Fiat 500 Abarth.

I looked at the Abarth Guucci with my brother-in-law whilst out on a something to do afternoon. Just thaught they were being very tight & missing a selling point by not giving a Gucci bag with the car!!

I'm not a parent. so my opinion might help.

Get the car. I think its a fantastic little car. I absolutely love it, they're just stupidly expensive in Australia and my gf thinks it looks like frog vomit... sadly.

Having said that, is there a little part of you that wants to buy the car just so you can enjoy a quick nip to the grocery store on a sunday morning?

In terms of providing a parenting opinion, there's not enough room in the backseat to create... accidents. so that's a win for you too.

Honestly their is a lil bit of me that wants to go back to my modifying days and i see the Abrath as a good and unique platform(well in the US it is). Wife and daughter love the styling. My only gripe about the car more so than the sloppy shifter(which can be remedy with short shifter kit and weighted knob) is the very soft/light clutch feel(maybe a aftermarket clutch a possible solution)
I see their is fairly a decent aftermarket support.
The ideal Abarth 500 i want to get
