Fiat 500 Electric review (2024)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Fiat customer service is at best pathetic, so any work needed to be undertaken must go through their "technical" who's response is non existent. Each time you drive the car which is ok, something will occur, a warning light, a small flag warning or a command that was ok yesterday will work completely differently today. This vehicle looks good drives ok has many good points, but.....,
Basically it has too many technologies introduced in a brand new model that Fiat don't seem to understand, the dealers are on a steep learning curve too.

How reliable do you find the car?

Totally uninterested in ones problems with their vehicles, once purchased..
4 months on our LaPrima plagued with issues...Front brakes grab when stopping, sounds like mice in callipers, warning lights for tyre pressure on within 10 minutes of collection, audio not working correctly signage on within 2 weeks. Pedestrian warning sound barely audible and only sounds at 15 mph, once per journey, sos light on twice, this indicates the eu call failure, many times one must press start twice before it will "start".
It has now been 4 months since Fiat were informed about the brakes and still investigating....it now indicate auto park brake failure.
Avoid this model it's not a good buy. We going to trade it in soon and buy a proper EV that has customer service focus. Check online reviews of Fiat and it's evident they don't care. They are..PATHETIC..GO ELSEWHERE, ANYWHERE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Lost faith in vehicle as one expects something to crop up each time it's driven.
