Let me be the 1st to congratulate you Scott - Great to see faith in new Fiat products - That car looks very well and I love the wheels.

Be sure to give us some driving impressions as soon as you can.  ;)

Lovely looking ride mister! You are indeed an exceptionally lucky man 20vturbo! ;) I'm seriously jealous :-\

Graham and I had a play in a couple of these at the weekend at Brooklands, but unfortunately someone had taken the keys ::)

I'd have to say that I prefer the look of the Grande Punto Abarth to the 500 Abarth, and the SS, or Esse Esse, looks by far to be the better spec and engine ;) I see you have the leather seat option too - very nice, and so much more classy than the 'cloth' although that didn't seem too shabby either. 8)

Before I invest in one though I'll watch to see what the prices have done after a year or two. The last time I purchased a nearly new (ex-demo) Fiat the values plumetted after the first 18months, and now, 10 years on, I can get what was then a ?17k car for about ?500 :o

Got a test drive booked at the Abarth dealer in Reading so will let you know what I think too ;) but am looking forward to it ;D
