The 2020 Fiat 500X Has A Brand New Engine, But How QUICK Is It From 0 To 60? Let's Find Out!

My sister bought a 500x a few months back and when we test drove I was shocked how much fun it was all around just a little fun car it being bright orange helps that also I guess lol

I have a fiat 2016 500x trekking and I’m in USA lol, I get judge by my friends all the time but I love my car. Yes I’ve had some issues like my when my tail light was out it started draining my battery, and I had to get something done with the engine carriage thingy (not a car person at tf all lol) but those have been my only 2 major problems at 80k miles (paid 1.2k to get both issues fixed), Idk I love the car but I hate when issues arise, I don’t know what’s normal or not at 80k miles but I enjoy my car.

[@buildmorefarms1007]

My 2019 500x has been flawless for 2 years and it is EXCELLENT in the heavy snows we have been having in the northeast...avg 29.5 mpg mixed driving for the life of the car.

Always appreciate your reviews Nathan. Especially the ones like this where you tell me whether or not guys our size fit in. Then how comfortable it might be if we wanted to throw our money out the window. lol.

[@charlesbrown9082]

Great review and cool color combo. I own a 2019 500X trekking plus & its been better than my Jeep Renegade I traded. Feels more premium than the Jeep by far too. I don't always drive fast, but when I do (needing to get somewhere quickly) people tend to not be able to keep up. I wonder why so many people talk about reliability nowadays. Fiat isn't at the bottom of the list of companies with reliability issues & more people (some car enthusiast's) tend to bring it up only with Fiat. I've had Mercedes, Ford, Chevy, Volvo, BMW/ Mini, vehicles that gave me more problems than my 2012 Fiat 500C, (I really baby my cars & I buy new). I still own my 2012 now, with my 500X. The mentality of 1970s & 80s Fiat's aren't realistic in 2020. It sucks that not many people look its way because of that, even though you buy a Jeep Renegade, its the same thing lol. Keep up the good work.

I am in many "toy car" groups and it seems the Fiat 500 group is the groups with the most "fun" posts than "how do I fix this" posts. That says a lot.

[@Natethegreat200c]

Nathan, why would you add that reliability joke at the end? Boy oh boy you journalists don’t help fiat none. All we have is a viral person online literally taking a shit on the fiat brand , and no one does anything but joke about they’re reliably. Why don’t you guys do a video on what customers think about fiat and start changing people minds ? (Example www.truecar.com/fiat/500x/reviews/?page=3&per_page=20 ) You guys could go to this site and simply read people’s reviews and change the minds of idiots who listen to a drunken idiot waving his hands and face around saying how bad fiats are, or really anything but a Toyota!

I miss my 500 abarth. All those bashing fiat, gotta remember the older multi air engines have been in Europe for years and have been proven to be reliable.

Stop being such a throw away culture...

[@iamn360]

We never saw any reliability here in the states! Those cars are junk. Why keep junk? It's not throw away culture, it's fix it again Tony

[@EcBuddy123]

@@iamn360 yeah we never saw it because again, the cars were driving into the ground without proper maintnance. Not saying the cars don't have issues, but there's plenty of people in the states that have high mileage abarths and 500s. You also act like Chrysler was extremely reliable in the first place... Also cars that many drive into the ground from lack of maintnance and as soon as it gives any small issue, they just get rid of it. It is throw away culture, no one cares for their investment (if you need a car to get to work a car is an investment) and just trade it in after a year or two to either get the newer model or because of some small issue. At least Tony can fix the car correctly and get it back on the road for himself.
