    Forget the Fix It Again Tony abarth. It's all cheezy plastic inside and a total waste of money.

    A much wiser choice with great bang for the buck is the new performance upgraded 2013 Hyundai "Veloster" with a turbocharged 201-HP engine.

    Heck, even the Veloster's tail-lights look like the VX's headlights!!!

    before you do anything

    Take a test drive. That should solve the issue.

    Garbage. My buddy has had the regular Fiat 500 for a about a year and cant wait to get out of it. Already looking at new cars. The sad thing is, it does NOT hold value at all. He is totally upside down. It has already been in for a timing/misfiring issue, front bearing replacement (only one side needed it but they did both), and a leaking around the windshield. 1 YEAR OLD!

    Abarth or not, I would pass on that garbage. I couldn't afford the chance.

    Much better choice! I've seen a couple of these and they really turned my head. I like the roofline, wide rear stance, and (probably) MPGs.

    Where the Veloster made me turn my head, the FIAT turns my stomach. What an ugly POS. J-Lo's image dropped a couple of notches with her endorsement of that worthless car.

    Frankly given her status as a reality show judge can it really go any lower? I thought they used her because she and the Fiat car company are the same age
