I like the pram. There we go. I've admitted it i,d like to try the flappy paddle gearbox, see how it compares to the last fiat abarth version  A vast improvement, believe me I cant believe you are making me swear by using the phrase "selespeed"  |

[Are we talking about the Stilo!? /quote] unfortunately yes, and the alfa 156, both of which leave me deeply scarred  |

From three pages ago:- It's a five-speed gearbox, and it's standard on the 500C as John says.
Both the 500C and 695 use the C510 gearbox from the 500, but with the additional MTA 'module'. The 695 does, however, use different electronics for a faster/better change and, as John points out, a different style of operation.
MultiAir not arriving on any 500 models this year as we understand it.

In case if you didn't gather by then, I have put my name down for it. Talking figures will be next month at Reserarch Abarth once UK prices are confirmed for both mono and bicolour versions because I want the latter. However, I won't have the seats in Curo as I much prefer Nero. I'm much looking forward to it! |
