I was considering a Mini or an MX5 around the time the Fiat came back to the US. I purchased a Fiat 500 Sport instead. It was not a complete dog like the regular mini cooper and I loved the extra space that the MX5 did not have. I can go to the grocery store in the Fiat! About 9 months ago I purchased an Abarth. Best idea I ever had. I have a 45 minute commute each way in traffic. The car zips in and out of traffic and I have had no mechanical problems. I have driven many of my friends Mini S, which cost a lot more (I paid $19,000 for new Abarth at year end clearance sale). Abarth drives so much better and the sound is spectacular. The sport button turns the car into a monster. :)
Great car with a catch..

I admit, I'm pretty blinded by how much I love my Abarth and it's a car that I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about one. They're super fun to drive, full of character, have great aftermarket support and turn plenty of heads. Mine has 34k miles with a few engine modifications and has been dead reliable. It's a little short on space and has a lot of cheap plastic on the inside (as to be expected from a car with subcompact economy car bones) though this never bothered me as I understood what I was buying. The big catch is that these are not a spectacular deal brand new with the price tag, however the depreciation makes these a stellar bargain with clean, low mileage examples with leftover factory warranty selling sometimes $10k less than new. If this is a unit you plan on keeping for years to come, then go for it. If this is a car you plan turn around and sell a year after your purchase be ready to take a tremendous hit due to depreciation.

I never take it easy on this little car, I push it all the time, I perform all my own maintenance and it has always been extremely reliable. I'd suggest getting 10 mm taller sport tires on 16" rims though for daily driving, makes it way more comfortable, a roof rack with a cargo box, keep it extremely aerodynamic though or you will feel a massive difference past 80mph, window tint for really hot days, the AC isnt powerful enough, and a hitch to hold bikes or coolers or whatever. I recently completed a drive from Davenport,IL to Denver, to Oklahoma city, to beavers bend park, and all the way back to denver then davenport again totalling close to 5000 miles! I brought 2 inflatable paddleboards, two chihuahuas, and a big dog cage, and all our clothes and whatnot for a week and a half and never once did I regret it, I got compliments all the time. I love being one of the only people with an abarth, the scarcity, performance, and reliability make this car one of my favorites I've ever owned. P.S. once you start to modify it hold on for dear life lol

Most fun car I have ever owned. I have a BMW roadster and although it is beautiful and fun the Fiat Abarth is my go to car. Compliments from male female young and old. The sound is thrilling once you turn the key. The 5 speed shifting smooth and let’s you throttle through each shift with ease. Mischievous it is and devilish too. That is why my license plate reads Little Imp
