It sounds like it could be a transmission issue or a problem from the car sitting for a while. It's a good idea to have a mechanic check it out.

    Has anyone installed a hand grip in passenger side on their Abarth?

      Grab handles seem to be fairly common in Euro cars but it's been years since I've seen one in a US car, other than PUs and big SUVs. I'm not sure where/how you'd mount one on a Fiat.

        The passenger side grab /assist handle comes on 500s without a sunroof. I was a little disappointed our cars with the sunroofs didn't come with them. I'm not sure the roof panels have pre-threaded holes for them and the headliner looks indented to accommodate them.

        I remember when we got our 124 Sedan in the early 70s and they had the assist handles over the doors. Being used to American cars back then, it made an impression on me that a relatively inexpensive car would provide this neat feature. Fiats have always had lots of thoughtful extras.

        Here are a couple of threads on the subject tagged "passenger assist handle"

          I can check my 500 ABARTH this afternoon. I'll look and see if there is a grab handle mounting point included on the passenger side.

            That what I don’t like about my 500. No grab handle on my sunroof car. Why is there one on the Cabriolet.

              If you figure out how to mount one so I can ,maybe my wife would ride with me at Twisted again. But then there still is the screaming.

                Is that the interior of Santa's car? Hands down, the most hideous combo I have seen in a 500.
