Are we being ageist when it comes to the Fiat 500X

The Fiat 500X is going on about nine years now and has recently had an update. But despite the update, it still feels too old when compared to its rivals such as the Volkswagen T-Roc or Mazda CX-30. But are we just being ageist? Look, in a very competitive market, and when it comes to cars, there is no space for good, you have to be great. It's unfortunate for this updated model, but it is just the way things are.

The hoot test is genius. I so concur with it as a review issue. Our Peugeot 2008 has a puny pathetic hoot - I've contemplated asking Peugeot to upgrade it for me. 😄

We have Connor to thank for this great idea!

[@dane458]

These European city cars are designed to look good and hoot to say 'hi' rather than a 'f*k off'...

I just love how retro & fun the Fiat 500 range is 🥰 one or two interior tech upgrades are necessary, although they don’t bother me too much. Every drive is such a fun one in one of these! ❤️‍🔥

[@julietmcguire]

Definitely fun to drive!

[@blacklion8208]

A year later and I've just bought the 500x sport and I can tell you it is fun to drive and I just love the interior and retro exterior look. It is definitely quirky.

Congratulations on 30k subs. You deserve it

The Fiat range is quite old in Europe. The latest model launched in Europe from Fiat is the 500e (not available in SA). The 500x and Tipo/Egea have been available since 2015, the Panda since 2012 and the ICE 500 since 2007. In Brazil on the other hand, their lineup is newer.

At least the dashboard isn't covered with that gastly " Tablets " and the console with piano black.😉

[@juan-paulbotes1107]

I loveeee your videos Juliet!! I also so badly want Fiat to bring the 500E to South Africa

[@julietmcguire]

Thank you Juan-Paul!!!! Let's hold thumbs

[@danielsteyn7464]

Not a bad car, pricey now and a bit "older" eventhough it's updated. But If I was in the market for this, I would have preferred the previous 1.6 petrol, manual.

[@garethdekock7391]

Based on a jeep renegade. Both made in the same factory. Same engine and gearbox too... Not sure I'd spend that kind of money on a brand with a little support base left in this country.

Jules, ever thought of stand up|? Love your rants, so South African XD

Whats it like on fuel mine is the 1.6 diesel and its really good 😊

[@monarch7743]

Does it have good fuel consumption, I've been considering a 500x but Im afraid of the costs of owning one

[@simeonselmon8318]

@@monarch7743 it's very good it's best on long runs but good

[@airdrophunter2745]

How much is that in US dollars?

I can see the new Ora Cat competing with this although it is electric 🤔

The indicator and hooter sounds alone makes it a NO for me

Shes trying to be like supercarblondie😂😂

[@julietmcguire]

Unlikely, don't you think? Seeing as Supercar Blondie only does supercars and I have been doing this for 15 years. But I am flippen honoured to even be used in the same sentence as her, so thanks!

[@ronaldvandermerwe4957]

Did you mention supercarblondie 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@mprinsgsxr]

@@julietmcguire Rubbish she should be happy to be mentioned on your channel. She is way to false and will never honestly review and critique any car :-)
