In a couple hours I'm headed to my local Fiat dealership and buying a 500 Abarth.
Am I making a mistake? I've spent the last month deliberating between the Fiesta ST, Golf GTI, Kia Forte5 SX, Toyobaru, Civic Si, and the Abarth. I've test driven all of them, and I found the Abarth to be the most fun, the most responsive, and just generally suited me the best.
I don't know if I'm gonna hate myself in a month. Please, talk me out of it if I'm making a mistake.
>Am I making a mistake?
you mean aside from being a hothatch faggot? no, you aren't, 500 is kawaii as fuck
You gon buy a pretty awesome car m8

>hot hatch faggot
There's no need to be so insecure, anon
It's a nice car for racing indoors
>>14760554
Personally I love the snag Abarth too, but I'd go for the civic SI or the GTI either will be more comfy and practical in the long run, even though you might sacrifice a tiny bit on handling
They both look like cars a man would drive as well IMHO
The 500 is awesome but.. Kinda looks kawaii
>>14760554
Lucky man, but check this out and tell me that don't look sexy
>>14760555
I already have an older model F-250 Super Cab pickup (which I inherited) that I use for daily driving... but it's pretty boring, pretty cumbersome, and not great on gas.
I wanted something more practical.
>>14760574
I'm a faggot so I don't care how I look driving it. I care about the way it drives, not the way it looks.

I enjoyed the 2-door Golf GTI, but in the configuration I wanted, the dealership wanted nearly $10k more than I would spend on the 500 Abarth.
>>14760591
Best part is that I have a gun rack, with a Benelli Supernova Tactical and a Sig P229R in the glovebox.
out of all those options I would get the 500 as well
>>14760583
that's pretty ugly 2bh

Why not get a 124 Spider instead?
>>14760759
>not out yet
>priced at $40k
>roadster
>not making 230 hp as promised
Most unreliable car available for sale today.
Highest buyer remorse scores at JD Power.

Disregarded.
Worst depreciation of any new car sold in America.
>>14760554
the only car you've looked at that sends power to the proper wheels is shit
look harder
>>14760554
yes you are, wait for the 124 abarth you faggot
>>14760554
It's supposed to be a fun car and the engine sounds great. But the reliability is absolutely horrible, and you'll look like a massive faggot driving that around... When ever I see anyone driving a fiat I assume they're dumb woman who didn't do any research and just bought it because it looks cute.
I would get a Miata, 2.5l Mazda3, Focus ST, Fiesta ST, or Golf GTI instead
>>14762696
It's also ranked last in its class by Car and Driver...
>>14762721
I love how all of these understate the Focus RS price. With dealer markups, the places here want $47k.
>>14761007
>40k
wat? it's going to be like $28k
>>14762696
literally the biggest meme reply in this ITT
>>14762747
C/D estimated $32k or higher and they're usually pretty spot-on.
>>14760554
Yeah, you're making a mistake. You're buying a slow, bloated piece of shit that will show you why Fiats are shit in a couple of years time
>>14762721
Jesus are us models that fucking cheap?
>>14762738
>mfw people actually pay almost 50k for a hopped up econobox that sounds like farts and gets blown away by a teenage girl's V6 mustang
The fact that it looks so fucking stupid would make me cringe too hard to drive it. You dont have that "its an old, cheap beginner car" card that you can use to defend yourself. People will literally think of you as the biggest ugliest faggot around
>>14762803
found the fiat 500 driver
denial always comes first
>>14762824
hahha :-D
>>14760554
Gj op, now drive it 100k miles then sell it to me when it depreciates to 5k I'm jelly af
>>14760554
Got an abarth 500 myslef, had it for last 3 years. Fun car to drive and a pretty nice finish too it. Also think its looks pretty dam good. Bad thing about it is the ride, pretty harsh but if you can livw with that like I have then you will enjoy it. Always surprise's people when they come for a drive init Plan on having mine for a long time, still aint bored of it yet!
>>14760554
i just dont understand why those are the choices
brand new too?
at that price there are so many options
personally id go with an 07 m6
nat. aspirated v10 for under 25k? thats a deal to me
>>14762801
It's got about 50 more horsepower than the V6 mustang, along with being way lighter and having AWD. So no, it won't get beat by a teenage girl's Mustang
It seems cute and fun, but it's really not that fast. If I wanted something 'practical and sporty' I would get a WRX.
>>14762855
>implying it will make it to 100k miles
>>14762721
.. did you take this picture with your phone instead of just screen capping?
>>14763118
I was posting from my phone while sitting near my computer, so yes.
Literally bottom of the barrel shit tier reliability. Why the fuck would you ever want one?
>>14762721
what's the difference between st and rs?
>>14762810
Don't be upset pal
>>14763444
ST is cheaper, less powerful, and FWD
RS is more expensive, (overpriced imo since dealers usually jack the price up) more powerful, and AWD
