New Owner - 2015 Abarth
« on: April 13, 2015, 02:52:56 pm »
Hi all,

I'm a happy new owner of a new 2015 Abarth 500 Custom in Cordolo Red.

My last car was a BMW 330d Msport so this is quite a different beast but I love it, it so much fun to chuck around!

Wife has a normal 500 which I've enjoyed driving so knew half what to expect and the Abarth dealer service was excellent.

Located in Sussex if there is anyone near by  :)

    Hi and welcome :wave:

    Cordolo red is a great colour especially when polished and the sun hits it.

    Thanks for the kind words all!

    Yea I'm loving the colour, the last red car I had was an MR2 and that went faded and looked pink in the sun!...This is a much deeper red though so I hope my manhood will be saved :D

    Looking forward to getting a clear bit of road and testing the TTC out properly.

    Great looking car. I nearly went for it myself :) I have owned a fair few cars but hands down, the A500 has been the most fun. Welcome along :)

    Thanks Barbs.

    Might be a question for one of the other sub-forums but does anyone know if cruise can be retro fitted?

    Hi Ryan, yes it can, I have a Goldcruise fitted to my Competizione. It has worked well for the last 22000 miles

    Oh cool, how much did it cost to have it fitted if you don't mind me asking?

    I got mine from David.

    I got mine from David below about 2 years ago. A lot less money than Goldcruise in Birmingham
