During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth educational videos of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of KZbin!

Despite hearing only negative things about Fiat I can't help from wanting this car. It's just pure style.

[@canto_v12]

+allo Fiats of today are reasonably reliable. Don't expect Corolla-levels of bulletproof, but they are not the roadkill they used to be.

[@honestbutugly]

has only had my treking plus 3 months , traded off my 500 pop for it. loved the tiny pop,never missed a snow day in that car, just wanted one that had a warrantee expect some fun snow days in this one

[@bigteddy66]

@@canto_v12 corollas are tin boxes. And not that reliable

[@grantmills4184]

big teddy I disagree respectfully; however I respect your opinion. For it is the conflict of opinions that drive us further as a society, the challenge helps us improve and rethink ideas that hinder us. The beauty and art of debating

[@christianmanuel1839]

I don't know why, but this car gave me a smile on my face too.

[@stylestar07]

I recently drove one of these as a weekend rental and it is very fast. I drove the automatic and it has a "sport" mode on a center console dial, and we you select this mode it shifts like a manual and changes gears really fast at take off. I think this will be my next automobile purchase, I am single and don't need a huge SUV anymore, but after driving an SUV for years, I don't think I want to go back to a car. it is the right height and size for me.

[@Nagstrr23]

FIAT has done big steps in quality and reliability since 2010. I remember my brothers first own car was a 2005 Fiat Punto which was a collection of failures and plastic. Would be nice, if they would bring the Fiat Coupe to life again.

[@hashemhashem381]

lol same my brother had the 2005 fiat Punto and it was a piece of crap......do you know what FIAT stand for "Fix It Again Tomorrow" hahahahahahahaha

[@rizkyp]

+Hashem Hashem lol didn't know that.

[@Nagstrr23]

+Hashem Hashem in germany we said "Fehler in allen Teilen" wich means failures in all parts^^

[@snajperSLO]

Too much plastic too much electronics. We still have one from 2001 with 0 problems on electronics or anything. But the first year it had too many bugs with everything electronic related.

[@masongarcia8203]

+Nagstrr23 they are bringing back the fiat 124

[@100RentalCars]

I really appreciate how much information you give on this car. Great review.

[@Ham1001dy]

That looks better than a Mini Cooper!

[@duranamo4297]

I like how you are getting more personal in your reviews, you now express your opinion and you had your wife in this! Luv ur vids :D

[@CarCommercialsofthePast]

Now that's a nice looking 500X. Thanks for the review Kyle!

[@abedekok322]

My personal favorite crossover (apart from the Porsche Macan Turbo) quirky, sporty, and reliable; all things I look for in the compact crossover market

[@coolguy2873]

1:31, I love that chime sound.

[@davis6123]

I thought the same, it’s so unique.

[@Jorge-Tamacas]

It's a shame that Fiat are not available in my country. I think it's a good option as a daily car. Excellent video as usual, Kyle!

[@peterlawson777]

I've got one and, although I've never been a fiat fan, I love it. Great drive, very comfortable and mine has all the gadgets, including an excellent stereo system. Highly recommended and better that the Jeep Renegade.

[@divaashby]

+Peter Lawson Just bough mine too - after having a Fiat 500 Sport - huge difference! Totally in love with this vehicle!

[@XQoozMii]

Saab, I'd like to see metric measurements shown when you talk about engine power and capacity etc. it makes it easier for us non-US peeps to convert it. keep up the good work.

[@ryanenstad8928]

So cool to have Christal I'm the review!! You gotta do more with her in them!! Great review Kyle!!

[@heidisoileau531]

bought this car last month a and I love it!

[@marieanne1989]

How did you find it 5years down the line

[@ihuss007]

Love that you include the price in the start of the video now, keep up the great work as always.

[@bleakaux9289]

Just test drove this vehicle after my Beetle went wrong. That heated steering wheel is a gift from God here in Chicago.

[@ConnecticutDashcam]

Great review! Cool having Christal along for the ride for some different perspective

[@mathiasvdk]

Are you planning on reviewing the XC90 anytime soon? Love your reviews, been subbed for years!

[@saabkyle04]

+Mathias Van de Kerckhove I'm eagerly awaiting for a press vehicle to arrive, I'll keep you all posted! Thanks!! :)

[@TheGreatLoco]

Nice inexpensive SUV, much better styling then the Renegade. Fiat is doing fine with their 500 line-up in NA.

[@canto_v12]

The 500L is much roomier, but style-conscious shoppers should find no problem with the 500X's stylish trendy look.

[@kensg]

Oh man..I wanted to get my checkbook out and head to a Fiat dealer :) Great review love the look of the inside and out.. Great work,Thank you. Oh which model was this and are those wheels standard..thank in advance.

[@robbiehernandez8019]

I'm looking for a new small CUV and I might consider this the new HRV or the new Mazda CX3. This is leading though.

[@heidisoileau531]

I bought mine about a month ago and love it!

[@najkinsta]

Kyle you read my mind! I'm thinking about buying this car!!

[@kma198199]

This car is getting horrible reliability ratings. Check it out.

[@Thekidsinafrica14]

+kma198199 new dodge in general has horrible reliability

[@tytotheler92]

+NAJKINSTA    We've had no issues with my Dad's 500L. Great car. Check out the X.

[@kma198199]

+tytotheler92 probably because it's new. By 40k miles, people are already having problems.

[@vikk5459]

I've had no problems with the 500C. 35,000 miles without a single problem, but we'll see as time progresses.

[@Pinkelschrubber]

3:22 haha i always thought you had some glasses with a camera, but strapping a gopro to your head is also a nice idea :D

[@ChrisFlegg]

11 days until my 500x offroad is in my possession, its winging its way from Poland to my dealership in the UK as i type!

[@MrBigrudi]

+Chris Flegg I doubt that, 500x is built in Italy :-)

[@ChrisFlegg]

oh balls! i just checked and it's the 500 thats done in Polski!

[@bentshuang9062]

in Australia, the headlights are reflective with H4 globes. I noticed the car in the video is with projector type HL.

[@philipp9481]

Cool car, great video! Keep it up!

[@drd6416]

Im sure that a lot of you are thinking. "looks like bits of a mini escaped" Youd be right, the first incarnation of the new 500 was designed by the same guy. Awesome reviews as always, bit im out in terms of the car

[@sosharpdevy99]

I love this car.....

[@xheneteshabani4243]

Gotta love your jeep chime

[@steevemccloud5841]

Love the vids. Just a suggestion, you should only do the exhaust clip once. there is no need to do it twice. Maybe make the first one a little longer but Two aren't needed.

[@dylanchoo9243]

Finally a 2016 review

[@mainesuspect]

Great review and a great car. I just bought it.

[@Txtzraven]

Sherry Campbell id like to see it reach 100k miles or more without any break downs haha

[@niteryder9974]

I have a 2018 Trekking and love it :)

[@qam6264]

Great review kyle , You're the best.

[@stevensmith8454]

Excellent review.

[@thatcruzerguy2294]

Hey dude I saw you out and about today in your charger. You live pretty close to me. That was cool

[@saabkyle04]

+ThatCruzerGuy That's awesome man! Maybe I'll see you around sometime!

[@diegoh585]

I like it! More than the 500c! Great video, like always!

[@Nexccelerator]

Excellent review Kyle! - Michael

[@SuperPcgamesplayer]

I love those wheels. They look really nice on this car!

[@tim2kz]

I've got one of those, except mine is the City-version. Great little car (and the steering wheel is the same as the one in the Dodge Charger RT lol)

[@TheBobobobob123]

the chime reminds me of smells like teen spirit hahaha

[@dotcomGone]

The orange looks really good!

[@nobodysunderdog]

What are your impressions of Audi products, especially the A3,A4,S4,A6, and A7? I prefer the Audi line over BMW and Mercs. Thanks.

[@cutesmolandadorableflowerpot]

Jeep renegade also has that chime

[@EternalyRandom]

I hate the trend of an electronic parking brake, and the key-less push button start. More expensive things to go wrong.

[@bokclytzii5538]

Hey Kyle I'm just wondering is that the only trim for the 500x

[@swsephy]

Hate the car but awesome review as usual, Kyle.

[@vikk5459]

Why do you hate the car?

[@swsephy]

Viktor Freesmeier Hate might be too much. I don't actually hate it; I'm just not fond of it at all. I think it's very ugly.

[@Pinkelschrubber]

+swSephy | PC Gaming & Cars well still better than the nissan juke

[@vikk5459]

Eh. Fiat cars are ugly to some, beautiful to others. I have a 500C and I've gotten comments from "what a gorgeous car" to "look at that ugly thing". It's all opinion.

[@swsephy]

Pinkelschrubber No arguments there, lol.

[@onefacex8375]

Hey kyle! Can u do a pontiac aztek please! +THANK U FOR UR HARD WORK(:

[@speedfiend925]

As I am watching this and SaabKyle04 talks about the glove box at 13:30 and then mentions the upper portion being chilled he next pans over to the dashboard area as he is getting in to rev the engine and what channel is he tuned to? Why Chill of course! Guess I am easily amused. :D

[@saabkyle04]

+victor bozzo Hahaha :)

[@seyosabovic472]

Kyle when are we getting honda pilot elite 2016? great work!

[@kma198199]

that sounds like an oxymoron.

[@Wh9499]

It’s the renegade sister. FCA makes horrible cars but I can’t help but love this car

[@senseihEnRY16]

a nice looking crossover, you should review the Mazda CX 3, it's a very interesting crossover

[@abdullahanwaar7389]

hey kyle how are you? can you do a little favour by reviewing the upcoming toyota landcruiser 200.. lots of love. take care

[@Domthebomb717]

Do the 2016 Kia Sorento SX-L. The 2016 model changed from 2015. And it has a all new 2.0L Turbocharged 4 cylinder.

[@Cauldron_Music_X]

you and regular car reviews should collaborate

[@saabkyle04]

+Askyourmotherthat They just uploaded our Thunderbird this morning!

[@brigganthewolf1461]

[@asrockrpg]

[@rizkyp]

Is it a regulation to have that ding ding ding sound after starting an engine? Never heard that sound on any cars in my country.

[@jett5084]

It's a nice little car

[@david821103]

there is only me feel the engine sounds so charming ???

[@bokclytzii5538]

+Saabkyle04 you should do a in depth look at a 2016 Ford Mustang gt350 and 350r comparison

[@isaacenmanuel28]

+Saabkyle04 do a review the new Scion iM please!

[@Mahirkayani]

am i the only one who thinks that this car's features and other things looks like DODGE cars... And hey Kyle please do a video on the New Mazda 6 2016

[@saabkyle04]

+Mahir Kayani Yes, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the company now, so they do share components. All the better since Chrysler has some excellent tech at the moment.

[@MallocFree90]

+Mahir Kayani Dodge is owned by fiat

[@lewissmith185]

[@mustafadarwish4561]

same price for the nissan juke or it's more expensive ?

[@Vettejocke]

I'm liking those new Fiats, but I wonder how they are in terms of quality & long-term reliability?

[@tentifr]

Futbol & Partidos Plus they are reliable. Trust me they are.

[@StevenSVT]

+1 for an Abarth version

[@Goldenrod636]

So are they rebadged versions of each other like the Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler Concorde?

[@TehOcst]

The closest thing to this in the same family would be the jeep renegade, which uses the same engine(s) and chassis. :)

[@Sevan_UP]

It’s just a great looking suv! At least much better than the 500l

[@stephane7484]

great review

[@diegoc2631]

SAABKYLE04 DO 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD OR 2012 PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU HAD NOT DID THE 2008 OR 2012 NISSAN ROGUE

[@DerpEye]

I still dont get why americans need such big engines. I mean, their speed limits are way more strict than that in most EU countries... The most powerful engine you get in Italy is the 1.4l turbo multiair @ 170hp. Comparable power, still the 2.4l fuel economy is (american site) 12,8l /100km (city).....holy sh*t!!! That's 'super car' territory here in my neck of the woods. Meanwhile the 1.4turbo is 8,4l /100km. And it's still high by our standards. The most sold engine is the 1.6l 120hp multijet diesel, or the 1.4 140hp petrol.

[@emeryclarkscarsanimatronic6999]

I will let you do a in-depth tour of my 1992 GMC Sierra 2500 Extended Cab if you like

[@emeryclarkscarsanimatronic6999]

Also a test drive

[@gg_vard]

In Europe it has a turbocharged multiair engine 1.4 liters and 170hp

[@kma198199]

If I eat too much Mexican food, I myself can claim a "turbocharged, multi-air" reaction.

[@saabkyle04]

+Γιώργος Greek We also have that engine, but it's only on the base model sadly.

[@Gonza95]

pope francis car? or it was a 500L right?

[@kma198199]

....it was the L.

[@Gonza95]

kma198199 thx, i think that he is the first pope to use normal cars in the countries that he visited, not like other popes who travel in 100.000 usd MB or bwm

[@Luckyjo21]

+Liam Campbell not a BIG difference.. looks alike.

[@Gonza95]

***** Yes the difference is just a little black plastic and fake aluminium details, here in argentina the industry add two black plastic features and it call the new car add the "adventure" version off any car, for more money of course.

[@davudburaz2519]

+Saabkyle04 Could you maybe do an In-Depth Look in a Chevy Impala 1964?And how old are you? :D

[@kma198199]

Kyle is 27 I believe. In their recent Update video, his wife mentions their age when someone was asking if they plan on having kids.

[@davudburaz2519]

kma198199 Thank you :)
