New 2025 Fiat 500e

Green Metallic 2025 Fiat 500e Battery Electric FWD 1-Speed Automatic Electric. I was fortunate to find an attractively-priced, slightly-used Beauty model. Actually, easier to drive and more responsive than my old ice cars in the city. Driving is actually fun. Lots of tech, but much of it fairly obvious and easy to use. Smaller size takes some getting used to--in a good way: fitting in spaces, cleaning. Still not sure if I need or like Range mode since I don't drive a lot and use little % of the existing range to begin with. Smaller cabin and seats than my previous cars, but quite comfortable, nonetheless. Has a penchant to beep at anything nearby, including the bushes that line my driveway. I haven't tried transporting anyone in the back seats yet. Highway power consumption is greater than city driving. It varies according to driving technique: best with smooth, even driving. Installing an outside outlet for charging and choosing an appropriate charging cable was an educational experience. There are quite large variations in both aspects. Much care needed. I was fortunate to find a reasonably-priced electrician who educated me about the things I didn't know. By the way, the smaller range and smaller battery mean it is faster to charge than longer-range cars. All-in-all it is a great car with lots of plusses and few minuses (for me at least). Highly recommended for someone who has need of a city car with moderate range, especially if you can get it for a reasonable price. After about a year with the car, I can confirm my earlier impression: It is a fun car to drive.
