2024 Ford Fiat 500e review highlights compact electric city car
The Fiat 500e delivers 117 horsepower from a permanent magnet motor with an EPA range of 149 miles and a base price around 34 thousand dollars. It seats four in a tight rear cabin with limited headroom, offering electronic door handles and a single-speed transmission, but it’s best as a second commuter rather than a road trip vehicle. Car reviewer Tim Banse notes pedestrian alert, center console controls, and Italian styling, while cautioning about limited cargo space and back-seat comfort.
Four Tires Recommended for All-Wheel Drive Car
Ray Magliozzi explains that a nail damage on the sidewall can be unsafe to repair and that replacing all four tires is prudent on an all wheel drive car. He notes center differential issues and the high cost of such repairs, and says the tire shop’s advice was reasonable.
