It’s new car time at our house, one of those times that I really have mixed feelings about, I love the idea of picking out and driving a new car for the next 3 years but I don’t always enjoy the process of getting the car. I really dislike “making the deal” and never understand that when you ask me how much I can spend and I tell you the amount, why can’t we just go from there and not start in with all the BS of “if you can do this I can put you in this car”. Anyway this time the process was much more pleasant and there wasn’t any dickering back and forth. We had recently been seeing the TV commercials for the Fiat 500 X Crossover, it’s Fiat’s first SUV type vehicle and our interest was piqued.

We went last Sunday afternoon to the local Fiat lot and looked and they had 2 of the Crossovers and we liked what we saw. So Tuesday afternoon I cleaned up and out the car we would be trading in and headed to the Fiat dealership. Once we got there we told them what we were interested in and we started test driving, we drove three different vehicles before finally settling on the Silver model with a black interior ( I swore I wasn’t having a black interior, so remember, NEVER say never). We worked out our deal and drove it home. We are very excited about the vehicle, it’s very fun to drive and comfortable, it has all the features we wanted including GPS and Sirius Satellite Radio, Front Wheel Drive and a backup camera.
