Better change out that timing belt, stat. That is an interference engine, and snapped belt or failed tensioner will brick that engine faster than you can say "Fiat."

Bought my '12 FIAT Sport in 2020 from a used car lot. 5 spd. Over the last four years I've been replacing wear & tear items. Namely a set of front tires, and a rebuild of all 4 corners with wheel bearings, and brake pads & rotors for the rear as well. It's all straight forward stuff, easy to work on. I've replaced all the fluids of the engine & transmission. Spark plugs, air filter, etc. And, as you said, they don't leak a drop. I'm at 137,xxx miles now.

I thought the reliability issues were exaggerated.. until I bought a 2012 1199S 2 months ago. It's broken down twice, and has had a new battery + new starter motor installed so far. Bike still stalls intermittently. Only has 6000km too (3700 miles)

I’m glad it’s been good to you because as you say, Fiat is not renowned for their reliability. Frequent oil changes are key to the life of any internal combustion engine - good going. BTW, whenever I’m next to an Abarth I kill the stereo and turn down the windows as those little devils sound pretty cool.

Something definitely fishy. The vast majority of videos and comments on YT videos for Fiat are positive yet somehow Consumer Reports and other publications are always talking trash. I don't trust CR ratings anymore, there's no way of knowing if their readers actually own the products they rate and any ratings could be heavily biased against or for brands the reviewer likes, or dislikes. Fiat brand has been ruined by CR mostly.

I think there were two main reasons for that, it said fiat on it and it was a Chrysler product. Neither brand has a good track record at all, not in the US. Maybe there was a third in that the price new was high for a cheaply made tiny car with a plastic and basic interior. Maybe a fourth as automatics are the most popular car in the US, but their auto transmissions were not good at all and should be avoided. Used they are great bang for the buck though, just stick to manual transmission and take good care of it.

I’ve got one with the dual logic gearbox , the gearbox failed week after l got it, fiat said it would cost 20,000 dollars for a new gearbox because o mechanic are willing to work on them put a used gearbox in 1500 dollars later and 70000 kilometres on the clock the gearbox has gone again,

At 150k miles it's about time to have the timing belt changed. You don't want it to break because this is an interference engine.

Maintenance is key with this car. It looks like you stayed on top of everything. What about the timing belt? It's due to be changed. Ignore the orange TPMS light. Just get a tire pressure gauge and check the pressure once per month (recommended pressures are printed on the driver's door frame). You should have an air compressor and tire sealant machine under the driver's seat to top off the tire pressure. The broken door handle is a rite of passage! 😁

Great video. I have a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport with 111,000 miles. I had to replace/repair the electrical harness in the rear hatch which seems to be a design flaw. Also, I had an electrical starter cable which rusted and fail. Other then that, it’s been a great car. Does not burn oil and no fluid leaks. I am curious to know if you still have your 500 and if so how many miles you have on her. It’s sad to see that Fiat has left the USA. These small fuel sipping cars are needed more now than ever. Thank you!
