My Yellow 2013 Fiat A500 lounge auto/six manual
I bought the car about a year ago, and yes it is my contribution to saving the world. An automatic with a six shift manual, I soon realized that the transmission gear styling is quite like a truck, either manual or automatic, fantastic. Everything is where it needs to be, and at best it is a four seater that really is a two-seater. My harshest critic said it is a car for one, well two can fit nicely and if it is children two more in the back. I dropped the back seat a while back to fit some tools, spare towels, pants. It has a/c, sirius satellite, c/d player (yes still buy it), usb port in the glove box, and moon roof. The control panels has everything I need. Yes, the pick up is not as fast, but I am not racing. The real deal is highway driving mode, it really holds at 120km for long periods, and the gas, this is BC Canada, goes through a tank in about 480 clicks but refuel at 440 at a 40 ltr/tank. And like a co-worker said, it is Shell in the tank. Some say the sound of the engine is nice, and others like the easy u-turns and parking. It really whips on lane changing, especially great going over the Alex Fraser Bridge. All in all, a great second hand car buy, try 2013 you'll like it.

Fun unless you want something practical
Full disclosure: I bought this car on a whim. My car enthusiast friend fully endorsed my decision, touting it had the "best stock exhaust ever". It's fun to drive in the city, especially under the raised train tracks in Chicago - you can actually hear the car roar. Unfortunately it's so far from practical it's not even funny. Inevitably the fun runs out in a couple of months and you look up trade-in value to see that this car holds absolutely zero value. And good luck explaining to the car dealerships that your Abarth is in fact different than a standard 500. I really wanted to love this car... it just didn't happen. Oh, and I had SILLY repairs two months in.
From Pop to this little monster
Why I like this car? because I'm a Scorpius, Why I get this car? because I'm a Scorpius, and why I keep this car? because it's a scorpion. Scorpius people always like choose something that others usually don't, many of my friends don't understand why I get a little car like this? but, why would I get a corolla? this little Abarth, it's small, it's easy to park in the city, it's mean, it's fun, it's fast, it growl like a super car(on the happy meal menu), it's full of excitement, it's characteristic. I enjoy driving it everyday without worry about finding parking space(I live in SF, you know what I mean if you've been here). The customer service is excellent in SF and San Jose dealer.
I wasted my money
I bought a new 2013 turbo Fiat with a manual transmission for $21,000. I drove it for 16,000 miles and the shape of the clutch pedal, ruined my left foot. I wanted to sell it but nobody was interested in owning a stick. I ended up selling it back to the dealer I bought it from for just $6100 dollars. While I owned it. I was annoyed with the horn blow when you lock the doors. I wasn't happy that this car did not have a door lock switch in the car. The seat seemed to be on a slant. When I sat straight up I noticed that I wasn't centered with the back rest and The seat wasn't center with the steering wheel. The designers most of seen these problems. Often, I had trouble getting third gear too. Make sure you really look a car over before you buy. I know I will be.
