I owned a 500 pop and an Abarth. I feel like the pop was okay but not something you really want to drive in the city because it’s so slow w it’s almost dangerous. I nearly got rear ended more times than I could recall because I simply couldn’t accelerate fast enough.
The Abarth is a different story. I put a piggyback tune on it too and it was a lot of fun. The 500 is very roomy from a storage perspective and we used it to make sams club runs. I got 36-37 mpg which was a minor penalty over the 40 mpg I got in the pop.
The seating position and pedal placement is odd but you get used to it. The exhaust on the Abarth is made by Akrapovic and is incredible sounding for a little 1.6l turbo. Only reason I sold it was to get a big cargo van we converted to an RV.
