Fiat is smallest
Do they still sell Fiat in the US?
I would avoid the older Fiat EV. Beautiful car but too little range — around 80 miles on a full charge.
I've loved mine for the last 7 years. Even with a 40 mile commute. Honestly how many miles do you regularly drive in a day?
Consumer Reports data says avoid,
Least reliable EV you can buy, I believe it because nothing Stellantis makes is good.
I looked at this car. Test drove it. Noisy, squeaky, terrible suspension and in the end I avoided it because all FIATs are shit and don't last.
When FIAT returned to the NA market, they sold huge numbers of the 500 in Canada, and now they are all extinct. In the end, they sold 27 cars one quarter because so many owners got burned.
US: 47,000 to 919 in just 10 years. That's shitting the bed.
For someone who refuses to understand how a car works and only trusts the dealer to work on a car that's valid information.
For others.... They're not terrible cars for what they are. Stellantis made the suspension, body, and interior. Bosch made the drivetrain and control systems.
He asked for the smallest car. That's one of the smallest I can think of - excluding the smart car one if that's a thing - but smart cars have always been shit - with the exception of being able to parallel park anywhere you want.
Not to anyone who bought them in the last 10 years.
