I've been looking into convertible cars, and I thought I had settled on a 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth.
Recently, though, I saw a Pontiac Solstice, and I really liked the way it looks. Not to mention it would be 1/3 the price. The drawback is worse gas mileage, 6 higher than my 1998 truck in city, and the newest ones are almost a year away from being a decade old.
Has anyone here driven one, or both of these vehicles? Does the Solstice have anything on the Fiata Abarth?
Tl;dr: Pontiac Solstice Gxp vs 2017 Fiata Abarth
Bentley Torres
only thing the Solstice has is the price
Jace Perez
Pontiac a shit Why do you think they went under ?
It couldn't possibly be because they make a subpar product out of subpar parts and Market them to white trash faggets
Wyatt Roberts
Miata is always the answer Is Always The Answer
Nathaniel Sanchez
This, but not a piece of shit NA. ND or NB depending on whether you value speed/modernity or feels more
Luke Watson
Pontiac a best
James Perez
Pros and cons to owning a droptop?
Never been interested in them but i live in Ca where its sunny 90% of the year so could be fun.
Jeremiah Bell
Camaros with bodykits
wew
Evan Morgan
It's a convertible
>Drop top You aren't a nigger are you?
Juan Kelly
I never liked how the older Miata looks like it's smiling at you
Jeremiah Martinez
Pros: it's a fucking convertible Cons: looks like shit with the top up, easy to break into, floppy and heavy if it's not on a roadster, poor insulation (leaking isn't really an issue)
Daniel Bennett
Thankfully im not a nigger
>mfw
Okay maybe ill just stick with hardtops
William Clark
If you're going to put a body kit on anything, you use the best platform available. Pontiac understood this.
Ryan Foster
the 124 abarth is alright at the moment but will be great in a year for two reasons >more mature tuning scene >much cheaper prices because fiat depreciation
just wait until next summer
Julian Bennett
don't you want to be a pioneer ?
Colton Roberts
nah, its 32k which is too expensive for what it is without a tune. in a year it'll be like 24k going by normal fiat depreciation rates
Elijah Rodriguez
new Fiats are all butt ugly
get the Pontiac. they are future collectibles
Hudson Garcia
literal trash cars
James Sanders
just because it was the best platform they had doesn't mean they were good platforms
Jackson Ross
>they are future collectibles your future is fantasy
Dylan Lewis
The Abarth is pushing 22 psi stock, I wouldn't count on getting a lot more out of it without a bigger turbo. Which would be shit to drive since it will make about 80 hp off boost.

Owen Williams
>solstice
it's heavy
David Hall
This. It weighs 500 to 700 pounds more than the Miata or Fiat. It's ridiculously heavy for how small it is.
Ryder Phillips
Have you taken a look at the Saturn sky redline? Much better than the solstice imo
Cameron Clark
Why is the NC always ignored? I know it is slightly heavier, but it handles just as good as an ND
James Cooper
It's the same exact car as the solstice with different body panels, and still a heavy piece of shit.
Wyatt Brooks
>solstice/sky
If you're looking for a 2,800 lb roadster you'd be crazy to pick one of those over an S2000
Connor Jones
Have you sat in a Fiata yet? They're made for manlets. Headroom is scarce.
Leo Price
>implying it wasn't cause GM wouldn't let them make a car worth a damn
Take one look at the gen 2 fiero and tell me it's shit
Noah Martin
>Pontiac understood this >not Pontiac was forced to do this
Landon Young
the 500 abarth does 230whp off just a tune and an intake
Owen Roberts
a stock NC is a bit wallowy but nothing that aftermarket suspension can't fix. a stock ND has quite a bit of body roll too but is quicker than a stock NC.
i found the ND more fun to drive than a NC but the price difference really isn't justified (for now at least) so i got an NC.
