I'm undecided about this car. At first introduction I thought it was exactly what I wanted from the Fiat 500 -- most of the Abarth stuff in a less "shouty" package. No offense, I know you have one, but I'm starting to feel like I'm too old for a car that's so visually... ummm... dynamic.

But then, the price floats close enough to the Abarth that you have to wonder whether it wouldn't be worth it to just go all the way and get the real deal.

Well I like I said it's not for everyone but for those who have one or have driven one there aren't many complaints,if any. At least with the 500 Turbo it's a nice compromise between those who want a 500 with a little more "oomph" than the regular model but can't shell out money for a full blown Abarth.
