The 2015 Fiat 500: before you buy
No 2015 Fiat 500 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before buying the 2015 Fiat 500, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 115 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
The 1.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Combined fuel use is 7.0 L/100 km: about 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $122.50. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. In plain terms, its 198 litres of luggage space hold about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Drive the 500 on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Next step
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
