#Fiat #500X #Crossover - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
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
yeah I am thinking about getting one of these. I bet adding an exhust would really make it special.
Such angry comments. If you don't like it don't buy it. Geez.
Who are the people that buy this? Is this for mostly Europe market?
@@NoNegotiations i bought a 2019 Fiat 500X trekking plus AWD
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.
Mine has the 500 Madness Gopedal and lightweight flywheel installed. Drives like a mini Ferrari ! Exciting and a lot of fun to drive.
Bought it brand new in 2016. Now has 51000 miles with zero problems.
Does the go pedal actually make a difference?
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.
I own one and it is really fun and good so far! Seems quicker than his test but i am under 200 lbs!
I’m 110 lmao it goes fast mine came with start stop I don’t know if it’s standard but I get great mpg and can rlly get going when I want to it’s no set but it define rly fun to drive and pass people with
@@corymates7252 yes it is quick for a little SUV....and yes I have stop start and remote start..both standard. Enjoy!!
buildmorefarms100 same I got the tracking was trim but leather interior bucket seats dual pane sunroof leather wrapped steering wheel weather mats start stop remote start premium audio full nav and a few more things
@@corymates7252 Wow you went all out!!! I got the base model...no leather or sunroof!
buildmorefarms100 not all out but I wanted something I could live with for several years
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.
I have had some fiats in the past: 500x, punto, línea and tipo. Pretty well built. I mean, no plastic sounds or things broken
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.
Good to see you, Nathan! I hope you and the fam are well!
This review is exactly what I needed. I've wanted one since I saw it. So cute and looks fun. I have a Jeep Renegade now and I was looking for an upgrade. Not too thrilled about my Renegade but it does the job for now.
I love my 2019 500x! I want to get another one for my gf! It is so good in snow! It is cuter than all the look alike crossovers and so far totally reliable for 2 years!
i found this video trying to find what the car sounds like and then i liked the channel so much i just subbed never even heard of the channel before
And all I could think of throughout the video was "hey, it looks like Nathan's losing weight!" Good job, bro, and good job with the review.
You’re the only reviewer that complained about the materials everyone else said they’re high quality🤔
Thanks as always Nathan. It seemed as tho the 9-speed shifted well in this model. Is it truly okay now? Regards.
Nathan and this car match 100%
Lol. I think we have the same exact pair of sun glasses 🕶
I like this series. TFL should name it “Large Man, Small Cars”.
Can some tell me what an early 50 maybe model fiat hard top convertible 3 speed worth
Ive said it 1000 times over, they are not "head rests", they are head restraints. A safety device to prevent whiplash, not a place to rest your head......
Morning Nathan...nice car..🌟🌟🌟
4.20 whys the lcd screen all blurry?
I think you're just seeing the glare due to the camera angle.
You and Andre need to back to doing videos together. You guys have great chemistry.
The 1.3l with 150hp, 6 speed DCT and FWD is the sweet spot in the range. But I guess it isn't available in USA 🤷♂️
Interesting vid Nathan👍one question does Jeep Renegade outperform 500X as better sibling?
I'll take a 500 X
Cool car
The Mazda you mention does nothing better measurably or otherwise, friend of mine has one and has endless problems. 500x is the better car.
It looks good to me too, like this bubble more then Beetle , i would take this oval shape over Renegade, but obviously box is more space efficient and Renegade awd has extra center locker to force it stuck on and still disconnect in binding situations, works better then Crosstrek's oil clutch
Another car that probably no owner will still have four years after the purchase.
th-cam.com/video/j_VaG3baQjY/w-d-xo.html 8
bought mine on 2015 and i still have it. it has over 96k and it hasn't giving me any problems and I'm not thinking of replacing it anytime soon!
I had 5 Fiat Strada's with 200k miles plus, each one. Now i have a Toro (RAM 1000). 20 years around this brand, not a single problem and reliable/cheap af
Only 26 MPG combined !! A small car like that should get a lot better than that .
I have this SUV and am getting 30.6 mpg average.
A Honda Civic gets 40+ mpgs, is quicker, and won't keep you in repair shops
My 13 Tacoma is not that far away. And it is a decent pickup truck at that.
Really Fiat 500 X is Good
At least FIAT got the shift - / + in the right position that is a+ in a sport vehicle, most reviewers miss it all the time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. When you said how it does in the long term. You already know the answer.
7:45 is the 0-60
My sister got one with 2.0 turbo diesel 4x4 6 speed manual in Italy. It’s fun to drive. Lots of torque
I just traded in my 2022 Tesla model Y for a 2020 Fiat 500 X🇮🇹👍🏽Carvana made me a offer i couldn’t refuse 😂🇮🇹👍🏽
in Germany we say " Fehler in allen Teilen " Fail in all Parts = FIAT ! Greets from a US CAR Loving Bavarian 😎
haha jokes like that to so many brands everywhere, Ford has some good ones, Toyota too, TRD toyota racing decoration, referring to models like Avalon
@@tallll70 got one more " F or I talians A wesome T echnic = FIAT 😎
What about BMW and MB...those are expensive trash here. Deutsche Scheisse💩💩🤣🇨🇦🍻🍺
In Germany ha ha. That's rich you produce vw!!! What could possibly be worse? BMW?
@@bigteddy66 ...Volks Wagen lost his way long time a go , the hole Industry as well , made in Germany
means not made by Germans , not any more ....Quality Standarts are not common anymore , Cars have to brake soon , to buy new once ! where i was young , a 10 year old Merc was even driven in 😎
today it is a old Car , ready for problems...
If she is Fun Than I definitely go for *FIAT 500 X*
Had the first year jeep renegade.. 6 speed manual with that little turbo in it and it was fun car to have. The wife had to have another wrangler lol
The MSRP is laughable. You can get a top of the line Mazda CX-30 (Premium Package AWD) with literally EVERY single accessory for MSRP $34,470.
Or a new V6 Camaro and a new V8 Hemi
that is hard to sell
I got one new for 21k....learn to negotiate Matthew.
@@buildmorefarms1007 very nice and it is typical buying waaay bellow msrp from fca
Idk what it is bc they’re not something I’d usually like but these 500x cars are f****** sick
This 500x is at least 2 seconds quicker than the Honda HRV..that thing is so slow!
Well in Europe still exists the FIAT 595 Abarth (the car you know as Fiat 500 Abarth) ! 10.7" in 0-60mph ; How much heavier is this car compared to the European version; The gearbox also seems to be worst in the US version.
Why do I find cars that have unreliable past very nice.
One of my former coworker...his wife had one....needed a new engine at 1 week of age. He told me in 3 years he had warranty papers 3 inches thick from warranty work. No Toyota can do that.
Last sentence : do you want a bet.
177 hp not 170.
Show me a Fiat that has 100,000 miles or more on it’s odometer and hasn’t had any need for anything beyond regular maintenance and I’ll pay attention. Until then, sorry, I’m skeptical about the longevity of this car.
th-cam.com/video/ZV3mLpm6POg/w-d-xo.html
This car has a fiat diesel engine. Here in Europe fiat’s diesel are known for their reliability. In my family we got 2 Alfa and 2 fiat, all with Diesel engine, non of them gave us mechanical problems
Piersandro Mannino The Fiat in the video has a gasoline engine. Fiat doesn’t sell any cars with diesel engines in the US.
th-cam.com/video/j_VaG3baQjY/w-d-xo.html not 100k mikes but 79 with 8 years !
Michael Hasenstab ok you right ! but I can tell you that here in Italy in family we got 2 fiat and 2 Alfa in house, none of them gave us mechanical problems. And I had in USA for little over 3 years a renegade with the 1.4 turbo ( fiat engine ) and never got an issue with it. I drove it for about 50k miles when my lease expired. Probably they are not like a Toyota as reliability, but they are not even that junk that Americans knows fiat for.
Piersandro Mannino How is he right ?
zipppppyyyyy.....
Don’t know if it’s a fiat problem but it shakes like a damn washer machine when sitting at red light .
Its scared
I'll take a BOXY Renegade, thank you. 👌🏻😎
@Jonathan Losito if you have that kind of dough, sure, swing for the gates ! Enjoy one of life's finest thing, a sweet ride. 👍🏻
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! HELP THE FIAT BRAND.
totally agree, i would guess people doing that have very little or no experience with them and no one knows how newer built will prove it self
tallll70 you notice they still didn’t write back? They are only interested in making money off videos of fiats, not actually helping the brand. I’ve been watching this channel for over 6 years and thought they would have been made a “truth about fiat “ video. But let Toyota fail ... oh lord would everyone be on that bandwagon. I wish they would read this comment and make the video. I really really do.
@@Natethegreat200c I kind of understand tfl not writting back to argumentative comments, yk, keeping it polite and out of trouble
tallll70 they wrote back to plenty before. I’m not trying to come off rude, but when he knows about the poor sales , and false rep, he jokes about it and continues the lying trend. It’s not right.
When you said tiny I thought you were going to say their 2 cylinder engine. That is not really tiny. Renault has a 0.9 litre 3 cylinder turbo and Fiat a 2 cylinder multiair engine.
I don't want any engine with an attachment (turbo) that is going to be spinning at 230,000 rpm. Regardless of manufacturer.
I'd take the jeep over this.
Look at that endless money pit
🤣🤣 yeah bring more wallet
Really? Doesnt look German to me
It kind of sucks to be Fiat. Everyone who owns a Fiat would love if there were less cheap parts in the vehicle, but Fiat doesn't sell enough vehicles in the US to even waste money on quality components. I own a 2018 Fiat 500x Urbana edition btw.
It’s a Fiat
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. I feel with the us marker everyone just wants the big car, drive like crap, and always skimp on maintnance. I've seen so many newer model cars with panel damages and trashed interiors. Stop being such a throw away culture...
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
@@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.
If you do regular maintenance on anything it will last a long time without major repairs , I have a 01 ram quad cab 5.2 and a 02 ram quad cab 4.7 , both running good no problems and my moms 2014 Jeep Patriot has one of those fiat motors a 2.0 4 cylinder and it hasn’t had any issues
How many of those in the comments have actually owned or even driven a Fiat?
@@wilmarbarrick3194 In Italy average age of cars is 11.3 years (14 years for gasoline ones and 9 years and 8 months for diesel ones). 16,7% have more than 20 years.
They still sell that pile of junk in the United States?
Agreed. For the life of me I can’t understand how these little cars sell. Or don’t sell is probably more accurate. This, Mini Cooper, and other tiny shit boxes days are numbered
I thought Fiat pulled out already too.
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 people in USA love tiny SUVs. Makes them feel like they're higher up and able to tackle snow, along with the rear hatch. They don't care about quality. Just looking for better mpg than a real SUV
It’s actually a nice car.
yet here you are watching it! LOL!
New engine, same crap car company
Not crap at all. Had many no major problems at all.
I wouldn't give you 2 cents for a fiat. You can by 6 tata cars for the price of that oversized junk.
Are you actually arguing that Tata builds a better car??? 😂
@@jnuss2012 Nope I'm just saying you could pay less and dispose of the same crap.
6 really? You would still have to get a taxi 😂🤣😂🤣
@@anthonysourdiff1835 I still haven't stopped laughing. Tell us another. 😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅
Fiat failed many times in US and it will continue to fail lol
The same as GM in Europe. They try and they try but it never works.
Kristofer Olsson GM makes shitty cars anyway except some trucks! People in US like trucks! And Europe likes small cars because your streets are narrow! Only Japanese cars are really reliable here lol
FIAT fails world wide
@@mikefoehr235 funny that, been on the go a long time, give Chrysler a lift eh
I've never seen so much plastic on an engine.... that crap would melt completely in 3 years 🤮
I'm surprised that fix it again Tony is still here.. Fiat and Chrysler need to just die already lol
