just looked up on research guarage website and the 500abarth has gone up in price from 13600 to 14.150. is this because of the vat?or the price of the car has gone up aswell as the v.a.t going up?

Yep, it's due to the VAT increase in Jan.

I popped into my local fiat dealers last Sunday and they said that the prices were going up anyway as well as the VAT increase.
so is that the new total price now then?or excluding the v.a.t increase?
Jesus....you could get a bloody nice Twingo Renaultsport for that!
You could, but don't forget the VAT increase will hit Renault dealers as well
But not as much though, the prices are cheaper in the first place.
if you like the twingo why did you buy a 500?
Because I only like the Twingo Renaultsport! I'm happy with my 500, but if I had the money now I'd probably buy the Twingo Cup (The one without the features)
Or a 500 in a less popular colour.
How do you figure that? The Clio is a better performance car so that argument doesn't really hold up.It is, but you pay for what you get

Twingo.
Sorry I meant to say Twingo. The Twingo RS is also a better performance car than the Abarth....
When will people just accept that the French make the best handling hatches full stop?
nasty plasticky, unreliable twingo rs better than abarth 500??!!
hahaha you must be nuts.
You fool. French cars are no less reliable than Italian cars and who cares about the quality of the plastics when it handles properly?
i test drove both, and even disregarding the seriously crappy toytown interior its a feeble machine compared to the abarth.
if you're saying you'd rather own the 'my first pretend hatch' that is the twingo rs instead of an abarth 500 then you honestly need medical help.
that is all.
You obviously have no idea of what "handling" is. Most magazines agree with what Clarkson said the other week that the Twingo RS handles BETTER than the Abarth. I know it's not as nice inside as the Abarth but neither is the 100hp and everyone realises how great the 100hp is for the money.
Also.... I never said I'd rather own a Twingo RS. I merely said that it's a better performance car for the money! A fact which isn't lost on Lloyd who seems to be one of the few people here with at least 2 braincells to his name.
I agree with the Clio
My post was about the Twingo.Why does nearly every thread end up with people saying "so and so is wrong with Abarth" or "so and so is better than the Abarth"
Have any of you actually properly driven the Abarth to make such a judgement?If we're talking of performance then the Abarth wipes the floor with it, even around a track
Anyway, If you love the (cheaper) Twingo then why on earth did you folk out thousands on a 500?
Si
