She' sort of aware - She didn't want a Mini like her older sis so I took her out and showed here the Abarth and she fell in love with it (as did my wife). She'll be 17 in November but I doubt she would know that this forum exists. I ordered way too early but I wanted a guarantee it would be here for the big day. I know I am going to get a lot of grief about it being too powerful for a 17 year old etc but I am of the opinion that to get a 1 litre snail means the car is constantly thrashed to an inch of its life when its not designed to do so, has inferior brakes and inferior handling. Get something sporty and in reality it is not driven any faster but it is a whole lot safer having the brakes and the handling. Plus, I believe a car should be something that you use sometimes for pure pleasure not function and I cannot think of any small car that when I wake up in the morning, get up and go for a drive just for the hell of it.
