2014 Fiat GQ edition

[Explore Maine]

I recently bought the Fiat to use as my daily and semi retire my SX4 and just use it for camping, errands or when it’s nasty out but after driving this little rocket I thought to myself this would make a great little build for those day trips to the coast or visiting some of Maine historical sites , leaf peeping or the occasional night out with the wife under the stars.

Due to the size, I have to get creative when it comes to how and what I’m going to carry. I’m in the process of making a overlanding / everyday carry crate using a milk crate. The crate will carry a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, rain gear, a can of fix a flat and a tire repair kit with a small compressor. The second crate will be for my adventures it will carry my single burner stove, a extra can of butane and can goods and a pan. I still gotta figure out how I going to mount a strap system to the back side of the rear seats so I can mount a couple of oxygen tanks to the seats while they’re folded down for my wife.

I recently made a few minor mods so I figured I’d share them with you. I recently added a oil catch can a mounting system for my gun and a no drill RAM Mount for my iPad.

I've owned 2 Fiat 500's, great fun especially with manual transmission...My growing kids begged to differ as backseat passengers :)

 

[Cpyonker]

Haha, kids be complaining.

I'm a Mopar guy, but there are no Fiat dealers around here. I've wondered how those little dudes were as far as reliability and stuff.

Since they quit the VW bug again, I would think those would take off.

Just curious, don't want or need to start a gun debate, but what is it for? lol

Nice. My Daily Driver is a 2015 Fiat 500e (electric) Great little cars.

Also makes up for the bad mileage of the durango. (gas money is beer money!)

I've only owned this for a few months so I haven't had any problems and yes it's a tiny rocket!

 

[Murphy Slaw]

and yes it's a tiny rocket!

Actually I meant SALES would probably be better since they quit making the VW bug again......

Some people say We drive a Fiat too......

We have a 2013 Fiat 500 and we love it. The best mod that we did was the Mopar cold air intake. That really was a game changer. We have 53,000 miles on it and it always gets over 30 mpg around town with highway mileage getting up in the upper 30's if I can stay off the gas pedal.
I was going home to my aunt's funeral and we were traveling up I-5 in CA following a Porsche 911 and running 85 - 102 mph from Grapevine to Lemoore. Still got over 30 mpg at those speeds. Such a fun little car.
