My wife has owned 2 Fiat's so far:
2012 FIat 500 Sport - only problems with it were related to a few odd recalls (one was for the tire iron), plus the plastic side skirts needed to have the double sided tape replaced, as the part of the skirt near the front wheels would eventually lose their stickiness after a hot summer. Clock in instrument panel is always losing time.
2012 Fiat 500 Abarth - plastic side skirts also lost their stickiness after a summer. Clock in instrument panel is always gaining time.
If you buy a Pop or a Lounge, then you eliminate the side skirt issue.
Oh, and wear a watch, so that you eliminate the clock issue.
I'm not sure how many of the people who posted before I did actually owned either a Mini or a Fiat, so you might want to take their opinions with a grain of salt.
What I know is my wife loves her Fiats, and we both would recommend them to anyone looking for a car in this segment. Our neighbor bought a 2013 Fiat 500 Pop last summer, and has been blissfully happy since.
BC.
