Why I love my FIFTY!

Donrican · 04-11-2017, 02:39 PM

I am posting this because I just can't believe what a work of engineering art this car is.

I recently purchased a FIFTY convertible for a few reasons. One was the collectibility. Another was the look of the FIFTY. It looks like a boxer with a pinstripe suit. The sound of the dual mode exhaust... that note is pure gear head. But what has been growing on me is the engineering. That car doesn't have a single rattle. The convertible is pretty sold. Very little flex for a vert. The engine is a masterpiece. (I sound like a little kid who just came from Disney). As someone who used to be a DJ I can tell you the Bose sound system is good enough that I don't have to spend thousands upgrade it. The steering feels firm. I can adjust the ride control by more than just the main modes. I can put the steering and sound in track mode while leaving the ride control in touring auto.

The FIFTY checked off many boxes for me.

Powerful - check
2 door - check
Classy - check
Handling - check
Convertible - check
Sporty Styling - check
Rare - check (FIFTY)
Sound system - check
Ride control - check
Rear camera - check

I'm sure I'm missing something else but that's why this car is growing on me by the day. I had to get this off my chest.

It's becoming one of my favorite SS on the scene!

Ya, get the same felling every time I step into the garage! Now that I have a few kms on the car, it is starting to run even better.
Cool to sit back after you wash it, crack a beer, and just admire a great looking car.
