Interesting that a lot of you seem to have been sold on the Abarth very quickly from the test drive. Can I ask what sort of cars you have come from perchance?
I have had my fair share of quick motors in the past and wonder how (vx220, Civic type R, Golf GTI MK V, Z4, Mini Cooper S, to name but a few) and I wonder how the little 500 will stack up based on my history if you know what I mean.
I think, and I am just supposing here, the 500 will offer relatively low cost thrills in an environment where fuel is becoming more and more of a issue. I loved my Mini for its fun factor, it wasnt the quickest or the most practical but it was a great little car. Will the 500 replace it in my heart?
By the way, at the moment I am in a 530d sport, but the 25mpg diesel is bloody killing my wallet, despite the comfortable ride and millions of toys.
