Traded my Abarth 2 years ago for a BMW 228i. The BMW is great and a much better car overall, but I do miss the rowdy little Abarth. I've actually been looking around for clean used ones and there don't seem to be that many around. I probably should have kept mine, but my local Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealer service department is the absolute worst and I just couldn't deal with that circus anymore. And they totally gave up on Fiat and I doubt they had any actual Fiat techs there anymore. If you have an Abarth, please take care of it because I think the prices have bottomed out. In 10 years they'll be going for $30k on BringATrailer!

Gosh what to say, this car has a lot of personality and has been surprisingly versatile to live with. I test drove it as a joke and ended up taking it home with me. 5 years later and it’s done highway commutes, track days, city parking, day care runs and spirited Sunday drives. Nearly everybody is surprised and delighted after going for a ride, it’s just a hilariously rowdy Italian [non-permissible content removed]. These days it just stays car show clean in the garage under a car cover for the occasional jaunt. Let me list off some cons to owning this car. It’s tough to keep 100%, there’s always some bulb burning out or worn out bearing or plastic bit falling apart. Some parts will wear out early and others were just half baked from fiat and can be improved with aftermarket bits. The gas tank is too small and this car will eat oil and tires. It’s not a Toyota or Mercedes Benz, the inside looks like it’s made of melted children’s toys. A great part of owning this car has been it’s incredibly low cost. Purchase price was under 20k, good mpgs, affordable parts(easy to find too),and insurance is low because fiat 500. Saved a ton in speeding tickets since this is the least hostile looking car around. Frank Stephenson the famous car designer led the styling of this car and it shows. I’m always looking back at this car thinking “did the proportions change while I drove it?” It will look longer/shorter/taller/wider depending into the angle and lighting. Different sculptural features will reveal themselves. Let’s talk performance, this has been a commuter for most of its time and it’s certainly fun and fine all year round. Recently I’ve been messing with it though and it is simply uncomfortably fast with a couple of simple upgrades. Intake pipe, go pedal, torsion bar, summer tires, boost leak kit, wastegate adjustment, short throw shifter and you’ll be flying from point to point. I think these will be future classics and there are a lot of them squirreled away at the back of the garage.
