THE
CAR: 2019 FIAT 500L TREKKING
The
2019 FIAT 500L TREKKING in a Grigio Scuro (grey metallic) exterior with a Nero
(black) interior is too cool for school!
This
compact car has a rep of not being particularly attractive. But, I beg to
differ. All I can say about this mini-car is that it is adorbs and has a lot of
character!
What’s
not to like about the 2019 FIAT 500L?
If
you have to get from point A to point B, you may as well do it in style. Do it
in a 2019 Fiat 500L. The car attracts
attention on the road. Don’t look too
hard, though, because Fiat will probably redesign this car soon.
The
interior design is user-friendly, convenient and well thought out. The seats are
firm and comfortable. The view from the
driver’s seat is fab. The windshield is perfect. There is plenty of passenger and cargo room. There
is also lots of storage space. From the outside, the interior is really
deceiving. Once you open the door and get inside, you will realize there is a
rather large interior. The gauges are upgraded. The window controls on the
center panel are easy to reach. Highlights include the heated seats, power
heated mirrors and the USB ports in the front and back. Believe it or not,
there is a backseat. At 5’10”, there is
no way I could get back there! Note**
The rear seats don’t fold completely flat.
This
car is hella cool! It’s sporty, looks
good and handles well!
