I always look at these things and think that if you got to a decent speed and jumped on the brakes they would just roll end over end down the road

They are so much fun. My wife has the 595 comp with the Monza exhaust and the noise is rather good

Prefer this to the other competing "hen's teeth" car on the forum ATM.

Only problem for me is that my 17 year old daughter wants one for her first car (not the abarth admittedly).......

That looks great.

I really like the 500s - even the Twin-Air my sister bought last year is great fun to drive.

I like that too, my 88 year old mum as a twin air and it is quite fun to drive, though it does sound like an electric toothbrush when the revs get to 4500

When my sister was searching it had to be a Twin-Air because it sound like a "proper" 500 form the 60s. Which may be a nostalgia thing because the first car she drove after passing her test was our Mum's 1967 Fiat 600!

I'd love to drive an Abarth of some description, but having back doors is much more practical for my daily driver.

Motorway driving is a little tiring due to the noise. But with the 180 hp they are very quick

Love these Abarth's, in any of the many, many flavours. Need to own one at some point, but it's hard to see how it will make sense, unless it replaces the Z4 or I have 3 cars...

Looks very smart in silver. Those on the Forum who have/had them speak well of them.
