This looks like a review written before you drove the car.

I own a 2016 Fiat 500x.... The one you tested is super bare bones. You might want to mention that. Mine does not have any of the issues you complained about. Be clearer on your reviews.

In all honesty this sounded like a kid whining because it didn’t fit his preference. I don’t own one of these but to make it sound that bad is kind of silly. Didn’t sound like anything was actually wrong with the car and minor wear and tear is normal but actually looked pretty good for it’s age. One thing I notice about Most Mini Coopers and now Fiats is the owners tend to really take care of them so that’s a good thing if your gonna buy a car. With all that said, thanks for the review.

I happen to love my Fiat 500X Trekking. 78k with no problems. Performance is great for what I need. My only problem is although it’s under the Chrysler tag; most will not work on them and the Fiat dealerships are shrinking in numbers 😟

Had the Trekking myself. One of my favorite cars I ever had. Only reason I still don't have it, is COVID happened, I lost my job and couldn't keep up on the car payments.

The parts sharing reminds me of the Dodge Dart window buttons in the Maserati models

I agreed with everything you say about the car, until I test drove one with a 6-speed manual and the same engine set up as the Abarth. That automatic completely ruins the car from almost 6 years ago, but I understand the new ones are a lot better.

“Down the road your setting yourself up” well tell me , what was wrong with this car? I didn’t hear you mention one mechanical failure at 100k miles because there were none. A worn steering wheel won’t leave me on the side of the road. The key fob u can very obviously see has Been kicked dropped and thrown all over. This was a very harsh, petty, attention seeking video. Also, you don’t even need the key it’s keyless enter n go. Just ugh

tend to agree. No specifics mentioned ... plus it's fair to say that this very review completely differs from other reviews ... which tend to be quite favorable actually. Zack was good fun to watch, but little value to derive from the review. Sorry ...

I've been seriously eyeing one of these for the last few weeks and I was fully prepared to hate on your review... but when your right your right, your review was just straight up honest and can't hate on ya for it.

You’ve talked a lot about how much attention to detail Fiat paid to the minute things in this car, but it takes a very attentive person to notice these things. Great review by you!

I have two 2016 models. One of them AWD. I love both. Been mine for 6 years. Never a mechanical failure. It is one of those cars that you start to love because them never fail and always bring you to your destiny. That's important.

Looks like a great car,try driving a Nissan Jukebox..Terrible design and leg room...

get the AWD model.. keep it in "manual" mode. never had issues. And is actual a peppy daily. and handles well. The ZF 9HP transmission is notorious for harder shifts in colder climates.. and this is true.. once it's warmed up no issues. very smooth.

I really like the looks of late model Fiats. They're unique. They're still undeniably Italian... *but* ... yeah, quality isn't there. It's a shame really.

Negative or not, this was one of your better reviews, Zack! That shot where you laid down on the ground in front of the car for a good cry was hilarious! Thank you.

Beers and hotdogs!....that's the reviews you should focus on

The small screen complaint, is hilarious to me, because I hated how big it was, compared to a typical radio from the cars I grew up driving. I don't need a backup cam and I'd prefer proper buttons, when I navigate my radio/settings, because I can do that, without having to take my eyes off the road.

I own a 2019 Ford focus ST and the wife has a 2020 fiat 500x sport and it leaves my focus for dust in the quality and driving stakes and it out accelerates my focus and its only a 1.4 auto my focus is a 2.3🤷‍♂️ the fiat far better car!

What's the purpose of lying to a bunch of strangers on the internet? It's kinda sad my dude.

Useless review, never mentioned roominess for the driver, handling, tall drivers, noise, cornering ac performance, why renegade not 500x etc

You don't understand because you don't know...Chrysler and Fiat are together......the only cars you should talk about are John Deer tractors.

Ive watched 8 reviews on the 500x, yours is the first negative. Sure a corolla is more reliable, but honestly look at one. In fact good looking and Toyota should never be used in the same sentence!

But the main technical (besides the superficial points) is that the tranny shifting seems awkward? right? idling shifting. You do realize that software updates can and do change those irregularities

I have the 2016 500X Trekking Plus and I love it! The interior quality is much better than the reviewed model. I previously had the 500 Lounge in a manual, which I prefer, but manual was only available in the base model in Canada for the 500x. Since this was my first automatic car I did notice the gear shifting when I bought it, but I don't notice it anymore after a computer upgrade. Both Fiats I've owned have been fun to drive & reliable. My only complaint is having to deal with Dodge for warranty work. When Fiat had their own dealership and mechanics they were awesome to deal with. Dodge mechanics don't seem to know as much about Fiats, and the sales staff don't understand that Fiat and Dodge owners are very different & want different things. It's bad enough that I'm considering another brand to get better service when it's time for my next car. Too bad, because I really like these cars.

Definately need the right storm with this car. You need the 2.4L for sure. You must flash the ECU immediately with a nice tune. When chipped, and sport mode with the traction off is good fun.

The car maintaining 1000rpm at all times is a feature to prevent the car stalling

I own a 2017 Fiat Abarth in addition to an Acura and Porsche. I bought the Abarth as a fun car during Covid that I would have for just a little while and then get rid of before problems started, 4 years later the car has 80k and has been flawless. Cheap interior parts yes, but mechanically these get a worse rap than they deserve. Mine has been problem free (and it’s an automatic) I think there is a certain style about these cars that appeals to some and makes people want to take a chance on them.

The critic has a responsibility to evaluate beyond their own limited view. The comments here and on other sites suggest that you were more interested in a sensational 'bad' review than actually reviewing the car.

the way you act around this fiat , is the exact way i act around renaults

It's whatever button that locks/unlocks it on a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep 😀

I'm considering buying a used one with a manual transmission as an Uber! 😁

So it's not safe or... I ...I need this dumbed down I'm looking to buy my first car are there safety issues or is it looks and design

You should drive my fiat punto 1.2 NA methane 60hp to experience the absolute worst Got it because there's a law in italy which states you can't drive a car over 80hp for the first year after you get your driving license

I am on my second Fiat 500x, and I must say that i'm impressed on how different this model is in the US vs Chile. I have a 1.4l Turbo with a 6 speed manual transmition, dual zone climate control, spare tire, a much bigger screen with no backup camera, foglights, electric lumbar adjustments, etc. The only thing I must agree with you are the seats, they are hard as a rock, and the headrest can give you head trauma if you rest on it for five minutes!

How big are you? Ie, tall and weight? I'm trying to judge how small the back seat really is.

the multiair engines sound nice, thats about it lol

funny to think that in 2022 Fiat kept the worst vehicle in it's lineup even after all other models have been discontinued for the American market, I'm guessing it's because of the shared platform with the Jeep Renegade

These reviewers that rip the base model of cars are ridiculous!

U ate a hatter i think. A base model and u want to be a fully lexus quality?

Stellantis should just pull Fiat out of the US and put one of the PSA brands in the dealerships that previously had Fiat logos.

I had 1.4 torbo one the fuel was horendous 28 to the gallon I've switched to 1 6 diesel and its a lot better I'm getting 50 to the gallon and its more powerful to with much more torque and its the best car I have ever had

With the steering wheel wear and key wear, 90,000 miles on the clock is considered a fairly high mileage for a five year old car where I come from. Yes, cars do go for more miles than they used to and 40 years ago a 90,000 mile European car at only a few years old would be an ex-fleet car and on sale more cheaply than a low mileage privately owned car, and if you take your chances with the ex-fleet car, you should know the risks. The highest miles used car I bought was a 70,000 mile five year old Mercedes-Benz. I’d never buy a cheaper car with that kind of miles on it and not expect wear. Thank goodness Mercedes-Benz separated from Chrysler!

Maybe if this didn’t carry him self like a sloppy bum that hasn’t showered in days his opinion might carry more weight 🤷‍♂️

The Smart's transmission was bad from the start. This transmission was very good for a few miles, then has been on a steep decline ever since, only getting worse with age. At least the Smart is consistent!

You can honestly do quite worse than the 500X. I’d say the 500L is WAY worse, with awkward ugly-duckling styling, a terrible transmission, wonky handling, poor use of space, and the exact same awful build quality and fit & finish. This looks like a base model 500X, and yeah those 9-speeds are notorious for rough shifts when they’re not warmed up. At least it looks pretty cool. 🤷‍♂️

Only 90k mile! That’s bloody lot for that type of car 🚗

I wonder if anyone dared to buy this?! If they did,they sure don't watch Shooting Cars vids! 😂😂😂😂

The left button is the unlock one and the right lock. I know this because i own a renegade and its the same key also you are right about the climate button🤣🤣🤣

The later model 500x has a totally different drivetrain. I really, really enjoyed driving the turbo awd 3 cylinder. Plenty of go, transmission was well programmed and engaging. Neat vehicle. I think the 9speed ruined this earlier drivetrain model you reviewed. It's great to see an auto manufacture make a quick change for the better. Otherwise, I believe fiat makes very good vehicles! The only real comparable vehicles to this platform are the not so fun and unengaging Mazda CX-3, the far nicer and ridiculously fun Mini Countryman (2017 and newer because screw the older models with french engines), and I don't know, the WRX? lol. I'll gladly take one of these 500x's with the newer drivetrain over the renegade any day.

I hope you are joking.....the worst car test I ever see...

The car is fun in sport transmission certainly shifts faster I’m gonna sell Mine this month because of the reliability issues now that it’s out of warranty.

When one of the nicest, most genuine, most humble car reviewers in the game rips a car a new one, you KNOW its bad

You sorta remind me of Doug Demuro crossed with a young Jonah Hill, I love it

Got half way through video can't figure out way this guy hates the car. The figure on the air condition button, seriously. The water bottle test which it passed. Ahh whatever

These cars are great ,love mine. You wrote the review before you drove it. You are obviously very biased,the type of person who would have loved the car if it was American. BTW it's your constant rabbiting that caused your sore head ,and no you don't need a seat you need to walk .lots.

Totally disagree...!!! Really enjoyed it. You tested the worst version... You missed the european version with turbo engine and a manual transmission.

Misleading, poorly made review.

Somebody stop him please…. Nothing about the ride quality, build or economy. Nice to hear him complain about the button icons. Should be on the muppets show. 90000 + miles and he is wanting to test the performance. Stick to the super sized burger rivers.

I didn't get what was really bad about this car... Here is almost nothing about how this car drives, I just know that Toyotas is from a driving point of view is - a vegetable, so if these cars are used as a prototype..... Perhaps you just need Chinese vegetable cars with nice huge Android screens, fake leather, huge pathos, etc., and without anything else...

This is the worst car I’ve owned. My 2017 500X has been at the dealerships repair shop for 4 months and counting. They can not figure out why the car stalls while in drive. Which is extremely dangerous!

Aww I love my fiat

Dam dude, talking and trashing about this Fiat, if you hate it so much, then why review it. Let it be known to the other car manufacturers, this guy will trash the reputation of any vehicle that he doesn't like, so don't let him.
