Thinking of buying the 2018 Fiat 500?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2018 Fiat 500; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2018 Fiat 500 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. 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.
It is rated at 7.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 23 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $40.95 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Inside and out
As a sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second. Its 198 litres of luggage space fit about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A longer test drive
If the 500 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $136.50 at our price setting.
