So a buddy from work did the deal this morning at Fremont Fiat (NorCal) before coming in (50 minutes with the test drive!)and I offered to go get the car with him. Got back about an hour ago...and it's a nice little car!
First the lease deal: $3500 down. $1000 rebate if you lease anything currently (car is eligible for $2500 rebate from state of California) Monthly payment: ~$87 a month! This is the TOTAL, out the door monthly payment.
Car is a nice black with orange mirrors, nice tires and black rims with orange accents.
I'd sat in a 500 gasser before, so I sort of knew what to expect. I think it's a nice, competent car. quiet to drive, easy to see out of, good mirrors and for my 6'2" #280 60 yr. old body, it was comfortable to sit in for the 25 mile drive back to his house.
The car is lively on the freeway and on city street, quick in the 0-40 mph range and fine merging on the freeway. It's quiet, tracks well and you sit up high with a nice view.
The deal is a screaming one and the dealer is selling cars hand over fist-it's a limited time thing. Call Norman @510.771.1500, he's the sales guy my buddy (jack) spoke with.
(They also have the new Alfa sports car...it's a beauty for $72k)
