Hello Veeky Forums. I currently have a 2016 Fiesta ST w/ recaros which i have had for over a year and have put 5000 miles on it. I do really love this car and do understand why it receives so much praise from others. However, my last car was an old NA miata that I miss dearly and with the appearance of the new Abarth 124 I am extremely tempted to go and order one.
Is this a stupid idea. I do not need a practical car, so that argument is out the window. And I do love the turbo engine in the fiesta, so I thought that the abarth would be a good option as compared to the mazda version of this platform?
Is my reasoning flawed or should I just go for it?

Yeah I know, ive been lurking here for about 7 years or so... Just recently in the past 2 years acquired the means to make me memes dreams.

Follow your dreams, user. Just bee yourself!
Fiesta seems like a good deal, but I never liked hatchbacks myself, they just seem like girl cars. VW Golfs especially.

I would be dropping my current Fiesta for a 124 abarth.
Caleb Torres
Why not the BRZ?
Eli Cook
Honestly, the lack of torque around town compared to the Fiesta is laughable.

the abarth 124 is awesome but DO NOT buy it brand new, depreciation will hit the thing like a fucking truck, you could save a ton by just waiting a year and buying it then
also by then the tuning scene will be more comfortable with it and you'll see lots of good tunes
Aiden Lewis
and to put this in perspective, i forget the exact first-year depreciation value for fiats but i calculated it once and in one year a 124 abarth will go from 32k to 22k
Jace Harris
Why not sell the BRZ for it?
Jackson Lewis
Honestly ill be selling both. I just took a commission with the Navy and it would be very cumbersome to move with multiple vehicles considering I'm single.
Josiah Campbell
Nice home, OP. Do you live with your parents?
Jace Ross
Yep, until I leave in the near future.

How did your life come to this
Liam Martinez
I mean I do pay for them, but having no real cost of living does afford me the opportunity to have the cars I love.
(Pic related, old beat miata I drove through college).
Logan Brooks
Car was thoroughly used, but It was completely reliable and a ton of fun.
(Sold it at 200K miles).
