New car

I got a new car! It is a Fiat 500 Sport with a manual transmission. I have had it a few days now and I am absolutely in love with it! It is such a fun car to drive! It has plenty of power even though it's only rated at 101hp, but I am easily able to climb hills, even in 5th gear. It has no trouble passing on the highway and zipping around town. The seats are amazingly comfortable and supportive. I have driven and ridden in many different makes and models from a Geo to a Mercedes, and this is the most comfortable car I have ever been in. The Bose sound system is awesome, especially in such a small space. I think the only complaint I can think of is the tire noise on the highway, and that has nothing to do with the car, just the silly rubber band sized tires.

One cool thing about this car is you can download a software program onto your computer called Eco: Drive and using a USB memory stick, you install some software that gets uploaded to your car via the in car USB port, then records your driving habits over 5 days. You then plug the USB stick back into your computer and the software will analyze your driving habits and help you get the most fuel economy and energy savings. I'm only 2 days into it, but I am already averaging 38mpg combined driving. The software gives you tips on how to improve as well.

 I bought my car from Kelly Fiat in Danvers, MA as there are no dealerships in NH yet. They were great, even through some complications in the delivery that ended with the car I initially bought being sent back to Fiat. It all worked out in the end as I ended up with a better car with more options.  They treated me like I had a brain even though I am a woman driver. They gave me a more than fair offer on my trade-in. I would recommend both the car and the dealer to anyone in the market for a Fiat.
