I want one too desu. White, black stripes and bronze wheels. If a good new hot hatch comes down to this and a Fiesta, I'd prefer the one that looks like it has style.

Where's A Freakin' Audi? He got one recently.

the used one are going to be soon in /o/ territory

Get the 124 Abarth. It's better in every way.

What did he mean by this?

>>16785655
>Base 500 is $20,000
>Abarth 500 is $28,000

Base 124: $30,000
Abarth 124: $35,000

They are in different market brackets, you know. Not to mention, the 500 has 4 seats, which matters to some people. I know they're shit enough that they may as well not be there, but still.

>not just a sunroof but a completely retractable roof
I bet it weighs over 3,000 lbs
>2,512 lb curb weight
Not bad, I thought it would be the Mini Cooper S all over again.
The price isn't justifiable though.

If I could replicate that exhaust note, I would. Sounds pretty rad.

The 500's value drops like a rock. And it'll have more reliability problems and be harder to work on in the future. The 124 is worth it in the end.

>>16785466
What about the Abarth Punto? Is it any good? I hate the 500s looks but i sort of want an italian hot hatch.

>>16786265
>because I fully understand the depreciation of a car that's less than 2 years old

>>16788342
The powertrain is the only part of the car that has anything resembling reliability though.

Reading through forums and customer reviews, everyone seems to complain about squeaky brakes, failing wheel bearings, failing shocks, failing ECU, but hardly any mention of engine or transmission failure.

>squeaky brakes

A porsche-problem as well

>>16788881
I'm not OP.

>>16788881

Holy quints

>>16785466
Get it used or buy a Fiesta ST instead.

Not worth new-car money.
