I've been drooling over this since I learned about it







It comes with a 2.0L Skyactiv engine pushing 155hp@6000rpm and 148lb-ft@4600rpm. Perfect 50/50 balance as usual and with the Club edition you can opt for the Brembo/BBS package which includes Brembo brakes and forged 17" wheels along with an aero kit.

I'm going to go drive one, but still wouldn't buy it new. Unless Fiat screws up the packaging the 124 Spider Abarth will be on the same platform with considerably more power. That'll be interesting.

How have those been holding up lately? The last time I sat in a used one, approximately 5-7yrs old, it rattled worse than a 15yo Hyundai. Just seemed cheaply built to me.

Mine squeaks if I don't grease the poly bushings but other than that it doesn't squeak or rattle any more than a typical vehicle with 185k miles on it.
