I haven't driven an Abarth but did rent the 500 for a few days. My only quip was the short wheelbase makes the whole car jerk or undulate over almost any road imperfection. Probably excellent for autocross but too straining for everyday driving. The FR-S is more GT-like in the sense of it having a longer, more comfortable wheelbase to live with.

Other than that, I appreciate the 500 for what it is and the Abarth trim is icing on the cake.
