Italian cars and reliability. These words cannot be in the same sentence.

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth

Bought brand new with only 11 miles on the clock. Traded it in 2 years later with just over 7k miles for the Z.

The Abarth was in the shop less than one week after I got it, and was in the shop for over a week. That doesn't include the other 30 or so times that it was in the shop, sometimes for days, sometimes for a week or two, and once for over a month.

2 different turbos, two complete brake replacements (front and rear, rotors, calipers and pads), both window regulators, trans syncros... Just to name a few.

On the plus side, it looked good, and sounded great! Better exhaust note than even the Z, and I could make it backfire on demand!

Less than 2 years old, less that 8 thousand miles total, and probably in the shop more times than your 2010 Z in its entire life.
