dont be scared of manual. never buy an auto cause you dont know how to drive a manual

Great video. Love the format and style. Thanks! I found this video through the algorithm.

Always loved these

I fw the EsseEsse plate heavy

Bruh you also need to replace your tires wayyyy more often

i liked the video, but that suspension is HORRIBLE

That's what i love about my mk4 Golf from 2003!, thick tires from factory, great seats and suspension, potholes feel very manageable. Most comfortable car i've ever driven.

Automatics are the best!.

Bro it's not 1500 Kg tho

These are cute itty bitty cars. Fiat owes you repaired side skirts! That records binder gets an A+.

My side skirts also separated. Here is the tape you need to use. Its the same tape they used at the factory when the car was built. ( 3M Super Strength Molding Tape #03614) It works very well!

I have the exact color and year model. I love mine too, except for the potholes :D Thank you for the review!

End of the day, it's a Fiat. You should only be concerned if it's not leaking something. It's Italian. And Italians leak.

15:03 also you got hosed by the dealer.

Lmao I've seen that plate before on the road.

Just got me one of these on ebay for 150 bucks, wanted one of these for a loooong time. Mines the R2 version btw, so I might just attach another ssd instead of the optical drive. Could I know where you got those dell cables from? I think I might need them for some of the rebuild.

to own this car is not 600 eur per month, you should calculate how much you lost from the price after 10 years also.

You Americans get weirder and weirder

10 years of straight up depression, i like it ❤❤

Yeah when the cooling system fails it's usually around $100,000 mi or so many hours and when it reaches that critical literally have to redo everything because if any oil ends up in the coolant it ends up making you have to replace the radiator and oil cooler if not caught soon enough Leonard's that extra oil filter for the oil pressure pneumatic injectors or something

It's really nice when people care about their cars, my dad bought a 2008 Ford focus in 2010 with 15,000 miles, he has now passed this down to me and it is sitting at 105,000 miles, 14 years in the family, going to keep it as long as I can

keep u the good work, the vid has a very nice vibe to it.

They ripped you off on the brakes and rotors man.

What a fantastic video, I was shocked when I looked at the number of subscribers you have - the quality and content is miles ahead of many other KZbinrs with 100x your subscriber count. I'm happy to see some people keep their cars for such a long time - most people just dump theirs after a few years to buy the next best thing. I have recently purchased my dream hatchback, brand new, and I will keep it forever!

Warning: long winded rant. I had my 2017 for 5 years, from August 2019 until July 2024 alongside an F80 M3 and then a C6 Corvette ZR1. I saw it all and did it all. It was the source of a lot of pain. Even bone stock, the car would hitch at 5500 rpm half the time. NOT BREAKUP, it's like the throttle was closing. I had all the supporting mods. A tune from EC took care of it, but that came with it's own issues. I went with Phase 0, with the V3 induction thing, plugs, coils, etc. I didn't need power, I wanted OEM plus. I had a 500+ hp M3 and then a 638 hp Corvette for speed. Fast forward to 2022, it starts pinging and knocking when boost hits, even at like no throttle in normal mode. I thought it was bad gas. It goes away until the next summer, 2023. All the plugs were white, O2 sensors were white. Changed everything, and changed all the turbo related stuff, it went away again. Got a tune update from EC, I updated my handheld like an idiot, and it bricked the car. Never had an issue before. I blamed the issues my car had on EC at first, but after this tune update bricked my ECU, and my dealer resurrected it in 15 minutes....that could not be further from the truth. It was okay on the stock tune at first, still with the 5500 rpm hitch, but then.........pinging when boost hit. Again. The car was gone the same week, on July 4th. Some sort of internal MultiAir or head failure was starting. I call it independence day from heartbreak. I always ran it on 93 or 94 octane. It is seriously comical how people think they know these cars better than the engineers, and they just DON'T. EC sucks now, they spread themselves too thin, they'll never take responsibility. Tork is a manchild, he's blown more engines than I can count especially in Hyundais, yells at customers. Openflash don't even bother if you have a 2015+. Some Doverlabs person has the worst torque curves I've ever seen, he wiped his entire Facebook in the past, but not before a few vids of his TOON struggling to make 13 psi surfaced. MTD or whatever they are called have horrible response times. Speedmotive has bricked a bunch of ECUs, but are probably the safest if it works. Moral of the story, this is not the platform to tune. Buy a faster more reliable car. The "community" around these cars is 95% terrible. The only cars worth buying are 2013s. 2014s take 500 years to tune, 2015+ have extra emissions trash that ruins tunes. I am honestly really bitter over the whole experience. I was irrationally attached to that thing and missed out on countless other cool cars that would have not have had these issues. Don't even get me started on the random stuff that broke. Engine mounts, axles leaking, emissions leaks, seat tilting strap thing......never needed a wheel bearing though. The clutch needed replacing at 20,000 miles despite me only doing highway driving and driving manuals all my life....

Good video, but I would never buy one. A lot of money for a POS.

Great video man!😃

loved it, honest review esp the sloppy sound system haha

I've got a Smart diesel that I bought from the dealership, it was an ex demonstration model with less than 2000 miles on the clock, I've probably spent £700 on it, battery, brakes, springs and a new wheel, I replaced the battery and brakes last year at over 140000 miles, I hit a pothole back in 2021 on my way to the MoT and broke the front spring and wheel, annoyingly only two days earlier I had just replaced the tyres, one tyre which had covered around 180 miles was useless, I took have kept all of my receipts, would I change my car? Not a chance, even with the British government trying to force us to go electric, it's just so reliable, it's got battle scars from where people have hit it in car parks and I've never bothered to get it sorted, the panels are plastic so it's not going to rot, it's covered well over 150000 miles now, my daily commute is 60 miles, it's superb on fuel, it's got no gadgets apart from electric windows and central locking, so nothing to go wrong, it's cheap to service, cheap to run, a brilliant little car, like the Fiat, it's the unexpected ones that last the test of time

never owned a fiat, never wanted one, never will buy one, BUT i still watched this for some reason lol also dealerships for some reason especially on breaks and rotors will overcharge the heck out of you! my dealer wanted 700 USD to replace just the front breaks and rotors when you can buy the front and back rotors with brake pads for less than 300 bucks and have a trusted mechanic install them all for less.

Rember people... Just because you have a car, that doesn't mean you're not still a slave.

Very nice video, thinking of getting this car, but afraid that in my country (im from latvia) the roads may have too many potholes from place to place for this beautiful car. :P (good luck with Your drives)

There is nothing wrong with auto washing, I’ve done both and would prefer to auto wash any time of the year, yes it’ll scratch your car however that’s what polish shops are for. Also if it’s a black vehicle spending 1+ hours washing just for it to be dirty in 3hrs is not something I’m going to stress about

@Howard & Things. If this hasn’t been mentioned already… the a-pillar has to be pulled and then you can get to the tweeters. The issue is that the hole behind the speaker a-pillar grill is restrictive & needs opening up with a Dremel or sharp blade. It will make sense once the pillars are unclipped & pulled away from the frame. It opens up the whole sound stage & you’ll be amazed :)) Also re. the beats, it’s possible the subwoofer is ‘out of phase’ from the factory. The fiat500USA forum is the place to go for any troubles or questions you may have. The sideskirts get unstuck due to improper lifting techniques at tire shops/workshops etc. They should come with a split rubber puck, like the mini has. Some cars have been delivered from new with peeling sideskirts due to transportation issues. Again, that is covered in detail on the website. Sorry for the lengthy post & good luck. Your review was fair apart from a couple of things. Matt
