Only outside the local Fiat dealers, I haven't seen any on the road yet.

Looks wise I still prefer the Mazda.

Saw one in the Netherlands go past a couple of times. Didn't form a strong impression, but I reckon it looked better than that pic suggests. I'd still have the MX-5 though because by all accounts it's a better car...

Yes, and drove the abarth version. Not bad but rather awkward to get in and out of when your 6ft 2.

seen quite a few I prefer them to the MX5 looks wise but Jap bits work always. Sadly they too have a badly offset pedal box which is uncomfortable for my wife and I to drive.

Saw a couple today on the North York moors. Fairly dull, unfortunately (the Fiat that is, the Moors were beautiful as always).

Saw one and liked it. A useful alternative if you don't like the MX5 styling (or just want to be different).

O/T Caught a glimpse of the new Maserati SUV and the new Alfa saloon a few minutes apart on Saturday. Liked both.

The Maserati SUV is just sick, but now RR is making one too and the Lambo SUV coming soon, can't wait to see that one biggrin

Yes. Very taken with the Abarth. Had a couple out on tests now, and may well order one in the new year.
