That would be a cool first car!

My daughter wants a bright red mini, but I have told her that she will have to wait a while.

She's only 11 years old!

Waiting for: - 2015 SD4 Dynamic, LUX pack, Auto, 5 door. Mauritius Blue. Santorini Roof........spare wheel.

RE: Fiat 500 Abarth.

Not sure about US insurance but that would be crazy over here & 160 BHP for a new driver usually only ever ends in disaster!!

RE: Fiat 500 Abarth.

Only thing i hate about it is the soft clutch feel.
We talking about car not the financial aspects of it or insuring it!

My daughter wants it in white with white wheels and the red mirror caps and side abarth decals.

RE: Fiat 500 Abarth.

I've got daughters of 20 and 17 both in college one away and one at home. Both want cars...dad could probably afford to buy them...but call me old fashioned but sometimes in life you have to be cruel to be kind...if you know what I mean.

Arrived 16th December 2011: 5 door Prestige SD4 auto in Barolo black with ambience interior, pano roof, privacy and 20" style 6 alloys.Very Happy

You sure you don't want her in an old Volvo for the first 6 mths for piece of mind Wink The fiat could be a reward for no incidents in that time.

We got our son a Fiat "whatever" 5 years old, to drive whilst he's away at uni. We pay for insurance etc but we didn't want him having a new car until he's got some time under his belt.

I got 500 Gucci as well, a very chick car, just a bit under power (like evoke). Im sure Abarth has more horses tied up under its mini hood.
