Very handy

The little"cat eye" on the mirror is very handy when trying to see what's to the left of the driver.  There is a blind spot when the driver looks over his/her left shoulder, but that is all but eliminated with this mirror.

I still love this car but I test drove the Abarth and I have to say
 I WANT ONE!!!!!

Road Trip!

We decided to take the Fiat instead of the pick-up for a road trip to my family's ranch in the hill country.  It was a very pleasant experience.  Getting onto the interstate was easy and the little car was able to "hang" with the 18-wheelers no problems at all.  When we exited the interstate for the smaller 2-lane state highway, again, no problems.  Passing on 2-lane highways always requires a car to move quickly to pass and get back into the driving lane and the Fiat did that with ease.  I do think that having the turbo would have made that task much easier.
I can't wait to test drive one in February!
