think quite a lot of people have missed the point here. These reviews are a joke and should be taken as such. They're funny, crude and immature and that's why they're nice to watch as a breath of fresh air from the cocksure, oversteery, slickly produced, taking themselves too seriously reviews that you get.

I drove an 09 Fit Sport M/T for 5 years in Vermont. With a set of good snow tires it has been very impressive. The only times I got in trouble was when I'd encounter deep snow tracks on unplowed roads, and the lack of weight and clearance combined to nearly trap me.

About the only car that has been out front for them (in addition to the Odyssey) the past few years is the Honda Fit. I credit the Fit with jump starting the small, quality-hatch segment in the US, and setting the stage for really cool vehicles like the Fiesta ST and Fiat Abarth.

Not sure myself, but I just looked it up. Wikipedia says Mort Sahl and others came up with it.

Von Braun's autobiography, titled "I Aim for the Stars," should have been called "I Aim for the Stars... but Sometimes I Hit London."

In reality, this a battle between logic (the Fiesta) and emotion (the 500).

The Abarth is like a fun car... one you drive on a barstool and doesn't actually fit you inside (my head rubs the headliner for no apparent reason.) The Fiesta ST is an actual car that just happens to be really fun, and fits tall guys like me.

Agree on the shifter. It's ridiculous that a performance car like the Abarth would have those long, vague throws. I plan to mod that shifter soon, because it needs it. Otherwise, the interior has been fine. I'm 6' and 200lb and have no issues with seating position, pedal placement or dash visuals.

Yeah, tuning support is pretty good right now. The Unichip mod is an easy plug and play upgrade that yields 190+ hp on a stock Abarth. Add a cold air intake and that figure climbs to 200+ hp.

I'm in a similar situation. I drive my 12 y.o. daughter and her friends all over in the Abarth. They fit in the back seat just fine. The front is very roomy, with a high roof line, ample headroom and lots of glass.

Agreed. Plus, the Abarth has a very poor turning radius (due to its upgraded suspension), which limits the ability to do quick 180s.

I live in Vermont and just took the Abarth on a 1200 mile road trip to Ohio. The car was an absolute champ. Stable on the freeway at 80+ mph, plenty of smash for passing at speed, and absolutely a joy in the Adirondack back roads. The exhaust note is great for exacting a tiny bit of revenge on drivers who held you…

The MSRP on the Abarth does it no favors, but the discounts out there have been huge. I may be the worst negotiator in the world, but I bought a loaded '13 Abarth (leather, premium wheels, etc, just no sunroof) for $19K. That's $3K more than a freaking Honda Fit.

Louis C.K. would like a word with you...

Uh, did you just wish death on this guy for expressing his frustration with getting rear ended twice by distracted drivers?

Your objectivity is shot, all right. The dude broke her face into pieces. I don't care what flavor of drunk she was, Mixon gets no pass for closing his fist and punching a woman's lights out. Carlos Hyde last year missed three games for what amounted to a vague swipe/wave gesture at a girl who struck him. Mixon should…

Oh no, she had weed and booze. Clearly she is some sort of monster.

There's a whole lot of tl;dr going on here, but I'll just respond with the already-cited Canadian video treatise on the fallacy of speed kills. Speed limits that are set too low create all sorts of problems, from enforcement activity that resembles roadside banditry to large deviations in speed among cars on the…

Ohio, meanwhile, is a viper's nest of angry, radar gun-toting cops and state troopers. Worst state to drive in, ever.
