    She goes pretty nice to be honest.. in city / eco mode its still got balls, but when you press the lil red button on the dash with "SPORT" written on it then it really gets going.

    thats pretty rad! .. how does that lil motor go?

    I like how companies are starting to embrace the 'aftermarket' look now when bringing out different models of cars.. like those wheels for example!

    nice car bud!

    They start at $29,900 for the base 'Emotion' model... the Sports Model was $31,950... with the Skydome addon and Pearl paint it was on road for $35,000.

    I fell in love with it when i opened the door to look inside the showroom model, but once i brought the woman back an took it for a test drive I was sold on it.

    I know the stigmata Fiat has, "Fix It Again Tony" but that was 20 years ago now and it has a 3yr/100,000k warranty as well as Fiat Care 24Hour Roadside Assist incase of breakdown. Im willing to give them another go, no one who has been in it yet hasnt fallen in love with it.

    The car's "Blue&Me" system is perfect, the car will turn the stereo off when a call comes in which you can answer at the push of a button on the steering wheel, then connects the call with the cars stereo (if you have a supported model fone your ringtone comes through the stereo when a call comes in). There's two mic's in the front so both driver & passenger can easly talk with who ever is on the other end.

    The other cool feature with "Blue&Me" is press the lil button on the left of the wheel and you tell it what you want it to do "Call Skip" and it will search your fone book and ask if you want to be connected. Or you can just tell it "Dial xxxxxxxx" and it will call that number.

    It also has Message Reader which will read out txt's you receive and display them on the dash between the speedo & tacho. Sadly my E65 isnt compatable with that feature so Im changing my mobile lol.


    Nify feature is the USB slot in the center console, rather than burning cds or what ever for tunes I just loaded up a 4gb memory card and plugged it in for my music.

    One ODD thing is that you can actually Disable Passenger Airbag's lol... not sure why you'd want to do that, unless you really really really dont like them or something hahaha.

    The ability to disable the airbag is primarily designed for when a front passenger who could be injured by the force of the airbag - Think children, elderly, people suffering certain medical conditions etc. Usually it's something you'd never use though.

    Nice choice though. Of the current Fiat range I really do like the Ritmo. It's different, but not outrageous. Certain Punto models aren't bad either.

    Enjoy it.

    ROCK ON

    That's such a cool feature, USB slot! Hopefully this becomes standard in the next few years.

    The Fiat looks awesome. Good luck with all the modding, I'm sure she'll be unique!
