I started this thread back in 2013 when the 500-based Abarth model was, indeed, new. My use of the word 'new' was simply to separate this model from the much earlier 1960's era Abarth models. DM
You know someone’s a true car guy when he has an F40 and still gets excited putting 10mm spacers on his Abarth .
hahah def - the abarth is emotional every single time i drive it!! will post pics!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I purchased my Abarth from an owner who had two of them. The one he sold me was his lil track toy. It had a cage in it, which I asked him to remove before taking ownership. He also had a GT3RS Mine came with KW V3 coilovers, magnaflow muffler, front big brake kit, and a tune. I’ve left everything he’s done the same as the car is hella fun to drive. I’ve driven completely stock ones and can’t say they are nearly as fun and exciting. He’s also done some questionable exterior mods that I would like to reverse, but the car came with so many goodies I just had to have it.
Plain jane really. My GF’s Abarth looks better than mine lol. Previous owner wanted the “clean” look, so started replacing all chrome with white. He even painted the rubber on the roof. Looks too monotone for me. Just haven’t found time to make the changes. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Looking good, truly a pocket rocket. Biggest problem I had was I didn't drive my Ferrari enough when I had my Abarth!
So much better Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So I took my Abarth out this past weekend. It was the second time I took it out this year (sadly). There are better hot hatches out there on paper but none make me smile like this one does. To think I was thinking of selling it... Fun fun fun!
If anyone is looking, there's a Black w/red stripes 2016 at my local Kia dealer 80K miles. Cloth interior, 16" wheels, automatic. They're asking just under 10K. Probably a lot of wiggle room at that price https://www.huffineskiacorinth.com/used-cars-denton-tx.html?Make=FIAT
Shined her up this weekend, got to get her ready for winter slumber: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ok, I'm officially obsessed with these and want one to daily. Are they decent in winter with dedicated snows?
I don't know about snows, but for a daily on rough roads I'd probably recommend the 16" Abarth wheels. The 17 and low profile tires will really shake you up.
