Fiat 500 Abarth

Early 2012. I must say the idea of a 2400 lb multi-air pocket rocket sounds enticing. I have been seeing the regular 500's in and around Manhattan carving around taxi's and I must say, it looks like a really fun little car. Any Mk6'ers from EU care to chime in on their experience, if any?

It's a spunky car, and I would totally own one for shits and giggles. The Punto Abarth will also be a killer.

woot 5,000!

I'm totally down for a spare Fiat. Test drive a buddies every so often . Park at the whole foods and its game over with the chicks haha.

i'm a valet driver and in my experience, i found it quite difficult to drive b/c the footwell with the pedals is carved out in a small space and my left foot would drag against the side of that area every time i'd have to clutch in. I wish my size 10.5 shoes wouldhave fit a little betterthan they did.

In the US it is going to be considered a chick car that is why it is game over with them.

With my commute, I think it would end up being at least a month and a half between fill-ups! LOL.

I am sure that is true but anything that my wife, daughter and her friends call adorable qualifies as a chick car.
