500 Hello all, a newbie from Ontario.

[YruiY]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie from Ontario Canada, just got a new 2012 Fiat 500 sport in pearl white and i'm loving it. She is attracting alot of attention from other drivers since I got her. She is a fun little go-cart.
Anyways, I'll include some pictures soon.

Congrats. Whereabouts in Ontario are you?

Greetings, from one newbie to another.

Yup, they're pretty rare around here in Nova Scotia as well. Never thought I'd be comfortable with the attention but mine is the only one in my area...I feel like a proud momma or something when people do the double-take or walk up to it and look inside. LOL

I guess the dealer who sold it to me wasn't kidding when he gave me a little stack of his business cards to give out....

Thanks for a warm welcome, I'm in the Mississauga area (Mavis & Britannia).

Very interested to see how the 500 handles the winters over that way. I've had mine in the snow a few times

and

and noticed that making progress is much easier with ESP turned off. Mind you I was also on summer tyres so that was possibly a factor.

Yup, i will have to see how she will handle our Canadian winters.
I plan on getting a new set of 17inch white spoke rims (like the ones on the Abarth) for summer use. Then get all 4 snow tires on the stock 16inch rims.
Front wheel drive + 4 snows tires + light weight vehicle should = good handling in the snow.
