It’s a pretty good little car… But the automatic is better for the US to be honest. 5th gear is just too short to be ideal for US highways.
An unfortunate reality, I love my Abarth but if I have to go more than, say, 50-60 miles at once I really long for a 6th gear.
I’d even take a weird 5th gear that’s “too tall” relative to the other 4 as around town I’m rarely higher than 3rd or 4th
European highway speed limits are higher than America’s
Our highways in Portugal have a 120km/h limit (~75mph). There are a ton of states with an 80mph limit, similar to some other European countries, like in France I think they have some places at 130km/h
A 1.4L engine is downright dangerous merging onto American highways
It’s a turbo 1.4
It’s not fast, but it’s definitely sufficient.
