I purchased a pre owned 500 X that looks just like this a year ago. It had 86,000 miles on it and ran great. I now have 94,000 miles and still runs great. It has a 2.5 L engine and 9 speed automatic. Really like the car and hope it lasts another 90,000 miles. 👍

I just bought the Fiat 500x Easy and love it. This is my 6th Fiat and I have NEVER had any problem with any of them. None have not started and none have been in the shop other than for service or tyre changes.

This car is an absolute blast to drive and I've had no problems so far. Handling, steering are surprisingly good for a crossover, and engine performance is very good, especially in Sport mode. I was an early adopter, having bought a 500x Lounge AWD at the beginning of October. It now has 15,000 miles of highway, urban, and "rural" driving in Arizona, where the extra ground clearance of the 500x and AWD traction mode are useful surprisingly often. External lights are really good and add to the "safe" feeling of the vehicle, with outstanding side sweep from the headlights to catch animals approaching the road. As a matter of personal taste, I find the Euro styling -- especially inside -- far more exhilarating, without being gimmicky, than what's offered by Japanese automakers. The sunroof just adds to that feeling. The perforated leather seats keep sweat to a minimum, unlike the unbreathable solid leather offered by many other makes. Our long-term fuel efficiency is in the high 20's, and it goes above 30 when driving a straight road at 65. The Nav/technology is excellent and intuitive (the best system I've used when comparing several brands), and I like the fact that it works exactly like in my Grand Cherokee, although the screen has a smaller footprint for the smaller vehicle. The sound quality from the radio included with the nav package (not the expensive Beats upgrade) is surprisingly good, with no lack of base (as I can hear when my daughter is still a few hundred feet from home). Trunk space is indeed limited but that was obviously a tradeoff for the extra knee room in the back seats. My only complaint so far is that it would be nice for them to include 2 lengthwise running roof bars for those who would like to create a roof-rack by adding cross-members as on my Jeep. In summary: So far, so good!

Hey Michael I was reading your comment and I just bought a 500X trekking plus because i like the exterior and interior design as you mention, i was just wondering hows the material quality on the interior and do you hear any bsr noises on the inside when using it off road? And hows the speed response with the 180hp? Thanks!

My son bought a 500 Abarth over a year ago and it has been flawless in it's performance. The construction quality was VERY good, and it's a blast to drive. My wife and I were so impressed that we went to the Fiat dealership and test drove a 500x, we are picking up our 2017 500x tomorrow. I feel that the past is past as far as Fiat having reliability issues, and I spent some time talking to other owners of the 500x and they all seemed to be happy with theirs overall. Great review, and I'm glad you pointed out both pros AND cons, because now I can keep an eye out for any shifting issues with the 9 speed transmission.

@p.thomas40997 жыл бұрын
As far as i know it is normal for these kind of engines, you dont have to worry about that. Only you have to keep the engine oil level in max or at least in middle. The tickling noise is less with high engine oil level and better much better fuel.

Yeah try using a higher engine oil level. Recommended on the FIATs are premium unleaded. That knocking and clicking must be the standard oil which is the bare minimum fuel it requires.
