I appreciate the used car review idea, fun for us who don't want to spend 40K. Small car, surprise, not much cargo space. Helps if you unscrew the 4 bolts and remove the trunk organizer.
I import one from the USA to The Netherlands. Nice car for my travel to work ( single trip 15km ) . Saves me a lot of money. It's originally our second car next to the Alfa Romeo Giuletta. But to be honest we use the 500E more then the Giuletta.
The two battery locations are in the exact center of the vehicle adding 600 lb, Fiat did that to distribute the weight evenly adding to the handling of this car. They're not in the trunk.😂 We drive ours more than 20 or 30 mi a day max, who are you people?
I only have 3 complaints about mine so far... They need to remove those two single arm rests and put the normal center console with armrest in. I dont have anywhere to put my coins now =( Seats need a height adjust on them. Steering wheel needs to extend as well. The PROS though!? I'm a delivery driver and my last vehicle was costing me 800 in fuel a month. Now it all goes back to my pocket =) EDIT: After 6k miles the interior is garbage, cheapest plastic they could find is what they put in it. Stereo vibrates both doors. Cant rotate the fucking tires. Car should have a 19k price tag brand new not 31k
84 miles of range would be perfectly doable for most people (including me) _IF_ there was DC fast charging available as an option for those occasional times you need to drive more than that. Without it, it makes those kinds of trips, though rare, quite tedious and in some cases not even possible. This is the one big failing of this car, in my opinion. Otherwise, a nice little fun-to-drive car by all accounts (and a GREAT deal used: The car you have there can be found for under $10,000 easily, in great condition, one owner and low miles).
You can take longer trips, but you have to plan your route. I usually recharge when I'm down to 30%, and that way on a level 2 charger, that's only 2 hours. I go have lunch while my Fiat charges. I've done 300 miles in 1 day this way.
@@dennisreilly6012 For sure that can be done and has been done. Fast charge would be very nice though (2020 Fiat 500e has this, along with many other big improvements, but is not available in the US).
The Pandemic has caused massive food and delivery demand, because people won't be shopping and going out to eat like before, probably not for another 2 years, with vaccine's likely to average only about 85% effectiveness, so this type of car is great if you can see yourself doing delivery work in your 40 mile radius range partime, the problem is which small business and food delivery businesses are going to survive a new federal $15.00 an hour minimum wage? I guess one could argue a lot of restraunt's we'll do more delivery work and lay off in person staff as our economy adjust to the new federal minimum wage, Bottomline: This car might be a real steal for some who can get one now out the door for $6,000 with apx 80K miles on it, and than resell it apx for $3,000 3 years from now.

Love this car...... Use it for my Costco hauls... the most I packed was $300 worth of groceries and a mattress (in a box)
Fantastic review. It seems these cars have actually gotten more expensive since this video was made - the cheapest I can find is $10K.
I really enjoy this review! You both did a great job. It would be great to see you guys review a used Kia soul EV!
Can you go into the air conditioning a little more? can it handle cooling your car in 110 degree temperatures without overheating?

Nice video and detail. I’m curious about the headroom. How tall are you? Would someone 6’ 3” be fairly comfortable?
Enough headroom yes. Legroom might be tight if you are 6’3” though.
