What is the gearbox like? With the new model I have you can't get a manual, just curious if I am missing out :)

That rear wiper is something that is missed on the C model though, gets very mucky quickly and no means of cleaning it.

Where did you get yours from?

Not wanting to rub it in BUT the gearbox is amazing. Gear changes are very short plus with it mounted on the dash feels like a little race car

Muck does get on the back windscreen easily like the X and must be a pain not having it. Strange how it was omitted from the c.

Bought from Wessex Abarth who are new dealers in Bristol. Had a few niggles but all sorted now
