Waves from Houston
well back in November my wife and both.bought 500 sports one verde chiarra and the other one expression brown, only add on's are tinted windows, and auto/sequential shifters
we bought ours in the woodlands at NorthSide Fiat love them little iconic cars and we get lots of questions and attention everywhere we go with them


Currently at the spring chrysler dealer for an oil change , the dealers bought it was odd the computer display has been saying change engine oil since 3,000 mile marker when it should last up to 8,000 before indicating it. Also just was told there are 3 recall for the 500 to be done so heads up guys and gals update your cars seems there are some issue with contaminated bake oil, wheel lug wrench and another undisclosed one

Hey guys future abarth owner from san antonio checking in. I plan on purchasing a gray 500 abarth as my daily driver when it is released. Any input on what san antonio dealership to purchase would be appreciated ( cavander vs ancira ) .

I'm new to the forum, but I'm also planning on purchasing an Abarth here in San Antonio. Any feedback regarding Cavander vs. Ancira would be greatly appreciated. Any word on service especially. I'm hearing interesting rumors that each dealership is only getting one for now and it will be in black with the red stripe with 17" rims. Another thing I hope Chrysler isn't going to pull the crap they did with the PT Cruiser in regards to price. People were paying over the sticker and in the end they couldn't get rid of them fast enough. The resale wasn't good. I've never owned a domestic car, so I'm a little nervous dealing with Chrysler. I don't want to regret the experience and have a bad taste in my mouth. My current car is an 08 EVO 10. I will be getting a white Abarth, no hurry. Again any feedback would be much appreciated.

I picked mine up from Fiat of McKinney, and the experience could not have been better. I have never seen a lower pressure or more obliging sales team. Anyone here driving the black 500 I saw in Plano the other day? It looked fantastic.

Hello All! I bought my Grigio Pop (whom I've named Tidbit) 'used' at 169 miles from Stadium Auto in Arlington. I've made Holt Fiat my dealership.

Anyway, I'm in the process of getting her all spiffied up with tint, chromed mirrors, new red dash, red and cream stripes, and a custom interior. Hopefully I can get all this done by the early part of April. I'd love to show up at the car show you mentioned, Rev! Heck, I wouldn't mind all of us meeting at your shop for coffee and Fiat chat!

LOVE this car.....

Just bought a red Sport from Fiat of McKinney last night. The sales team were awesome and very low key. Live and work in Plano, Texas. Traded in a Smart Car and used to be a member of the DFW Smart Club.
