Fair point, lot less girly than the basic model. My neighbour has the basic one and looks s**t, very, very plastic looking and the interior  :sick:
Saw a few of the ABARTH's in Rome recently, I know everyone in Italy drives like they own a F1 Ferrari but on the roads outside the city, they was quick!!

GF's had two non abarths now. one 1.2 one 1.4. Decent enough, perfect city car, but the wipers jump up and down at over 80mph  :grin:

Kinda embarrassing to get driven about in one though lol

like crap in a farmer's field down here in the ol' smoke. Not bad when they have a bit of body kit on and imagine they are fun with a bit of poke the Abarths will have, otherwise i wouldn't even take a lift in one  :laugh:

My brother bought one which his wife now uses as her daily - Its the Essesse version and a pretty cool little car.  Not sure I would want one myself - not cheap if I remember correctly.

Think its done less that 10k miles in 3years!

The Fiat 500 is a dressed up Ford KA, which is a very good car.  I think the Abarth looks great.

I like the arbaths esp in white but wouldnt have one personally as think they are a bit of a birds motor. They are quite common down here and theres normally a meet of at least a dozen at the Lakeside MAccy D's every few weeks  :signLOL:

But I have just stumbled across this whilst googling them and kinda changed my mind (dread to think the price):
