:cornut: Looks like a 'speed bump.' HHHMMMMMMMMMM, in Abarth form, well...........................:devil:. First however, they'd need to fix the quality assurance, reliability problems, and the suspension. Still though, it's merely a Fiat. Okay 2nd car for the MINI?

I've been seeing lots of them around town. Interesting little cars. That roadster is an odd looking thing for sure. As far as quality goes the jury is still out. We already know about MINIs quality.

 

My mini is in the shop now for a harmonic balancer. When I went to pick up a rental, Enterprise had a couple of Fiat 500s. I was hoping to get to play with one, but instead I got an Impala :sad:

 

Looks like the same tight packaging that we have on our MINIs. Makes the R53 engine room look spacious in comparison. The Abarth uses smaller horses so the barn can be smaller me thinks.

 

Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery


To imitate someone is to do exactly what they do, to behave like them. To flatter someone is to say nice things to them, often to influence them or make them have a positive opinion of you. So the expression, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery†means that doing something the way someone else does it is actually a compliment to them. You are saying: I am doing this because I like your idea/behavior.

 

I think this is a smart move on their part. Youifactaion of the Fiat 500, seems swell to me.

 

We owned a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport 5pd for 8 months and traded it in for a 2012 Justa.

 

Why the change? Not a good car or did the MINI just draw you in with its personality?

 

:cornut: Me Too, Me Too! Give us the story PLEASE.

Yep we have...

Her issues are with the dealer, they seem to be the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight. It's a shame that while the car was enjoyable the local service was so bad it tainted the ownership experience.

 

I thought the very same thing when I read thar thread.

 

It was a funny, nice, and different car for $20K. Had a lot of people asking about it. Alot of non car people thought it was either a Mini or VW. Who had no clue what a Fiat was. The dealer experience was terrible.











And replaced with this.

 

True

I've been blamed in the past (pre Mini days) for something that was done at the dealer.

 

:cornut: MINI Margi(08 R56 MCS/JCWm) was a garage queen for the first two years that I owned her. Everything that could break on her did but, I just loved her anyway. What really made the differebce was the Dealer, MINI of DALLAS. They always fixed her no problem. Service with a smile. Do you need a loaner Jason. No sir, no charge. For the past year, no problem at all. Yes sir, the dealer makes all the difference in the world.

Those are great! Man that 500L is a homely thing.
