Don't get me wrong the 500 seems like a great little car, but pitching the fastest 500 against the slowest MINI (just because they're the closest in pricing) is not the basis for a track test. Given the Fiat has more power and weighs 200kg less it should have been more than one second quicker than the MINI around the track. Shows how good a standard MINI is. But to be fair to the Fiat, Vicki did say it felt more 'alive'. I can't wait for the test between the Abarth SS and the Cooper S.
