Ten Most Fun to Drive Cars for Under $30,000
3. Fiat 500 Abarth ($28,245)
Go take a ride in a Fiat 500 Abarth, and I promise you’ll have a giant grin on your face. In Abarth form, the Fiat 500 isn’t the most powerful car on this list, or the most refined, but it’s definitely the angriest. With larger wheels and brakes, and scorpions painted on its body, this tiny hatchback constantly looks like it wants to pick a fight. Under a tiny hood sits a 1.4-litre turbo four that generates 160 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque (157 horsepower and 183 lb.-ft. with the automatic), and its modified exhaust sounds louder than anything this side of a Dodge Hellcat. The rebellious Fiat 500 Abarth will sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in only 7.0 seconds.
