I still love the 500 Abarth, one will be in my garage as a project car, autocrosser, winter beater...something.

For its size, it is zippy and full of fun. And that is the whole point of this thing: fun.

Cue the "but reliability" crowd...

A Fiat 500 is at the top of my list for daughtermobile, because of its steep depreciation. I can get a 2015 Sport with less than 100,000 km for the price of a bent 300,000 km 12 y.o. Yaris that is more "reliable" but will need everything replaced due to wear & tear. Heck with a replacement drivetrain a 500 is still cheaper, And no rust. And still on warranty. And cuuuute.

Only drove a 500 Turbo with stick as part of my "other" career, and it was a hoot!

Completely agree about the 500. Horrid new cars, great used guys because they're so cheap. Pretty soon they will be disposable money. Anything goes wrong, have it hauled off.
