The 2015 Fiat 500e for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2015 Fiat 500e for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2015 Fiat 500e for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the 500e
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, fuel/propulsion system and engine; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain to know here is the electric motor, with front-wheel drive. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 18.1 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 54 kWh. Rated range: 140 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. Driving 300 km costs roughly $8.16 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
When the 500e makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Space, size and seats
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo. EPA lists 198 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the 500e is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$650 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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $27.20 at our price setting.
Talk to a person
