I was thinking the same thing. I drive a lot and the company pays me 51
cents per mile regardless. My truck gets about 16 MPG. Ouch! The 500 can
get up to 40 MPG and looks great. We sell Fiats, so I drove one. With 101
horsepower, it doesn't have enough "get up & go" for me. I'll wait for the
Abarth coming out next year. In contrast, I drove a Mini Cooper S within a
few days of the Fiat and there was no comparison. The Mini is like a go
cart. Fast & fun! The Fiat was fun and shifted well, etc. Just no power.

Guys,
I am considering taking a road trip to the nearest Fiat Dealer in Daytona
to test drive a Fiat 500 Sport. Originally, I was considering getting one
because I need a daily commuter for my wife that would preferably take
regular unleaded (all my cars require premium and the Pantera gets octane
boost) but the 500 needs premium too. Anyhow, anybody driven one yet?
