Since we moved downtown and no longer drive we decided that only one car was needed. My wife didn't like driving the M so we traded it in for an Abarth. It's a fun little toy. I'll post pics later when I get a chance. I'll be sure to check-in every once in a while, I can say this is one of the better car forums out there (with a couple notable exceptions, we all know who they are).

I have no doubt I'll be getting another E85/6 in the future so make sure you keep at least one in great shape and low miles, preferably red!

Cheers!

Too bad "SICK ABARTH" won't fit on a license plate.

BruceJ · 07-09-2012, 01:39 PM

It fits on a europlate!

SCHMOUPE · 07-09-2012, 01:55 PM

This is the reason why I skipped on the MCS and still kept my MR. I hope the mini fire worked out for you in the end...I didn't read any updates about that. Once I saw your post and a few other things I read about the MCS...I decided to pass on it... seems like a fun DD, but wish they make an AWD or RWD version.

Take care!

Thanks, BMW offered a Lemon Law settlement so at the end it was OK though not really what I would have expected for a long time customer.

After taking a lemon law settlement on a Mini, you bought a Fiat? Good luck with that!

FerRrari · 07-24-2012, 11:39 AM

I must say this car is much more fun than I thought it'd be, it sounds and feels great.

MinneapolisJeff · 07-24-2012, 11:58 AM

that's the car in the Charlie Sheen FIAT commercial, correct?

haven't been to the local FIAT dealership yet myself, was kinda curious on these cars
