The 2018 Fiat 500: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Fiat 500 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2018 Fiat 500 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the 500
NHTSA has 16 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
It is powered by the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 7.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.65, and a 300 km weekend about $40.95. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. Luggage space is 198 litres, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
A test week in the 500 tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Want a price?
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy

Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2018 Fiat 500 for you and reply within one business day.
