Fiat 500 Abarth + man??

[stabilio]

My plans for an R8 or V8 Vantage have now gone out the window. Price of fuel, amount of traffic, congestion and parking have now made me realise i just dont need a 'supercar' and would be just as happy in something very small making life a lot easier and cheaper.

I saw a Fiat 500 Abarth today (in white) which looked nice and gets pretty decent reviews. Small, nippy and good MPG with leather seats.
Only thing putting me off... is it a womans car?!

[birdcage]

No, not in Abarth guise

[Flintstone]

I'll be having one in a year or two when second hand values drop a bit.

[wackojacko]

Abarth SS rapid !

[Presuming Ed]

A very nice car the Abarth, quite fancy one myself.

[Sline]

I could'nt care less if people thinks of them as a womans car i think there awesome!

Saying that, I couldn't really say otherwise given what my daily driver is

They look a bit girly but i should think they are fun and pretty funky, but if you were considering an Aston Martin then surely there are plenty of other cars just a little bit more expensive than the 500 that are better everyday propositions than the little fiat?

Each to their own and all that but i`d much rather a more grown up hot hatch or an M3 or Impreza etc.

I was looking longingly at one in McDonald's car park the other day - I think they're great.

From here

Never seen one in black - looks better.

I dont see why not, if 6ft and 16 stone of me can carry this one off

[jsg612]

I almost bought one, just because it's small doesn't mean it's Girly. I've seen plenty of Chaps driving them.

who cares its up to you, think of all the people on here that love mx5, tt's etc and they have an image of being womens cars!

[FamilyDub]

There is a strange primer-grey 500 Abarth near me and I think it's the absolute shizzle! Nice wee car.

[stabilio]

One more question... would the stickers be easy to remove along the bottom on each side?
Love the look of the car but the stickers look at bit naff.

I wrote a (very basic) review of one for this very site.

I loved it! Cracking car

They look like loads of fun. Lift off oversteer anyone?

If you buy one of these for £40k you need sectioning. Unless you've already got a real Ferrari and you buy this so the butler can go shopping.
