Hi, first of all, Im from Spain and I'm new to the forum and I don't have an Abarth, but I intend to have one, specifically a 595 Pista 160hp.
The thing is that I am a little lost in life, I am 21 years old and I am saving to buy a second-hand one between 16,500€ - 18,000€ with a maximum of 35,000km minimum in 2017. It is one of my dreams, right now I am working at temporary jobs. My concerns are the following:
To have as a daily car, is it crazy? I know it has a hard suspension and its a small car, but I do not know how uncomfortable it can be, my most common route I usually do is 50km one way and 50km back.
Maintenance? Not having any permanent job, my fear is that the car will have problems and it will catch me just when I am not working, it should not be a problem because I usually have savings, but I do not know how much maintenance / repairs can cost me . Is it a relatively reliable car?
What I do not want is to leave it for another moment in my life because with the issue of electrification or it will be impossible or they will slaughter me with taxes so that I can not maintane it, if in a few years I have children it will not be profitable ... also I do not know if tomorrow I'll be here even it sounds sad..
So, if I buy an Abarth with the characteristics already written and my situation, would it be a FAIL or not?
I mean it's not a Ferrari but it's not an Opel Corsa either, I hope someone can help me, thanks.
