Say hello to my little friend... - DDX - 07-11-2011 11:45pm
Was supposed to get the Evoque today, but as it hasn't come - so I thought i'd share a few photos of the car I bought to replace my Cayenne just over a month ago.
Fiat 500c Abarth Record Monza - absolutely loving it and still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.

Very nice D - loving the quad exhausts!

Thanks mate, they sound phenomonal.

is it pretty quick? We will be finally getting Abarth here, stateside and actually want to check them out!

Feels quicker than the figures suggest. The engine suits the size/weight of the car well and being a turbo theres a lot of room to play with in regards to getting more bhp out of it.
Ithink the cooper s is quicker but coming from a cayenne, the high driving position suited me well.
Definitely worth checking out, see if you can get an esseesse to drive - its remapped to 160bhp and has different brakes and suspension.

my local fiat dealer says we will get the 160hp and will offer in house tuning bumping to 200hp which is would be my ideal fiat 500

A huge difference in physical size from a Cayenne to a 500

@Joe - Wow! Sounds mental, the tributo ferrari edition here (which costs £40,000) comes in at 180bhp but 200 sounds pretty mental.
@The Valeter - it was actually quite a relief. I live in london and spend the majorit of my time in the car alone so couldnt justify having such a large car. Despite its size, doesnt fell tiny inside.
