When i purchased my Fiat new in 2013 i did not know much about this car but saw it online went to get it...i have the guacamole green and i am so happy with its performance. I have had a Honda, Toyota, Chevy, Mitsubishi, and Saturn...but this is the BEST car i have ever purchased. The turbo button for highway driving is awesome. My Fiat is so quick, i always have cars or trucks! Race me...i win at take off! I only have 14k on my car and i have gone to Vegas and Sedona twice...great on gas!
Best car ever

I have before a 500 sport for 2 years and 3 weeks ago I trade it with 14k miles for the abarth 2013. Fun factor is there every day I drive it. Sales person at the fiat dealer in cary was the best. I was looking at the mini s and the new subaru Brz. The abarth is the best value for the money.

I bought mine new in 2013 (current date is 7/15/19). Carlo now has 41k miles-and I replaced a battery and a set of tires. NOTHING else has been needed. No recalls (unlike my 07 Honda Element) and no problems.

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.

I have had my Fiat 500 Pop for several years now. Bought it with 45,000 km and now passing 175,000 km and still running strong. 4 speed manual gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive.

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.

Buyer Beware: 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth first year

2013 FIAT 500 Abarth 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 5M)

It stalls often and is disabled on the road. I called Fiat of Denver Service only to discover Fiat won't look at it for over a week, with no loaner cars. I was told only Fiat dealers will work on them now -- not other nearby Chrysler dealerships. It's not like there are any close to home. We had high hopes for Fiat but are sadly as disappointed. Too much fear, uncertainty and doubt to risk considering the brand again. So sadly we can no longer confidently refer or recommend a dangerous Fiat.
Disappointed

2013 FIAT 500 Pop 2dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

I'm so disappointed in my 2013 Fiat 500 POP. We have enjoyed the car for three-years. In the last few months, we noticed a ticking noise on the right side when the car is in motion so we bring it to Fiat of Manhattan for a check-up. I'm told the entire bottom of the car, including all the rims, are bent - as if the car bottomed-out - resulting in a repair cost of ~$3K. I live in NYC, purchased the car from Fiat of Manhattan. 90 percent of my driving takes place in NYC. I try to avoid potholes when possible - which are everywhere on our NY roads - and I've never hit one that made me say, oops, that broke my car. Now, the Fiat is absolutely horrible when it comes to any bumps. They all feel like you're getting hit by a cement truck. But for a three-year old car that hasn't experienced anything other than driving in NY, I'm astounded that the car wasn't built properly to handle what any other car can. So now we're worried that another three-years from now, we'll be doing this all over again because of a faulty, or cheaply made undercarriage. This makes me sad. I want to love my Fiat, but I'm so angry at the manufactures for marketing a car for city living but not backing it up with the framework of a vehicle that can endure city roads. Boo.

I'm an uber eats driver around the Chicago area, and this car is PERFECT for the city! I can squeeze into parking spaces, even when people park all crooked and in my spot. Parallel parking is a breeze. The car is also pretty good on gas- 29-31 mpg city/highway. I'd give this a 5/5, but I've had some problems. I got it at ~70,000 miles, and around 76,000 my alternator shut down and so my electrical and transmission systems went wack before I could fix it. I've also had to replace the front headlight twice in the past year, not sure what's going on with that. I took a minor hit to the back in a car wash when my car went in reverse without my knowledge, so the shifting is almost too easy. My hatch was pretty sunken in, so prepare for a good amount of damage for any little hit.

I searched for 6 months for the Fiat 500 Abarth that I wanted and bought it just 2 weeks ago. It is a very well-engineered car and great fun, especially with the 5 speed manual transmission. It is too bad more people didn't discover the fun/value before Fiat stopped importing them to the US. I think it is a great car, fun to drive, and very comfortable. It has a lot of amenities not usually offered in a car of this price range.

I particularly liked the fact that the color was yellow, a smoother line than the older model. It was not a 2013. I like that the car itself has all the bells and whistles in the control consoles. I have always thought of the vehicle as a two person car and this does not disappoint, although you can have a third in the back two seater or two children. The fact that I can switch to manual or stay on automatic is good for extra speed on uphill bridges, and for speeding up. I do recommend that you stay on auto. This model has a moon roof, never really use that and actually like the fact it is not a convertible, and I always thought I was a ragtop man. It has air and airbags, and the body is not plastic, a plus. It was second hand and the blogs say service the brakes promptly. It also uses regular, and Shell is probably great, dealer sales says go with the tiger, and Wesco seems compatible too. Defintely European handling, and the braking system is impressive. I have heard the Abarth is speedy acceleration but the start of this model is quick but, yes acceleration is not there but at 105 kph, it picks up quick and can hold 120 kph for a duration, how long needs to be tested still and I hope for at least two hours if not four. I like the car, not for a city speedster, but for two, easy parking in a city, Greater Vancouver, that parking is getting harder to come by, and turning radius excellent.
