TrueDelta Reviews the Reliability And Durability of the Fiat 500L

Fiat 500L Reliability And Durability: Cons
YearComment
2014 The FIAT 500 required few repairs early on, but has since taken a turn for the worse. The 500L is an entirely different car assembled in a different factory. But that different factory is in Serbia and once made Yugos. No one has reliability information on the 500L yet, so it's not known to be unreliable. But until the new model establishes a positive track record, its reliability is a gamble. full 2014 Fiat 500L review
