I like the Fiat 500L but not buying one until I know I won’t be constantly visiting Tony. FIAT has to know it has this reputation and perhaps it needs to do what Hyundai did and offer a 100 K bumper-to-bumper warranty.
The ONLY reason the 500 is for sale here is to bolster the CAFE ratings.
As for a longer warranty, forget it. Plan on selling any FCA vehicle after two years at a significant loss or ponying up for major repairs.
An Italian design manufactured in Mexico?
What could go wrong?
