Nope, needed a daily driver, the Abarth was $11000 more for just 60hp more (paid $14K for a sport model), didn't seem like a good deal. So far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems (no real problems anyway). I have 5 cars and this is the best on fuel for the commute.
Hopefully it lasts. Fiat owners really like their cars. Hopefully its newer than a 2013. Before the pass seat was too high and aux was in glove box.
If you decide to buy another and want the most bang for your buck, pm me
