The standard 500 pressure plate is the issue and has nothing to do with hard driving, towing, etc. The fingers on the pressure plate bend, making it impossible to disengage the clutch. The 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth may be small -- smaller than even a Mini Cooper -- but it's a heavy car. With a curb weight of about 2500 pounds, the 500 Abarth isn't pound-heavy -- it's heritage-heavy. xlETtot.
