Re: Fiat 500 Abarth SS challeging my 147 ownership

I Know, but the 147 is at times lacking power. It is not the fastest car I have owned, that was my 146 Ti, but the 147 does not feel like a drivers car.

It is fast enough, has all options I could wish for, but at times she really is not the joy in driving I am looking for. Under 1,800 revs the engine is as good as dead, gear change is slow and she leans over in corners more than I care to put up with.

Dutch magazine Autoweek has mentioned the 500 Abarth being sold from June 2008. Fancy a test drive Hans?

BTW: great Job on the Spyker site! Rijk must feel proud.
