I am obsessed with the FIAT 500L

My son owns a FIAT 500L, and I fell in love with his car. Door tags show that the FIAT was made in Serbia. Accordingly, the FIAT reflects an iconic European nuance; I love the front side windows extending from the front windshield, which increases driving visibility. The FIAT 500L is compact and fully loaded with every service within easy reach. The FIAT is fun to drive, stops on a dime, has great gas mileage, and allows tight maneuvering. Driving is relaxing and soothes my soul, which reiterates that you chose the right car. If I'm having a bad day, I swipe my son's car and take a spin; better than any therapist and a lot cheaper. I've had many cars in my lifetime, but I never loved a car more than the FIAT. In fact, my goal is to eventually collect several FIATS, which I am currently in the process of doing.

FIAT 500L Trekking is underpriced Italian minivan

The Fiat 500L tends to get overlooked by millennials who are at the same dealership checking out Jeeps but it is probably the biggest bargain in used or new automobiles today. Basically, an Italian-designed minivan, it has a very large interior space with seats that can be folded flat for moving larger objects. The Dr. Dre beats speaker package makes you feel like you are right there at a concert in full surround sound. The turbo kicks in strong and hard when you need it. The suspension accompanies the soft wide seats and there's even adjustable lumbar support. The satellite radio/navigation package works great. There is a panoramic skyroof option that delivers the stars. It feels and is a beautifully engineered European automobile that's dependable and fun to drive.
