I have just bought a brand new black Fiat 500X Firefly. It's beautiful and I have the front grill painted with the Tri colour. Have been driving Fiat for the past twenty years and they are great.
I'm italian (Rome) and here in Italy this car is one of Fiat's best-selling models. Excellent choice for your review and congratulations for the channel 👍🏻
Go kart is exactly what I think of the way it drives. After driving a Ford Escape for 10 yrs I find I'm turning way to much in the Fiat, ride is firm but not harsh. You don't feel bumps it dips and dives very different. Everything feels firm and solid. I get great gas mileage combined mid 30's I have 2.4
@Knight Alderman When I said handles like a go cart did not mean it in a bad way. It is quick and very responsive. We own a sports car and enjoyed driving it but since we bought the Fiat found not driving it very much anymore. In short very fun to drive. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I just bought a 2021 and listed for 30,000 and bought it for $25,000 it's my six fiata my first was in 2011 and I traded the 2018 Fiat 500x that I just drove to Texas and back from Chicago no problem feel solid and planted at any speed. The turbo and the 19-inch rims give plenty of fun and in the rain or snow no problems about every 3 years I get a new one and I love it and my wife loves it too thanks 🧔
First time watching your review. Awesome job with info & driving impressions. We own a 2019 500X Trekking Plus & love it. I wanted something different & not another box on wheels, but something that has character. To those downplaying this cuv, underneath the sheet metal is a Jeep Renegade. Needless to say, it won't be hard to find parts. Fiat isn't going anywhere soon Just to invested in Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram. Keep up the great work sir, you have yourself a new subscriber.
I have 2019 500X trekking plus and a 2020 500L and just purchased a 2020 500X sport with $5,000 off the list price and I love all 3 cars and have no regrets what’s so ever . The fun factor is a A + and these cars put a smile on my face every time I drive it
My wife drove trouble free for 8 years a 500c. Bought 5 months ago a 500X Sport. The best choice she could make. Esthetically ages ahead US cars. A Audi A6 (last generation) driver from Belgium
I purchased a new 2018 Fiat 500 turbo a few years back. I've had nothing but issues. Currently burns oil like crazy and dealership won't help even though it's still under warranty. They just force me to change the oil every 2 months. Really sucks cause the car doesn't even have 20k miles.
The Sport trim with optional 19" wheels and black roof definitely spruces this vehicle up. To those that state you can get 19 mpg with a Durango in city driving... Well, I can squeeze out 12.4 mpg in town with my 3.6 Grand Cherokee. Yet I do get 27 mpg reliability highway driving. It's funny, I can generally surpass the EPA ratings for highway on vehicles. But NEVER can meet their city ratings. 😉
It is sporty for it's class and price. How many other small SUV's for the same price have 170hp under the hood with 9 speed gear with paddles. Think about that. The term sport doesn't necessarily mean it should be blazingly fast. Sport term is used to indicate that amongst the other trims of this model, this is the fastest and sport oriented one with nice sporty details.

This needs a manual option to be properly appreciated. Huge fail on part of Fiat, and every other company for that matter. The HRV and CH-R should have a manual option too. Subaru Crosstrek it is.
It can't be offered, as the 1.4T no longer passes European emissions, and the 1.3T never had a manual developed for it. The 2.4 tigershark has a manual still, but its such a crappy engine IMO that it wouldn't be worth it even if available.
@@andrewpolyak2069 Almost no one cares about that. I'm more interested in things like practicality, ground clearance, cargo room, fuel mileage, and things that actually matter in everyday life. Manuals do tend to make small engines more peppy and fun though.
When you have to merge and there are tractor trailers bearing down on you believe me you better care about acceleration. Otherwise I agree with what you said
I don't like the idea of having an electronic parking break. What if the electronics go's dead on the electronic parking break and you can't move and your stuck in park ? 8:24 Also my mechanic told me never ever buy a car with sunroof because they tend to leak.
Yes, Nolan! 💯 You did a spectacular job with this review of the 500x Sport! I watched it from start to finish. I love how you describe the elements of the cars you review. Very very well done, Nolan! Keep it up, man!!!
Great Review seems since I bought a 500L in 2016 it’s not much different in fact 2018 was loaded but nothing in 2021s that would make me buy one again .
Awesome review!!!...these cars aren't not known for having good quality. After driving this latest model, would you say this car and good quality now belongs in the same sentence?
Thank you Aubrey! I’ve definitely heard that and considering the price this was listed at...I think it felt somewhat cheap all things considered. Definitely unique and more spunky than I expected though!
Ah, Fiat. I really wanted to see them make it here. Unfortunately the size of the vehicles and reliability kept them from succeeding. I rented a 500 when they first came out and enjoyed it because it was so different. Of all their models, the X I think is their best effort, but it just doesn’t make sense against like priced crossovers. This would make a decent purchase as a year old pre-owner car after it takes its massive depreciation. Just get an extended warranty. 😏😏😏
Love my fiat 500 but I feel like the quality isn’t there(4 years later I had to buy a whole new stereo cause it was dead so $800+) I want to upgrade but likely gonna steer clear of these 😢
Even if fiat leaves all mechanical parts from engine , transmission and 4x4 are the same as Jeep Renegade and FCA will still provide service . Jeep Renegade and fiat 500X are made on the same assembly line in Italy and are twins with different bodies
That is the most crooked hood prop I have ever seen. It's like they ordered a bunch of prop rods that were too long and just had to insert random kinks to make it shorter.
Really bad cars. They look pretty but are poorly made in terms of the engine. It's like dating a super model who's fucked up in the inside. A rule of thumb kids: Never buy French, Italian and Spanish cars.
When it was time to replace my '16 500X, I knew I wanted a newer version. Absolutely thrilled with my purchase. And already have my eye on the new Capri edition 💙

@@PrimeAutotainment Many thanks to you and I really appreciate your style in the reviews.
Thank you very much!
@@W_T_D Yes, I think it will come in the next 6/8 months.
I love my 19 500X Urbana. I really wished this came out when I bought my Urbana because I like the Sport trim so much more.
This 500x is so much quicker than the Honda HRV and Chevy Trax...i think it feels quick..and certainly cute and has standout styling!

I have had a 500x turbo for 2 years, no problems at all, 100% reliable.
@@andrewpolyak2069 hey! What year do you have and how many miles?
I think that may fit very well in a camper and use it for a get around the campground car🤣🤣🤣
@@bigteddy66 what are you talking about. Get lost bud
@@brianmerrill2362 I'm not your "bud" great car. Get lost yourself. Oh 😂🤣😂🤣
During test drive, front fascia did not look like Sport trim.

With the Fiat against others you mention. You get quality. Yall. Its a car not a thing. Thing is reserved for the junk produced in America.
@@PrimeAutotainment you don’t need a expended warranty with a fiat. Owners prove them reliable.
The specs are ass but it looks so cool 🔥
Whats the top speed of this car?
My Jeep Renegade sent me here
You keep contradicting yourself.
In what ways?
Nice!
Fiat still around for 2020? I thought they quit the market.
I think they are barely still around lol. I was surprised to see this
Duh
Love my fiat 500 but I feel like the quality isn’t there(4 years later I had to buy a whole new stereo cause it was dead so $800+) I want to upgrade but likely gonna steer clear of these 😢
If the stereo is the only thing that has been a problem in 4 years, that isnt bad...ive had one 2 years with 0 problems
Fiat US sales: 2017 26k, 2018 15k, 2019 9k, 2020 2k so far. Good luck finding parts in five years when they no longer exist in the United States.
Yikes lol. Thanks for the stats
