The 2016 Fiat 500e for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 Fiat 500e for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2016 Fiat 500e for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, exterior lighting and power train; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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.
The figures, translated
It is powered by 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 18.6 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 56 kWh. On paper it goes 135 km between charges, less in winter. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $8.37 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$650 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Size and space
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.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the 500e on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. The EPA estimates US$650 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
