There have been many reviews of the Fiat 500e and in all honesty it is difficult to find one which is critical of the car. Have you driven a Fiat 500e or do you have a view on what many believe is the most efficient electric car on sale in the US? ---

The Car and Driver review, where they compare the Fiat to the Leaf, Volt and another, is downright hateful. You might like that one for perspective… ---

Those Fiat’s are really good looking cars. But they seem to get slammed pretty hard. And the Smart cars … don’t even get me started. They are, by all appearances, a complete failure. I haven’t read a single positive review for them. But they are selling in high numbers, so what do I know? 🙂 That Car and Driver review is not the first time that I have seen the Chevy Spark get good scores. Definitely not my style. But you can’t beat the price in comparison to the other guys. ---

We may be at the start of a new era. At my age I will never see it mature. Fuel at $2 a gallon is sure to set it back as long as it stays in that range. Example: in comparison with a year ago I am getting the equivalent of 36 miles per gallon on my 08 Avalanche. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY ---

There is a good lease on these right now. I wish it was a little bigger car. ---

I don’t know if it’s the most efficient or not. It has the range I need for a 62 mile roundtrip commute and it is the best looking of the affordable EVs. When the lease is up, I may look in to the eGulf or Soul, but I’ve had minimal problems with this car after 20,000 miles. I hear the batteries are stupid expensive or I would buy out the lease. ---

Hi Alex I would be very interested to hear about your experience of the Fiat 500e in more detail. We have a member currently working on their own driving experience thread for a Renault Zoe:- [http://www.electricforum.com/cars/renault-electric-car-forum/9372-my-personal-zoe-review.html](http://www.electricforum.com/cars/renault-electric-car-forum/9372-my-personal-zoe-review.html) Would you be interested in doing something similar? Regards, Mark ---
