Smile Fiat 500 Abarth

Thinking of getting one. Anyone got one/know of anyone who has?

I have the standard 500 1.2 Sport, so I know I am going to like it

Interested to hear your opinions really!

Clare

I had one for a weekend last month and it was mega fun! Awesome handling, quick, and sounds the NUTS! Think it'd do nothing but impress if you're going from a 1.2!

My days of mental power are over.... for now anyway. Enjoyed owning my Clio Cup and miss the power, though not putting petrol into it or insuring and taxing it! Going to be a bit of a jump in costs for the Abarth - £145 a year tax rather than £30, (lol) and a bit more insurance, though I am an old fart now, so not as big a jump as you'd think.

Will report back I think if I do have a test drive.
