The New Fiat 500 Abarth (only) Thread

Speaking of oil, I've never had a car that burns so little oil between changes. Like zero. Stuck right in the middle of the dipstick.

Also speaking of Fiat, looks like dealers are becoming rare like hens teeth. According to the fiat site, the closest to my home (in CT) is in Larchmont NY, then Long Island (!) and New Jersey (!!!).

There is i hope still a Fiat/Alfa dealer in Danbury. They were very good with my warranty work.

They do seem to burn some oil, and will trip a ck engine light if low

 

Danbury is now only Alfa and Maserati. I guess they'll keep servicing Fiats if you want to take it there but you can't buy one there anymore I think.

They opened just a few years ago, after the dealer in Wallingford closed. Thought they were crazy for opening but....was glad to see them

 

Digging the "Fiat 500C Spiaggina"

Your 500 Abarth does not burn any oil? Mine does. I just thought it was about it being a turbo. Does anyone else's 500 Abarth burn oil?

 

Some yes.

 

Incredible. My sisters 13 Mini S is burning about 3 qts a month. Dealer says this is normal...

Think I can fit a 2017 abarth and a 1966 500 in a garage bay that is 19ft 7 inches by 11 ft?

I have a 2012 and a 1970. If I get a chance I'll put them bumper to bumper tomorrow and see.

 

Thanks bro - appreciate it. Just did the math after googling both cars dimensions - seems like there will be a bunch of space left over lol!!

already have 2 lifts in the garage. want to fit 6 cars in 3 bays and dont want a 3rd lift

 

I’m likely going to order one before the week is out. I’m blown away that these things are so hot. Can’t decide between the two greys... and I doubt the swatches they have at the store are going to help...

one of the funnest cars ever!

 

the fiatusa website is still building 2017s??

 

Apparently?

There were two grey incoming last month that didn’t have a sunroof. I told them to call me regardless. They both sold with out going on the floor...
Two more coming in this month and she couldn’t tell me if they had sunroofs or not.

Im thinking I just put some money down and one will show up with a sunroof?

Can’t figure out what the better color is though? One seems very dark and the other very light. God knows I won’t see one in person before hand.

I ordered mine so I got exactly what I wanted. I'm nor familiar with the new colors but these days it doesn't really matter as you can always wrap it later.

Are they discounting them at all? I paid full price to get what I wanted and happy I did.

PS. I have a sunroof!
