Reviews:

Fiat’s 500L Pop does receive high ratings for its infotainment system and its generous cargo area but it has a very average performance with below satisfying cabin materials. Apart from this it does not have any authorized safety clear tests. When talking about its fuel economy then it has a terrible fuel mileage by consuming large amount of fuel but it does have an attractive interior design but its flaws makes it a disappointment for customers and the competitors make the first preference for the customers.
