Smoke one where? Up a twisty short burst hill in the wet maybe, anywhere else no way.

Didnt you see that episode where jeremy drove that citreon ds3 thing and richard had the fiat. They raced on a track but the clio just couldnt keep up. James may is probably the best driver out the 3 of them as well.

Anything Top Gear do isn't to be believed, I'm sorry just read any magazine and see what they rate as the best hot hatch.

I'd say the Clio would be best on track, followed by the DS3, then the 500. Think the 500 is quite soft in comparison to the others, but then I've never seen or driven a DS3 Racing.

Then again, we were talking about the 500 Abarthe Essesse which has all the 'softness' taken off and replaced with better bits.

I have a review of them in track driver magazine if you want it.
They said the handling is shit and it needs upgrades to make it better.

I do love the look of them, esp the grey ones with the graphics.

even worse, stick a ferrari sticker on a fiat and we would all laugh, but people would be cueing up to pay £40k for someone else doing it.

world has gone mad, can't believe people fall for these things.

Thats the problem with Trendy middle class trying to live beyond their means.

Might buy one later this year

My aunty just bought a 500c from Slough and the salesman wants to take me out in the Abarth

I fucking LOVE them, wouldnt bother with the Essese version, don't see the point. Id get a 200.

It does 35mpg, looks fookin amazing and is stil a small car.

Only thing holding me back is i would want xenons and leather with the spoked wheels and that pushes price up immensely.

Salesman isn't called Ab is he?

He sold my parents tons of Fiats in the past.
