Hello Ronald,
A better ride, sure ... Not a smoother ... The Abarth is like a go-cart.
Minimal suspention, adaptive shocks and that makes it stick to the road like a F1-racecar.
I drove both, although the Abarth runs almost 125 miles/h it is too expensive for daily use, its a nice toy.
Even de 500Sport (we had the 4 cylinder with 100 HP) is not that comfortable, I did not like drive it for more then 10-20 miles.
To stiff suspension. But for short, quick drives, on good roads it beats almost every bigger car, since its weight is low and it sticks to the road like nothing.
Someone wanting a 500, I would advice a long, long testdrive, and take those bad roads to test.
