We got one as a rental in Hawai'i. 500, non-turbo automatic. Sweet baby Jesus that thing was slow. Like, dangerously slow. The freeway was almost not an option because it did 0-60 in approximately 1.37 years.

Pluses: Roomy and never had trouble finding a parking spot.

Abarths sound mean and I still want to test drive one.

I hate the seating position in those! In order for me to reach the steering wheel correctly my knees are jammed into the dash.

The dash is too tall so I had to sit very upright. Kinda reminds me of a PT Cruiser. It felt like I was in one of these chairs, sans the knee pads:

It is slow, but i dont care about that cuz im in traffic to and from work, but what kills me is that i almost got a whiplash just trying to get out of my driveway. You touch the breaks and the car slams to a stop!!

I felt the same way. Test drove a 500e and Abarth cabriolet. The Abarth with the top down is lulz. But it felt like it was going to roll over at any hint of a turn.
