Thoughts on the Abarth? I would rather have this than a GTI.

I'd lease one as a second / fun car.

I don't trust FCA to make anything reliable enough to justify a purchase.

Maybe look at a mini too since it ticks all the same boxes.

>new cars are faster than old cars

>fucked reliability
>janky interior
>small, useless back seats

Look past those, and you've got a really nice little hot hatch. I'd get one if I was in the market for a toy car to hoon around in.

fun as fuck
tiny
cheap to buy
amazing exhaust
reliable engine (no, really)
tuning potential

unreliable everything else
seating position is way too high
pain in the dick to work on since the engine packaging is so tight
depreciates super fast

I test drove one and it was the most fun car I've ever driven in my fucking life. I've driven a bunch of super high end cars for comparison because rich dad likes to try everything out there.

I know it's stupid given the reliability, but fuck I want one so bad now.

A mini is even less reliable m8

I'd get a Fiesta ST or a GTI before the Abarth. To many compromises with that thing although it does look fun.

Like I said: ticks all the same boxes
>shit reliability
>smol
>FWD
>stupid fun

The only thing in the FWD hot hatch market that I'd actually want to own is the new bit of toyota vaporware (Yaris GRMAFLGHD or whatever the fuck they call it)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat on that one. I know it can't deliver on the sound of the Abarth, but a tiny 3 door hot-hatch with nip reliability just sounds perfect.

It'd also be kind of cool to have a supercharger in a sea of turbos.

I would guess 4.5 to 5 to sixty mph.
For something that light that would be sweet.
For those guys that want to bring along everything in your mom's basement too it would really suck.
I want about 1500 hp and AWD and know Fiat can deliver if enough demand exists.
