I owned a Fiat Punto Tjet coupe for 8 years, no issues at all, very reliable, and traded it in for a Fiat 500 Sports recently. Glad to see your 500 was very reliable.

After coming back from my weekly drive today, I noticed the odometer reading was 16,880. I purchased my Fiat 500 Pop brand new in 2013. Today Is July 14th, 2021. It is metallic black and very shiny. I would not consider selling it. I've seen your videos before and I have to say: that gray Fiat 500 with the black sidings was a real looker!

Thanks for your videos! I bought a 2013 500 Turbo with 88K on it in Oct.2018.The car is a hoot with the 5 speed,has been fairly reliable (drivers window regulator broke last year and cost me $245; pass. outside door handle hinge broke this year and waiting for a warm day to replace it myself.)All in all I'm happy with it, knowing it is no Toyota, but way more fun to drive! I should tell you I did an oil change,plugs and filters when I bought it.

Amazing reveiws.. sad its gone tho.. gdluck with the new cars.. you should do the same style review videos for them as well.. I would love to see the reliability reports of the Porsche and Maserati and Audi.. the only channels that do something like that are Hoovies garage but he gets them once they have been beat up and neglected. Try to keep us updated with these and the work they need etc just like the 500.. thanks again.. gdluck

My wife still drives her 2015, close to 50K miles, zero problems thus far although some of interior plastics have become a bit rattly, probably because of the relatively cheap build quality of these cars but can't complain too much for the price.

Nice video. Not for a hot climate unless people have a garage during day. I've had several plastic items break in Florida with my 2013, and all of the exterior black trim break apart. Both window regs have been replaced b/c plastic broke. I only have 26K miles b/c I work from home. I'm just hoping no plastic engine parts break. It is a fantastic car to drive.

We still have our2012 Fiat and its a Pop 500 Black with the red and white interior. I thought it was a cool looking little car and at the time my wife was driving my Magnum AWD which was not fuel efficient., Its been in the drive way for and the garage for the last 3.5 years. We only have 50k on the car and i wish i can say ours was as reliable as yours. At 18000 the manual trans had a interior bolt back out that is not accessible which basically blew it up. It was replaced and then at 22000 the Pressure plate failed and not only destroyed the clutch, the trans failed again and was replaced. The hub caps lol were always missing after a long trip (LOL) funny thing is i found one on the side of the road and (1) in a parking lot one time and put them on my car till they all were missing. The window track broke which broke the electric motor and last but not least the car always had a Check Engine light that the dealer would clear. After a few miles it would come back but It never threw a code that was frustrating. We are in the process of buying motorhome and figured we would keep it for a tow vehicle if we needed one. My truck and the 300 are to big to tow around so we have kept Luigi all tis time. Thank you for your video though and glad yours was reliable and was a good car for you.

Sorry you let it go we are planning to keep ours until it dies. We love the little guy, haven't had a problem with it except for the same plastic clip, I bought a couple fro the dealer replaced one kept the other as a spare. I hope your wallet can take the repair bills in the Audi, the Germans are pretty proud of the spare parts. I enjoy my subscription, but I also have to let you go, my other car is a Subaru legacy, it has been good, it has been nice so pull down your pants and slide on the ice. Good bye.😁

Best thing you done was sell it, I must bought a lemon, so many issues with it from the door handles failing to transmission cable snapping, if you wash the car you can't open the hatch for awhile because water get inside the attena housing affecting the circuits so you have to do this Fiat dance to get it to open, check the forums out because I'm not the only one having issues. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR!!!!!!! Oh, power windows went out too ;)
