New Daily Driver has arrived....2013 FIAT Abarth

Econ · 02-19-2013, 09:51 AM

Picked him up this weekend. Quick little bugger, a ton of fun to drive. 5spd transmission is nice, and the interior is quite roomy, given the size.

Kool lookin wheels. Good luck on potholes... Throw some interior shots.

I had a hard time finding a manual to test when they first came out in the states. Tons of these in Italy as you might suspect, and all are manuals. I guess they think all Americans want an auto.

Good luck and have fun with it.

The Abarth only comes in Manual, which i really like. Though from a profit perspective, isn't the best choice for FIAT

yah, would suckarse if those came in AT. mini boxes and hatches need to be MT to be cool imho.

If I was going to get a 500 that would be the one. They are fairly quick little cars, fun to drive and good on gas.

It's the Nads!

m4a1mustang · 02-19-2013, 04:33 PM

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-19-2013, 06:32 PM

Nice. Great color choices. I considered the Abarth but the WRX won me over.
