Used Car of the Day: 2019 Fiat 500 Abarth

Today we have a lightly-used 2019 Fiat 500 Abarth that seems pretty clean.


There are only 10,986 miles on this California-based car. Sadly, it has an automatic transmission -- Abarths are so much fun with a manual.

Our seller tells us that the only issue is a scuff on the front of the car. It has been well maintained.

You can see it by clicking here. The asking price is $16,850.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Wife drives a Fiat 500 Turbo 5-speed (135hp vs. 160 in the Abarth), it's a lot of fun to drive and hasn't given us any headaches. Maintenance on it is not as bad as you'd think for such a cramped engine compartment...Fiat did put some thought into it in that regard. Back seat is...cramped...but the front is surprisingly roomy for what it is.


    I honestly wouldn't mind having one myself, but yeah, gotta have a manual trans.

    will you look at that!...no "fix it again tony" jokes from the "best and brightest"

  • MaintenanceCosts How about a system that detects when a driver is starting to engage in road rage and just backs off and drives smoothly for a bit?
  • IBx1 ST is dead so why not kill GR toopathetic automatic scum
  • VoGhost Interesting. The maga anti-America crowd is so used to being brainwashed into hating Tesla, they didn't realize that it's actually the foreign automakers that use slave labor.

  • Bouzouki Hmm. So, can this system detect the root cause of why the driver may be having a "bad day"?Can the system detect when the driver is leaving a GM dealership after an expensive repair (or maintenance, like clearing the carbon deposits on the intake valves of that direct-injected "affordable" 3-cylinder Trax for $1200), or when GM certified says "sorry, that's not covered in your "LIMITED Bumper-to-bumper warranty"?I wonder.Those experiences can make drivers angry and upset.
