It's hard to argue with people against their love for the Abarth's character, design, and sound. I thought @ Dezoris did a good job of touching that point in his video. Both are great choices in the segment. |
That's a well put together comparison. I really enjoyed watching that segment. I think I would've really enjoyed the Fiat as a second car. It's love/hate with the Abarth, and the owner's have so much passion for the brand. The FiST would serve as a better daily/track car for me. But of course, twins>both
