Added a car to my garage over the weekend....
I picked up a new 2019 Fiat 500 Abarth on Saturday. It's definitely different from my Corvettes and F-350. It's a hoot to drive and will use much less gas than the truck on my daily commute.

Did you buy that thing at Toys R Us?
Cute Skoot. You need to tint the windows if you want to be and slam it on stock bolts!!
Have fun and enjoy the savings at the pump!!

They don't sell them at toys'r'us anymore as they went out of business. I still have the 2 Vettes for the weekends!

Nice car. I acquired a Mini Cooper S a few months back and have to agree with you, these little hot hatches are a freaking riot. They're not fast outright, but they're zippy, and a ton of fun. Totally different experience than a Corvette, and for me it's a little more fun because I can drive all the way through a few gears without going to jail.
Enjoy!

Small cars like that with a manual transmission are so much fun to drive. I have an 18 Z06 A8 as my daily and I think one of the most fun cars I have driven is a Mini Cooper John Cooper Works with a manual.

Agreed! I'm manual obsessed though. All of my cars are manuals, even my 1 ton truck.

I LOVED my 2017 STI. I miss it a ton but traded it for my dream vette. It was the best daily driver out there, spacious, comfortable, with a great chassis, an engine with character, absurd amounts of grip, and was just the best. The steering feel made the car. Once my vette is paid off, I will almost certainly get another one, they're truly awesome cars, massively underapprecuated because the 310hp they make is pretty modest by today's standards. But they're probably the best drivers car you can buy new today.

Best of luck with the new car. Yes, those small cars can be fun - drive it like you stole it.
