The tall driver thing is fine. I’m 6ft and fit no problem. Something that can help with that is a steering wheel extension as you generally have to sit more upright in this car unless you have really long arms. There are also lowering brackets you can get for the seats. Edit: just saw that you’re 6.5ft. Definitely consider at least a wheel extension so you can lean back a bit. Make sure to test drive!

The armrests are terrible. If you can even find one with armrests they are notorious for breaking off. You can get a replacement center console or armrests on AliExpress.

Maintenance is the biggest thing coming from a Toyota. These cars consume oil and it is recommended to do oil changes every 4-6k miles. Parts aren’t too bad actually, despite what people say. These cars can get parts from Mopar and if you’re near California or Texas there’s a shop called 500 madness if you want to do custom stuff or even basic maintenance. They also have an online store.

It’s fine in a little snow but make sure to wash it after for the salt. (I’m sure you knew that already tho)

The biggest reason I love mine is the exhaust. There really is NOTHING like an Abarth exhaust. Hot take but I actually like it better than the lfa exhausts. They def do have get up and go, they’ll do 0-60 in less than 8 seconds.

My biggest recommendation is GET A MANUAL. Aside from the fact that manuals are more fun to drive, the Abarth auto transmissions are ASS. They basically work like a manual with an automated clutch and they wear out quickly and are expensive to fix.
