General Abarth owner jumped ship - but maybe coming back!

[fasterdad]

Quick note just to say what a great forum this is and thanks to all who contribute. I Know I have only had my Abarth for a very short while but I was offered a great deal for it and have decided to sell. No particular reason really as I love the look and sound it makes but must say that performance wise it's looks are better than it performs. No disrespect to other owners it just lacks a little bit for me. Thanks and keep upthe good work.

What you getting next?

Good by mate ..I hope you enjoyed the experiance ..just a shame it was the abarth you bought as I have said many times its not the best of engines and silly gearboxes ..good luck with the next one whatever it may be

 

[coyotes_uk]

Yes sad to see you go! What are you getting now?

 

[fasterdad]

No idea what is next but the Abarth went today a little sad but I think something like a Saab Aero or anything around the 220 bhp area. Thanks again, John.

Don't buy a Vauxhall Aero! Can I suggest sir considers a FIAT Coupe 20vT; bang on the 200bhp. They don't wear Dame Edna Everage glasses either...

 

[coyotes_uk]

Get a Mazda 3 MPS! I want one some day!

Seat LEON CUPRA R 225, get REVO to remap and you have got 270+bhp = A great car!

I had the 180Cupra (pre bodykit) Mapped to 220ish, I would love to have that car back

Hmmm... RX7 or if you´re feeling classy a 93 Porsche 944 S2 Turbo... way over the 200 mark and pretty cheap to get one in mint condition now a days, and since most parts are ford, you don´t have to pay porsche maintanance costs as any garage will happily deal with it.

I know i'm gonna get a battering for saying this but..... get a f*rd mondeo st220, the clue is in the title

Thanks for all suggestions I have decided to leave it till the new year as there is no rush and I prefer to have something come along rather than chase after it. Seem to get a better deal then.....lol.

Hi all, I know it is over a year since I posted and have had a few cars since.....lol. I am the owner of a 53 plate Scooby WRX now but am thinking of coming back to the fold as it sits on the drive too much 900 miles in 4 months!! So I am going to sell it and get another Abarth woohoo and have some cash in me pocket for a change.

wise choice... or how about a schumi stilo, with some of the prodrive goodies

 

[volxstu]

Yeah dont go for the sillyspeed again. Get it remapped and an induction kit and you should have exactly the sort of car that you want.

good choice

 

[fasterdad]

Would love a schumi but too near the value of my Impreza and it will sit on the drive most of the time so will probably go for a manual Abarth again.
