i would rather go for a Smart car than one of these bricks, if i was in the market for something stupid small and oddly shaped and of course not performance oriented in the least.

i never mentioned price. i simply said it's a POS, because it is. i guess you'd have to understand what a daewoo car was to get my point.

I live in Italy, i know what you're talking about. They are every ******* where here sadly. It's a brilliant design for a city car but the 500 Abarth essesse is just an overpriced panda that's slower than a cooper S. The normal 500 is an overpriced panda that at least doesn't look like a shoebox. To me the various american cars are oversized anyway. Engine, size, everything. Just sayin...
we like big cars that drink gas like water, what can i say?
That's a cute car, you definitely have to be secure in your manhood to drive that. Don't worry though, sometimes life throws you a curve ball but you will bounce back. Stay strong.

Given how cheap gas is in the US i can understand why
The Abarth \ Abarth essesse is actually a dude's car... I have yet to see a chick drive one in traffic.

It's a lot of fun to drive and gets great mpg. I will be driving quite a bit and needed the better gas mileage. Plus, I've had more issues than I would have liked with the rx8.
Go drive one before you make up your mind and do a little research. The NA car is quite different than the rest of the world.
And my rx8 was a manual with the sport suspension... Not automatic.
