by the way, that scorpion emblem is one of the coolest logos I've seen.

@PantstofryPWNZ Yes i agree! It just screams attitude doesn't it! It's because the chap who made the original Fiat 500 Abarth back in the 1950's was a Scorpio, and also he said the cars were "small and wicked" like a scorpion, and as they were rear engined rear wheel drive, they also had a sting in their tail! :)

Those roads look SWEEEEEEETTTT

@D41H4T5U Interesting story behind it as well I see!

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@D41H4T5U I saw a review from saabkyle04 (he's a kid who reviews any kind of car, all the time. you can check him out, he does in-depth reviews of everything except actual driving... although he's in the U.S. so im not sure how relevant he would be for you) of the Fiat 500 and the interior is very nice. The backseat really won't be much of a problem, but I'm not sure the Abarth will come out in time, I'm planning on buying in the next few months. Maybe in a few years... :(

[D41H4T5U]

@PantstofryPWNZ They beefed up the body/chassis somewhat which has added weight for the US market to cope with the larger vehicles. Yes it scores 5 stars in Europe, it's about as safe as small cars get, safer than a motorbike hey? ;)

Rear leg room isn't great for tall people tbh, especialy in the Abarth as it has larger bucket seats.

@D41H4T5U Man, such a great car. The only concern for me is safety somewhat, although I know in the U.S. the Fiat is expected to get 5 stars all around... but also space. I love that it is small, but I'm wondering if that will be practical for me. I know backseat passengers won't be comfortable, but do they fit? Thanks for answering all my questions, by the way.

(I found a stick version of the other car I was looking at, finally)
