No

[Benjy911]

No

[Deerfoot]

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

Looks wise I still prefer the Mazda.

[MajorMantra]

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...

[wack]

I saw one yesterday with a different coloured bonnet on the east lancs road, assumed it was an abarth

[briang9]

yes, there was one at the car hire co when we were on holiday a couple of weeks ago, quite nice actually

[Jag_NE]

saw one at the NEC classic car. thought it looked it great.

[megenzo]

a girl at my work has one, its very nice.

[manracer]

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

[spaximus]

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.

[willmagrath]

Yeah I saw one, I'm into the whole stance or lowering scene, but it sits so high!!!

Yes, Seen this just Yesterday afternoon in an underground car park. Abarth 124 it was in black. Made decent noise on idle, nice car.

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

No, but I've seen several made of metal/plastic/rubber.

[Doofus]

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