Dear Pennies & Pens,
Cars have always been a major part of my life. My father owns a car repair shop so he was always teaching my siblings and I about cars. As a child, my dad would quiz me about the make and model of cars that would come to the shop or that we’d see while out and about. I liked learning about cars but as a child, it didn’t affect me one way or the other because I couldn’t actually drive one.
Now that I’m older, I’ve driven many different cars so I understand what makes a car great and what makes one not so great. Since I’ve been in Houston, my heart and most of my work has been in Dallas so I am forever driving on I-45 making the trek between the two cities. I usually rent cars from Dollar and on my most recent trip to Dallas, I rented the Fiat 500L. That said, today I present to you, LOUD.Ride: Fiat 500L.
Pennies & Pens, this was car was absolutely life changing! It inspired me so much that I immediately contacted Fiat’s PR team to request photos and info so I could feature the car here on de la Pen.
Not only is the car visually stunning but it drives like a dream! It’s fabulous on gas…I made it all the way to Dallas from Houston (a 3.5 hour drive) on one tank of gas.
My favorite feature of the car is that it comes with the Uconnect multimedia system. This means it has an Aux/USB/SD Media Hub with iPod® mobile device integration.
The Uconnect system also has an Integrated Uconnect® Voice Command with Bluetooth® Streaming Audio, hands-free calling and voice texting.
Since I drive a car that was made in the late 90s, this type of technology in a car blew me away! I was able to connect my phone to Bluetooth and stream my audio wirelessly.
As a music lover, this absolutely made my day! The Uconnect system also worked for GPS (on my phone). I believe the Uconnect system has its own GPS system as well.
The Fiat 500L is a truly beautiful car. It’s spacious and comfortable and has a chic design. I adore this car and recommend that you get behind the wheel of one asap!

And there it is: de la Pen…All Pen Everything. With us, keeping it real never goes wrong.
