I love them both. I owned a 500 for a while but the wife wanted a bigger car so i got the 500x. 49k+ miles now and noproblems at all. Very reliable and so much fun to drive. With Gopedal, lightweight pulley it feels like a mini ferrari.
I have the fiat500 for over four years now and seriously looking at this for the extra room and some extra speed for taking off into fast traffic, 500 is cute as but time for a bit for room! Wish they came with a sunroof though lol
@@lidiawilliams4837 , The 500X is fun to drive but if you really want to make it fast you can buy the "GOPEDAL" from 500 Madness. They are located in California. To make the engine even more peppy I changed the pulley to a lightweight version. You might feel some increased vibrationa at idle but it is very mininal. Now, the new 500x come with the turbo 1.3 engine so all you might need is the GOPEDAL . It takes about 5 minutes to install. My car model is the 500x Trekking Plus with the 2.4 liter engine bought in 2016. This model has a sunroof which I absolutely love.
The fuxk?! Had this *car for a few days, not too long ago, and I didn't know it had TWO gloveboxes! *Had the 4x4, 2l, diesel version and it was fantastic. Great throttle response.
+Firemarioflower There is no such thing as blind Italian fanboy as Fiat didn't cheated. VAG did which makes you blind. Giulia is inspired by Ferrari and Maserati.
+Firemarioflower I understand your rage, you will pay much more for Audi than for Alfa and still drive car which is original like Eiffel tower in China. There are some similarities between Alfa and Ferrari and Maserati but any similarity with Audi is because Audi copied Ferrari solutions.
+Firemarioflower Walter de Silva is chief designer in Audi and he came there from Alfa Romeo. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_de_Silva Air vents, A/C knobs, tail lights...are all taken from Alfa Romeo. Alfa Romeo was also source of inspiration in Seat (hidden rear door hanles...) Vegas is just one of the many tower copies. China made looks good, but it is stupid to compare it with original This is one from Shenzen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eiffel_Tower_replicas#/media/File:Shenzen_077.jpg At the end, it is not a shame to copy from Alfa as it is the best and the most beautiful.
+Firemarioflower His last name is Marchionne and he didn't ruin or kill anything. He actually bought Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge and today these are making the best cars in their history. Because of these investments Alfa and especially Lancia didn't introduce new models as expected. Anyway 500, Ypsilon, MiTo, Giulietta, Ghibli... are the most remarkable vehicles in their segments.
I think that alloy wheels and air cond should be standard in any car , why would I spend a ton of cash for a brand new car that is like a shell on tin wheels ?
Nice review. I've seen several reviews of this car which I'm thinking about buying. The 4x4 Mk1 version though which is important for us. Strangely, the reviews contradict each other about important matters like comfort, space and practicality. I suppose they are subjective judgements so bet to go look and try for ourselves. We presently have a diesel Panda 4x4 and that has served us well with winter tyres in the rural hilltop village where we live with cold icy snowy or wet winters. The Panda is adept at pulling larger cars out of muddy icy involuntary off road excursions and I imagine the 500X would continue that performance but with more space and comfort.
I did not hear of any downsides. That's pretty impressive! Most of the cars that carbuyer is reviewing has downsides.. Ofc this one has to have some issues aswell. But they didn't mention any.
+Undiscovered TH-camr Because it's a 500 and people buy them. A lot like all Minis are retro in about the same way, like the competing Clubman. It just as well could have been styled as a mainline pure modern Fiat and been called something else. They also make the Renegade on the same platform in the same factory. The Renegade looks all Jeepish because it's a Jeep. It's much more retro than Jeeps like the Grand Cherokee or Cherokee, which only have some original Jeep references blended in. You may not like the retro thing, but if you buy it both the Fiat 500X and the Mini Clubman are beautifully styled in that mode inside and out. I don't know if I would buy either but like the 500 it's fun to look at just about every little area inside and out and the overall design is pretty state of the art as well. Actually to me a lot of the super creasy zig zag origami busy style trend of a lot of the latest Japanese design is pretty questionable.
well, this car and the Jeep Renegade share the same platform, but I say the Renegade is absolutely better, in terms of looks and capability and road presence as well, not to mention the Jeep Selec-Terrain 4×4 system with different modes.
@@kiario-sv9sr I just bought one 2017 Lounge fully loaded sunroof leather baby I'm loving it runs like a dream and it's quick to get up unlike a lot of people have been commenting on it turns heads Rosso passione
So this is my favourite of the crossovers and I still don't really like it. Also for the 'Alternative's' the Juke and the Countryman you wouldn't go for them because they are catastrophically ugly. Still don't understand the point of these cars over say a traditional family hatch.
+The Real Emile Taller? Haven't Golf and Focus and Citroen and Renault had extra tall hatch versions out for a while? I guess the similar cars labeled CUV have more ground clearance and can come with AWD. Maybe theoretically a little tougher for AWD lite offroading.
How about the reliability? My sis wanted the 500 and the turd had many problems, the fuel pump was breaking all the time, the auto gear box was eating the fly wheel every 7000 km, the engine was drinking the oil and the final drop was a problem with the breaks (the ABS was failing and the pressure was dropping). Personally if the reliability is bad in a car, I'd rather piss of the style, retro looks and cuteness...
+Alan Jenkinson wtf, what do you expect her to wear its the UK it looks cold. The white shoes are a bit strange but otherwise she is wearing normal clothing.
Wait but why do all these people that buy a Fiat seem to end up saying they're horribly engineered and more or less built to break down? Is this brand of car actually that shitty? And if so can we maybe convince Pres. Trump to ban their importation until the problem is addressed? Sincerely, an American citizen.
A friend of mine has one of these. Says it's been in the garage more than the road and that they totally regret buying it. Someone in my work also got one as a hire car, and, as a passenger, I can say it wasn't very comfortable. To be fair to the 500x, it isn't just it that's crap, it's all these silly wee soft roaders. Ford Ecosport, Honda HRV, Renault Captur, Vauxhall Mokka and so on, they are all rubbish compared with the cars they are based on!
I recently saw the car and jumped in, i didn't see any lack of quality, seriously, it made ma a good impression. I think this is more a women's car, but it's ok
Yea the Fiat fabric in Kragujevac shrunk and people are more resting than they are building cars,and parking lots are full of cars that nobody is buying

cute car,love it,very retro but at the same time modern,great car for a family who wants a lifestar family car.
I like this 500x better than 500l

The most beautiful Carbuyer video ever, thanks to the cinematic color
Fiat is beautifull fashionable car and like all italians u can recognize sport spirit, not like volkswagen and germans bored.
i realize it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new movies online ?
@Bowen Jake i use Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Bowen Jake lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
I rent a 500X for my tip to Italy next month and I come here to check to trunk size.
This video does a great help for me!
great little car fun to drive and very practical , i got the trekking plus its awesome! i think fiat is gettin more serious on cars!
This look is beautiful !
I hope this one makes it to India !! Time for the Fiat to make its mark in the mini SUV segment!!! And a fine short and fantastic review !!!!!
500xabarth would be the go
Great looking car.
Best looking Fiat at the moment. 500X or Mazda CX3 would be my first pick in this class.
No contest for me Mazda. I have a 3 and a CX-9 both amazing
such a beautiful car
I kinda like the way it looks. From here it looks 40% sleek, 40% cute, 20% classic.
i'm happy matt didn't have to review this
Why did Fiat call this the 500 instead of the 600?
MAYBE THEY ARE USING FOLLOWING Measure
S
I'm 6 foot and I must say the back seats were a bit small for me
Love the orange one might be my first car
Did you get it?
I think that alloy wheels and air cond should be standard in any car , why would I spend a ton of cash for a brand new car that is like a shell on tin wheels ?
What is the color of this model? Looks really good.
In Italy it is the "Grigio Arte"
she looks so young in this video!
wish you would state the price of the different models and specs.

@@atomskiMarsic for that money you'd expect a car in that size to have some downsides, but obviously not
StateFarm says the extras are nice to have good for you by getting them... but you ain’t getting no break on your premium...
I remember her from men and motors 😁
Today's regular 500 is retro which is fine. But why is retro 50s style being included in a modern day trend? (the crossover)

Funky car. I like it!
The rear light situation gently reminds me of the Bentley Bentayga.
it sounds loud during the drive?
It's not tho
If the Pope loved and needed this car.. who am I? I want one!
It looks like a fun little car
nazhif1 "little"
Good review .. like the car but not sure I'd actually buy one!
What's the difference between the X and the L?
More space in the back
The 500x is crosspver while the 500l is a mpv
Absolutely beautiful!! And the car is not bad either
dare I say that it looks a little like the Macan ?
Macan was launched one year after Fiat 500x...
Perfetto !

where is rebeca?
Luxurious and unique car
could you maybe do the Jeep renegade
What about common faults?
When will you do the Jeep Renegade?

I'd rather have the Bentayga

Yeah, but you haven't got the $$ for one

Thank you excellent review!
Inr cost ?
Wow jinny is gorgeous only reason I watched the review forget Rachel
I have this car and I love it. I also did a car tour video on my channel
yeah, new Carbuyer! oh... just a Fiat.
Finally an italian car.. And it's beautiful.. Mini Cooper is a joke..
lucadm3 Mini ain't a joke
Mini isnt Italian
ive got one and its 2017 i love it
How did it last? Was it reliable?
House Baelish erm mine is reliable

If it had the quality and consumption from the Panda it had been good.
So this is my favourite of the crossovers and I still don't really like it. Also for the 'Alternative's' the Juke and the Countryman you wouldn't go for them because they are catastrophically ugly. Still don't understand the point of these cars over say a traditional family hatch.

Why is not in India??? 🙁

Yeah sure..
Maybe the problem is your sister's driving style!
Brakes
seems very loud inside...
The more I see the 500x, the more I like it. Slanty eyed Qashqui design Suv's look like youv'e borrowed them from from your Mr's! Hair dresser cars!
no coffee machine? what a deal breaker...
WHAT are you wearing? about to do some decorating??
+Alan Jenkinson wtf, what do you expect her to wear its the UK it looks cold. The white shoes are a bit strange but otherwise she is wearing normal clothing.
+MaZEEZaM the white sneakers are adidas stan smiths. I don't think they're strange, but needs some streetstyle outfit
Whoever stan smith is!
Wait but why do all these people that buy a Fiat seem to end up saying they're horribly engineered and more or less built to break down? Is this brand of car actually that shitty? And if so can we maybe convince Pres. Trump to ban their importation until the problem is addressed?

Will someone buy me one please 🤔💕
Someday your prince will come🤗
Belissimo!!
It looks like mini and bentley and opel mokka had baby
Id take her home, but not the car....
+N813 You know married bitches cheat the most, I know some in my life too is pretty sad ;(
+N813 All the same, she's beautiful

The mini is ugly
How do designers think this is good
+Tapping Things It does look good, it looks amazing to be honest. but i guess everyone has different taste
This or jeep rengande ??
What puts me off is the euro ncap safety rating of 3 stars
Amazing car!!
Quite like the style of this new Fiat
It is called 500 Cross, not 'x'
So how come you get a 500X Cross and cross plus eh

Not a bad vehicle it’s the crappy 9 speed that doesn’t know it’s a transmission
The genre of car is a joke. Give it 5 years, and this little phase will be over and another unnecessary fad will be popular.
It would be better if this car was electric

Matt would have done the review better....
You told us 0 negatives about this car , therefore its not honest review, but paid by company !!!.
Its not a fiat 500 fiat 500s are meant to be small and fun
this car looks like a hippopotamus
Jeep renegade... Off-road kudos... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh dear, hear that (lack of) build quality?

I think this is more a women's car, but it's ok
The manual gear box is shi.... - not said, (why not?).
