New Ride after 6.5 years of my Yaris - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I ain't sure I would do that. My buddy is a FIAT nut from a long way back, and he had more problems than I did with my BMC Minor. Considering that the FIAT is being marketed through Chrysler, that would make me doubly cautious, as our local Chrysler dealer just HATES selling and servicing them!

I suggest keeping the Yaris (if you can afford to) as a backup...

Nice pickup on the Abarth. How do you like it compared to your S/C Yaris?

Not sure how reliable Fiat has become over the past 20 years but there was a time when many of their newly sold vehicles were lemons.

the Yaris is old has lose some compression, and the Abarth is new, the Abarth definitely pulls harder and feeel faster.

If your Yaris had a forced induction, definitely longevity is compromised.
