Came very close to buying a new/pre-reg one but the limitations of the standard specification and the massively increased cost and wait for a factory order meant we didn’t.
Test drove several over a month or two.
We had a lease that had to go back, just wanted a standard Abarth but wanted parking sensors (standard on the turismo), wasn’t fussed about leather seats or most of the other bits on the turismo.
Standard cars were going for about 12.5k pre-reg. a factory order would have been over 15k and 3 months.... dealers couldn’t fit FIAT parking sensors at their dealership and I didn’t want an aftermarket option. One dealer did quote us less time but then had very mixed reviews and no car = no way for my wife to get to work.
