well i'm a previous gencoupe owner .. now rolling in a brz ... i went for a test drive with the 500 abarth last week and found it to be a fun little car .. it feels nice in the twisties and has no torque steer which is pretty nice for a little car with that much torque ..
torque comes in at really low rpm's and i miss that feeling i had with the genesis ..
the seating position is too high in the car and makes you feel like you're in a minivan and i hope fiat will correct this ..
the shifter is ugly and feeling isn't great .. i remember my 1996 accent had a more precise feel...
dashboard is ugly .. i thought that the brz's dash not so good coming from a genesis but was really happy to get in my brz after testing the abarth lol

the abarth is a nice little car but they should correct these problems because right now i think it's overpriced for what it is .. they sell it for the price of my fully equipped brz here (29000$) .. while i think it should be more like 22-24k
