Actually mine is decatted with an handmade muffler with two little silencers, sound is very deep and for long trips it's a pain for my ears

Saturday I'll upgrade with a completely straight exhaust!
yea i know that the US model is coming standard with the same setup at the dodge srt4 which are just straights and passes epa standards.

Hi JLMIAMI,

in 2008 i picked one of the first delivered to germany. now i have my second one, all stock, just this one is the esse esse- the one you can have in the US. I am more than satisfied with the little scorpion, i love small, turbocharged italian cars since the 90s. After more than 75.000 km on both of them - FUN, PASSION, POWER, STYLE. Feel free to ask anything. Stay tuned for the full review in english, online soon...Here is our application for MAKE IT YOUR RACE 2012 - Fiat 500 Abarth - Bloodfuel - Make it your Race 2012 - YouTube

I love this little car, they just came to vancouver and I took one out for a test drive. Was very impressed with it.

I would purchase one if I lived in the city but out the suburbs its just too scary to drive all the time. But great little car so much pep and awesome looks!

Hey thanks for your response! yea im seriously getting ready to pull the trigger on ordering one im waiting for my dealer to get the demo car because im 6"4 and although i drove the base 500 i want to make sure im comfortable in the abarth even though they are the same dimensions.

Yes, i think the first ones just arrived for sale in the USA.....

@ JLMIAMI The only things you have to keep in your mind

1. Don´t order a sunroof, you are too tall. i am 186 cm and it is no problem at all.

2. Treat them like italian ladies. don´t be too nice and too rough.

3. HAVE A LOT OF FUN!!!

Soon our full rev will be online for guys in english, because we have them here since 2008!
