If you're interested in new, I could get you a friends discount for any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Fiat product that you may be interested in. Just shoot me a PM.

I'd say go for the Fiat 500, inexpensive, not bad looking and surprisingly not bad to drive. My father is looking to get a Fiat 500 Abarth, so this friday, we are going to test one out, I hve only driven the base model 500 and it wasn't bad. It was automatic, so I didn't care for that, but I'm sure they come in manual.

I'd think someone who owns one of the most mocked cars (IE: The 'Hey look, isn't that the BTTF time machine') ever, you'd be far less willing to mock other cars. I guess a victim can easily become the bully, huh?

Victim? Bully? come on dude it was joke. Everyone knows those Fiats are chick cars. They are the modern day Miata. :wave2:

FWIW, I drove a Fiat 500 as a rental car 1200 miles from SLC to Vegas and back a few weeks back. Surprisingly roomy for the two front seats, but a horrible car to drive fast on the freeway. Gutless as can be. I think they are lucky to push 100 hp. I only got about 33 mpg too, which is ridiculous for a car that small. Perhaps if it was only a city-driven vehicle, I could understand it, but not even being able to go up slight inclines without the auto tranny downshifting is pathetic. After only a few hundred miles on the freeway, I was sick of the car and can't recommend it. If it had a turbo or something to give it some more power, it wouldn't be nearly as unattractive.

The Dodge Dart is a far better value for your dollar and is made with pride by the UAW here in the USA.

The Dodge Dart isn't a visually appealing car in my opinion, it just looks awful. Last time my father looked at a Fiat, the salesman kept trying to push a Dodge Avenger on him, so we walked out then and there. They tried to play a sales game and lost. The Fiat he was looking at then was used, they badly want to sell a new Avenger which is just a very ugly looking car.

F.O.R.D.? You mean F.I.A.T., right? Never had a problem with my Ford, works perfectly all the time every time.

Yeah, a stock 300bhp 4.6L Mustang GT, 1/4 mile time of 13.8s, vs a stock 130bhp (exaggerated) 2.85L DeLorean, 1/4 mile time of 18.0s - definitely looks like a fair head-up race to me. :race:
