Mechanics Cringe When These Cars Roll In To The Shop


Fiat 500L

The Fiat 500L has a whole slew of issues including a slipping/lock-up transmission, issues with in-car electronics, and a shoddy drive system. Not to mention the fact that it provides a super stiff ride, flat seats, and an awkward driving position. These factors, and others, have lead to very low customer satisfaction. Even worse still is its score of Poor on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s small-overlap frontal crash test. Fortunately, not everything is bad with the Fiat 500L. It does have its quick turn response and roomy cabin going for it. However, is that enough to persuade anyone to go run out and buy one? Probably not.
