I actually test drove a lease return 2016 Abarth last week. Not amazing, but a great DD. The Fiesta ST is still a way more performance ortiented car.

That being said, I’d rather drive the Abarth every day.

These would much more palatable if they were shorter. A LOT shorter, but Youtube rewards length though so...

These are like cinemasins in that they are overly nitpicky and drawn out just to boost the algorithm and are insufferable because of it.

The video slider is your friend, friend. I usually start off with the diriving impressions right away and then come back to the Quirks & Features™

I usually don’t bother. The driving impressions are vague and uninformed and quirks and features are grating.

I’ve been thinking this for a while now and have my eye on used ones to pick up in a year or so. But I disagree with Doug that a used Abarth 500 coupe is the most fun you can have for $9k.

A used Abarth 500 cabrio wins that award...until it starts leaking. But that’s the one I want.

I wondered why Doug transitioned to 20+ minutes video

I don’t agree with your sentiment, because exhaust noise, but yes, Abarth!

Haha yeah I was lusting after your car in a different thread last week. Glad to know child seats aren’t impossible.
