Which could also mean it's time to check your brake pads.

Instead of the Abarth I would look at a Mini Cooper S. My wife has one and its as much fun, if not more so to drive then the 370z. Its also super easy to work on.

Talk about unreliable, the Cooper S sure fits that bill! My co worker had an '11 that had more issues than the law allows, it was totaled in Oct 2014. She said she doe not miss it a bit, she replaced it with a 2014 Honda Accord 6spd V6 coupe that she now loves.

Yeah, Ive heard that the newer ones are not as good as the 2002-2006. We've got a 2006 and we haven't had any major issues with it other than BMW just replaced the rear hatch for free because I saw some rust on the seam and they have a 12 year rust warranty.

I rode in my first 'new' Mini this last week. It was my cousins wife's DD. Made a lousy impression.
It looks just fine and he says it goes great and gets good gas mileage.
I just couldn't get over how crappy it rode and how much the interior 'rattled' around. WTF? These are modern cars. I would expect them to be real tight.
Opening and closing the door felt awful. I just can't imagine how bad it will be in a few years when there's some mileage on it.
My Z with Swifts feels less 'rough' and stiff and is way more compliant over bumpy stuff. The Mini is a unrefined go kart in comparison.

I loved my Mini Cooper S 2010. I never had any problems with it and it was a lot of fun to drive...especially filling the gas tank you save a lot, but then again I only owned mine for about a year until I wanted something more and got the Z but I have nothing bad to say about the Mini Cooper S. BMW has a good warranty.

To OP
Stick with the Z and it will take you far though.. just think, now that you got past all the BS which most don't even experience in your position, you should be trouble free for a long time...right?

I've seen one of those new fiats in a 5-10 mph front crash and the front was done.

Im pretty sure you get what you're paying for in this case.
