As a owner of the 2014 Fiat 500L, I would have to say that I am extremely impressed with the value one gets with this vehicle. Great gas mileage, comfortable ride, and massive interior space. This is the second Fiat that I own, first is a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport. There is a marked improvement over the 500 sport especially in the dual clutch transmission. the 2014 is much smoother than that of the 2012. Don't believe the transmission concerns - It is not an automatic transmission like in American Vehicles. It is a European system that gives the drive the ease of automatic but the mileage of a manual. I have never experienced an issue with either model, mechanically sound cars (54000 on the 500 and 15000 in the 500L.)

Pros

Fuel Economy: 29 in the city and 34 highway
Value: More vehicle than one would expect. Outstanding handling and pickup when needed, Turbo charged that makes trips over the mountains a breeze. If you want an Abarth but need more room, this is the car. The engine is the same as the Abarth but has more horsepower and torque.
Interior Space: Room for 5 inside plus a trunk that holds 4 suitcases.

It’s a great car as far as safety, visibility, and price are concerned. If someone is looking for a lot of room and a lot visibility without a high price, it’s a good choice. Would be a perfect starte...

It’s a great car as far as safety, visibility, and price are concerned. If someone is looking for a lot of room and a lot visibility without a high price, it’s a good choice. Would be a perfect starter car for a young driver. But it doesn’t drive consistently well.

Pros

Visibility: Huge windows with extra side windows for increased visibility. Rectangular body design decreases blind spots.
Interior Space: There’s plenty of leg and head room for front and back passengers
Seat Comfort: Seats are extremely comfortable with adjustable lumbar support

Cons

Ride and Handling: The acceleration is not consistent. Sometimes a push on the gas pedal sends it flying into high rpms, other times it jolts, other times it barely moves
Cost to Maintain: It’s a fiat. Expect really high insurance rates. Get a repair plan or face astronomical costs in parts

I am extremely impressed at this cars economical gas mileage, not a bad vehicle considering it's engine is so small. Perfect for running around town and taking care of business! I wouldn't recommend taking it on long trips!

Pros

Safety: my insurance rates went down because of the safety rating!
Reliability: Seems like a very clean small compact engine.
Fuel Economy: Cheap to fill and great gas milage
