Everything is falling apart from the inside out. I have already needed a new clutch, fuel pump, and steering column. Worst car ever. Loved it in the begining....... great on gas and fun to drive. BUT NEVER would i recomend this to ANYONE. Oh yeah i have under 30,000 miles on this. I'm going to feel terible even selling this to someone.

If this car doesn't appeal to you, you're dead.

Fun. Fun. Fun is what you should know about this car. It feels fun, sounds fun, looks fun, and can be used practically as well. I've had mine since February, and have put almost nine thousand miles on it in those three months. I'm someone who usually puts less than a thousand miles a month on my car, but this little monster keeps humming to me to drive more, drive faster, drive farther. It's simply the most fun I've ever had on tires. My one complaint as a driver is the manual shifter has a long throw, more like an old tractor than a sporty car, but there are several inexpensive (~$120) aftermarket adapters available that fix that nicely. So go try one. My car's not the quickest, or the fastest, but roll the roof down, blip the throttle, and you'll be caught too. If you aren't, call the undertaker. Update: 14 months in, and I'm not dead yet.

By FAR the worst car I have ever owned. From the day I drove it off the lot it had nothing but problems. Steering column replaced twice because of thump when i turned the car, struts and strut mounts replaced, starter replaced 3 times, both regulators broke on power windows, same headlight burned out at LEAST a dozen times, wheel bearings replaced twice, jounce bumpers replaced twice and never resolved the issue,broken shock, exhaust kept loosening up,never resolved. The final straw was after only having 11k miles on it the tires needed replacing because of all of the issues ruined them and Fiat did nothing to remedy. Traded the car after 20 months w/11k miles and only got $7500. DO NOT BUY

Bad car. Bought it at 20k miles. The cheap interior fell apart. I’ve always maintained it at Fiat dealerships , and this last time I took it in due to a weird sound they notified me I need a new engine for $8,000 after parts and labor. Keep in mind the car has a clean title, no crashes ever, and 45k miles.

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
