Interesting car for sure. I had a Fix It Again Tony way way back before they pulled out of Canada - was a fun car, and believe me, I learned a lot of wrenching on that car.
Roughly how much are these cars in the US? The Abarth price is really jacked here, so much so that price is less of a driver to purchase.
It will be interesting to see your longer term opinion of the car. How long do you plan to keep it?
Cheers,
Mike

Leno owns the very second 500 to be sold in America, and raised the question: Is the Abarth good enough for an upgrade? We certainly think so, but Jay took to the Los Angeles streets to find out. Along the way, he mused about how the Abarth would stack up against the Ferrari Dino and the future of the performance automobile. To find out what Jay thought of the Fiat 500 Abarth check out the video below.

Cool car bro, I like the white on white wheels. I'm curious to know how peppy the multiair 1.4 turbo is because I drove my sister's rental fiat 500 auto and it was a dog but, coming from just driving my 993 there is no comparsion.
Hmmm, perhaps if some aftermatket parts start popping up it will be a real fun car to modify anyway have fun and be safe.

I rented one in Atalanta and was really impressed with the mileage I got. It was an automatic gray with black interior. Not a fast car at all. My Prius is a hot rod compared to it. I could not adjust the seats on mine but was told by the thread starter that Fiat puts the adjustment on the inside. I did not see anything. Overall, impressed with the little car.
