I purchased the 500 Abarth because it is a car with great fuel economy, wonderful handling, surprising performance, and the ability to navigate city streets and small spaces with ease. When I was in the market for a vehicle, everyone I told about the 500 Abarth laughed or told me it was a horrible idea, though they had no experience with them, other than seeing it in a parking lot or two. Not many Fiat 500s exist in the state of Kentucky. However, those same people that put the car down are the ones that fell in love with it the day I showed it to them. It has a really mean growl, due to its factory straight-pipe exhaust system. It is really fast, due to its low weight, and turbo 1.4 4-cyl pushing 24 pounds of boost, & it handles very well.
Pros: -Comfortable for driver & front seat passenger. -Good cargo space with back seats folded down. -Good power with the Turbo. -Stylish and fun to drive. -Handling and braking are on point. Cons: -I don't like the turn signals because they're not sensitive. By that I mean that they don't seem to turn off on their own unless you do a 90� turn. -When I reverse, sometimes the gear box pops into neutral. I'm not yet sure if this is human error or the car's fault. -If you have the air circulating from the outside, it's a bit noisy. -Stereo could be better. -I don't think that there is a good place to comfortably rest my left arm, so on longer road trips, my arm gets tired.
I love my Fiat Pop- it is so cute- not just the exterior but also the interior which has a super cool modern yet classic look. The car is small on the inside- yet enough legroom to comfortably drive if you're taller. However, there is not much legroom in the back seat- which is not a concern for me. I feel safe in this car on the highway. It's a lot of fun to drive and has good features like Bluetooth capability. I love it!
