Get her this 500 for about $3-4k, cheaper, more space and cheaper.

On a more serious note, I wouldn't mind test driving a Fiat 500.

I'm currently driving a 2012 500 Pop at work and I find it very underwhelming. Though that may have something to do with the fact that it's an automatic. At 50k miles the interior is absolutely falling apart, so that doesn't help either.

Buy it. Buy it now or I'll be having it shipped to Denver.

Watch out for the AWD ones though. My moms cost thousands in repairs on the AWD and ford never figured out what was wrong but it was a late 2004 build 2005 model so it was a lemon. the CVT was also constantly terrible too sending into limp mode on the highway one time too many. I hit a deer in it though and barely felt a thing even though the drivers door wouldn't open because i pushed the fender into it the deers butt took out the headlight . Biggest trunk and back seat i have ever seen though

Shes got good taste. But, I know a ton of dealers seem to be giving new ones away. Mine has leftover 2013 for $17000! What year and asking price on this?

Fantastic! For $2K more than a Honda Fit, you just bought yourself a serious ride. You're going to have a blast!

Yeah if you have a local Fiat dealer go look for leftover 2013 Abarths. They are going for $16500-17000 brand new!

Nice! I'll be there pending the USA's result against Belgium in the World Cup. They win, and I'll be downtown. If they lose, I'll be in Bolingbrook

I had an '06 with CVT, the CVT is awful. But the car was otherwise great. I now have a SHO with a proper 6 speed auto, lol.
