Looked at one about 2 weeks ago.
No back seats worth talking about.
No hatchback - just a boot !
Asking €32,500 on a cash sale for a 2012 model !
Road tax p.a. around £700 +
I can now see the attraction and take back what I said about the mid life crisis !
WOW!! £700 Tax!!! That's one of the reasons for not going down the Abarth route.. TA £0 Tax, 1.2 £30 Tax, A500 £175!!
Insurance on the A 500 would be a lot more also.
I see exactly where you're coming from here, but I have my MX-5 for modding and a Land Rover for fun. I also still have the Panda. The Abarth is an amazing car without doubt, I'm after something which costs nothing to own... Maybe, one day the MX-5 will be replaced with an A500??
