I love Italian cars, but dear god no. Stay far, far away from this thing.

My gosh that list is awfully long for such a new vehicle (2014+...)

I’d expect to see a list that long if this was a 2008-2018 review!

I reviewed one as a rental last spring. It was unremarkable in a competitive segment. I mean, really, the list of cars you have to say "no" to before getting one of these......

Throw in Fiat quality, um no thanks.

Fiats seem to be POSes.

this one is, yes

I would argue that the Fiat 124 and the 500 Abarth are decent.

Thats a fair assumption. Fiat is to cars what the Germans are to stand up comedy

also the Kia Soul would be a good alternative to this model. 

I'm really surprised that Fiat still continues with a 2018 model, but having sold only 13 units in 10 months this year in Canada, it's not exactly a big success and with a base MSRP of $25,495 is not helping. (500X is almost as bad)
Total sales since introduction in Canada in 2013 - 5,666, peaking in 2014 selling 2,461 units
2015 - 1,948
2016 - 303
2017 - 42

that's because everyone is finding out what a POS these are.

since you mentioned the Soul, here are their Canadian sales numbers:

Year   
Kia Soul
Canadian Sales
2009 - 8489
2010 - 9857
2011 - 11,651
2012 - 7560
2013 - 7618
2014 - 9944
2015 - 13,335
2016 - 12,672
2017 - 11,691
2018 - 9226
