2016 FIAT 500e Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I enjoyed the EV so much , I bought it . Its really fun to drive . People mistake the little car for a Prius like slug . But its really peppy off the line , and will blow off just about any gas guzzler out there on the bottom end . It does take a little while to get used to , as its very quiet . You can hear every time you use the brakes , defroster fan , A.C. , and radio .

The car was purchased as a first car for my daughter, so it just needed to be safe and practical. It has just the right amount of flair and all of the function my daughter needs to travel around town. It won’t travel much beyond 85 miles range on a charge, which is fine for our purposes. I preferred the fiat to the 2012-2017 Nissan Leaf, which is another car we considered. Many of the Nissan Leafs that are available on the used car market have 40k to 60k miles on them, while the Fiats that we considered had 25k or less, and were more affordable. It would’ve been nice to get some of the collision avoidance features, and a back-up camera, but there were no options other than the Leaf in our price range.
