Who the fuck wants a VW?
It's funny that all the things YW loathes about the car are things that aren't even on my radar.
$12k gets you a Fiat 500 Pop, maybe a Lounge. Certainly not an Abarth.
Maybe I just enjoy the familiarity. When I look at the interior there are pieces from the E36 and E60 parts bins plainly visible.
I loved my R53 Cooper S -- but it did suffer from electrical gremlins.
I'll take a look, but they weren't there in the Pit-DC cooridor a few days ago. Though I wasn't searching specifically for them either, just browsing Truecar and Carmax with Keith.

I found about 4 of them in my search radius, which includes NOVA. Problem with the car above is that it's a manual, which I'm not doing for utility purposes. Doesn't seem to be a lot of Abarth automatics, but there are, unsurprisingly, a plethora of MINI's with slushboxes.
The Saab/Volvo dismantlers here in town took on Mini a few years ago, so I get a fair amount of info on Mini reliability... it's the stuff they charge a lot for and never have in stock. It seems kinda bleak, tbh, but I still really really really want a Clubman S JCW. The Mini itself kind of does not impress me - I like the size, but in terms of performance the 7th gen Celica GT-S is a slam dunk - more power, less weight, better chassis, better reliability. The Clubman adds just enough solid practicality that it touches my special car place. Regardless of how the Liberty goes, I will continue shopping for Clubmans and 2nd gen V50s next year. Regardless, I bear no ill will towards the regular Minis. If you can get past the (potential?) cost of ownership it's a fun ride.
Are we talking automatic or manual? Because if the latter, why not FiST? It seems too obvious, so I can only assume it does need to be an auto?
