Thinking of buying the 2016 Fiat 500?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Fiat 500 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2016 Fiat 500 before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the 500
NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 170 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
The 1.4L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 7.0 L/100 km, which means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $12.25, and a 300 km weekend about $36.75. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Practical details
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. EPA lists 198 litres of luggage space, enough for about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the 500 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Year and trim
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
