2012 Fiat 500 Abarth. Has anyone bought a Fiat lately?

It would be really cool if this car came in AWD or RWD.
We'll be stopping by the dealership tomorrow. I'm pretty much sold on the car Too bad it's not for me... :'(

It is a LOT slower and a LOT cheaper. Drove a buddy's who just took delivery on his last week. It handled great, but really makes you flog the engine. I didn't especially enjoy driving it, but of course I didn't say that. He was very happy about it.

It would be great fun to track, but not a car that is both fun to drive around town and push harder when you want to.

What car did your buddy just get? I'm confused.

How about a Honda Fit? Same sized car, but better gas mileage and more practical.

Motor Trend did a comparison of cars this size, and they liked the Mini a lot more than the Fiat... But everyone's opinion is different. They liked the new Beetle better as well.

Oh, and I know where you can get a 2007 Cooper in near mint condition for cheap...

Has no one mentioned the Ford Festiva or Chevy Sonic yet? I think the Ford can be made as stylish with its upgraded interior options (and supplied external graphics if that's your thing). The Sonic is available with a turbo engine.

The size car we are looking for.

Not compared to others cars on your list.

Abarth looks like a very sweet car but as others have said its a lot of money
