Liberty doesn't count. Only had that "truck" for 40 days.

Ok, you're off the hook. But I still think the Fiat is a chick.

Thanks for the interior pic. Good quality interior. Those pedals look extremely well placed. Seat bed seems like it has just the right amount of hug... But it looks like shifting may be tedious over long periods of time. Seat rides kinda high and the armrest is really small. Lots of air between driver and shifter... The positive though is the shifter is angled so it may provide relief from the awkward center design by possibly giving you positive grip on the shift.

Yea pedal placement is ideal. A couple things I don't like however, my right knee rubs up against the shifter column and gets irritated on longer rides. Also, as you mentioned, the armrest is very small and doesnt provide much support. Other than that, its a comfy ride. Suspension absorbs a lot.

The clutch is also the lightest I have ever driven. You can barely feel it, which I imagine would make it difficult for newer drivers. I have a c5 z06, and I must say, it would be easier to teach someone how to drive the z06 vs the abarth.

Thanks Econ. Now I know I'm not teh ghey for wanting one of these. I think they look like a crap load of fun.

Hate to break it to you but you're a flaming ghey for wanting one. :icon18: This is right up there with the Bettle Turbo on the ghey scale.

Sounds like someone isn't comfortable with their sexuality. ;)

Congratulations on the Abarth. I bought one when they first came out last year for my Wife and we both love it. Its a blast to throw around and it has a stock exhaust that just sounds great. My Wife tracked an Abarth as part of the new owners package track event you get and loved it. Enjoy!

This our 2012 Abarth, the Z and the Jag.

Cute, but like the Mini they just seem expensive for what you're getting. Then I remember how much I spent on my own little two seater :icon17:
