being a 595 owner myself, i couldn't agree more with you, but all these negatives are massively outweighed by the positives of having an Abarth, and only Abarth owners would know this.

Hate isn't the right word to say it. Dislike is.

"Exploring UK through my nose" sounds like drug tourism. hahaha

6. It isn't a Hyundai Accent

To sum this car up in 1 word, bipostorous

Have you thought about having separate intros for the Abarth and for the McLaren? For example, if the video had the McLaren in it you'd use its intro, and vice versa

Ive owned my abarth for nearly a year and have filled up many times and only just realised from this video the clip to hand the fuel cap on 😂 what a tool I am loool

I love the "fiat 500" stigma, non car fans think it's just another fiat 500 and then you pull away at the lights and it's all brooppppaahhhhhh psshh brooooaaaaa

Keep a leather glove in your car to protect your tender hands.

Sam, when was the last time you gave it ABarth?

VEHICLE VIRGINS NEXT VIDEO: 5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY ABARTH695 BiPOSTO

1.4T 4 cylinder small engine and a super light car but still not fuel efficient how the fuck is that?

We know he is a virgin, but now he is vehicle virgins?

Love to see which places you visited. Think some are very close to where I live which is a blast to see from one of my favourite youtubers.

great video Sam - you're hilarious. Imitating the petty squabble with your sister cracked me up. It's a silly car by any measure but your passion for it is endearing.

Love the review. Still wanting an abarth after owning a regular 500 TwinAir. But it is so expensive to get a proper one. And as you mentioned, almost nobody will notice. I never would've thought buying a 500 but my little engine is impressive! I love the the character that the car has, even the little nitty negative things like the crappy turn signal lever.

Every car has is pros and cons!

100% agree with you on the hard ride aspect. I drive a 595 and swerving pot holes is apart of the everyday drive. The turning circle is pretty poor too - apart from that it's the best little thing to drive around... I can't help but rev a little too much with that signature Abarth exhaust! Thinking of upgrading to Competizione..

i actually recognize where you are at 3:57 ! you drove through Harewood i literally live 5 mins from there haha amazing roads!!!

love your biposto! i got a 595 and loving it every day!

To be honest, I must say your videos provide this whole cinematic feel :)

Next vehicle virgins video: 5 things my friend hates about his 595 biposto

Good to hear and see that you are feeling better

Gearbox? Reviews said it feels spongy and lacking crispness during changes. What's your take on it now that you've driven the dog ring box

Filled with super unleaded at the Jet station in Silsden (I thought I recognised it !)

Off topic but Sam I am so excited for the day when you take away that wrap on the McLaren. I just rewatched the collecting video and OMG your McLaren looks totally insane in black.

Ok, here is some criticism: 1. You're complaining about the fuel efficiency yet, you don't own/drive a GT car. The Abarth is your daily drive which doesn't mean you should do hundreds of miles per day in it. At least in my opinion. Anyways...The GOOD criticsm: I really really reeeeally like your natural behavior! When I started watching a few videos of you, quite a while ago, I thought "Man, this guy is quite arrogant" Yet, you are such an honest, open-minded and clearly down-to-earth person that I bet is really nice to meet in person and hang out with. All in all I would like to excuse for my wrong grammar at any moment because english is not my first language. Greetings from Germany!

Where were you going in this journey? I saw Silsden and Halifax Road, those are near where I live.

I think it's a good point that only car people recognise it for the awesome car it is! Separates car people from the rest, it means you get a lot more respect from the people that do know what it is.

Thanks for telling us all about your Fiat 500 Sam... By the way, what was that you were saying about "taking a-bath"

Any car when you hit the air recycle switch will fog up the windows. Typically you recycle the air when you are running A/C to keep the cold air cycling. Being you don't have AC.... So the windows fogging is not a fist issue, it's a every car on the planet issue.

I have a North American 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth which is the European equivalent of the old Abarth 500 Essess or the current Abarth 595 Turismo. To soften the ride, I went in the opposite direction and installed budget shocks and struts, specifically KYB Excel-G shocks and struts. The car's now a bit bouncy at slow speed, but at least I get to keep my fillings at any speed! 😁

were you driving through collingham, near wetherby, leeds in the vid?????

Really adore your editing. Come to germany Sam:)

Lol your license plate looks like it say ODIO STG, which would mean HATE STG in Spanish !

You should check if the Abarth has a carbon cabin filter. If not, buy one and install it, it blocks many of the smells you mentioned.

Sam explores the UK through his nose... that should be a spin-off series 😂😂😂

No A/C? That would be the death knell for me. Glad my Abarth has it.

Brilliant video as always Sam, the quality just keeps getting better. Please reduce the amount you say literally though! Hahaha

Proper Italian car, so distinctive and beautiful.

What phone holder do you use on your window?

What were you doing in Halifax? Holdsworth house where you stayed there at the end if I'm not mistaken.

Can u tell me the difference between all the abarths liie 500, 595, 695 and 959 or put a link somewhere where its explained?

I feel your pain Sam. I had an Abarth 500c a couple years ago. I absolutely loved the thing to bits but the whole "It's just a fiat" thing really got annoying. I eventually traded it in and got a GT86 instead.

Does anyone know the brand name of the front intercooler (oem) ? thanks forehand.

what window mount to you use for your phone ?

Could you try some sort of activated charcoal filters on the air intakes into the cabin? I'm not sure if they even make them, but activated charcoal absorbs all kinds of nasty stuff.

Ehm, you know the "air circulation" button is ment as an switch to use in tunnels? So u dont like, get all the toxic air inside ur care, and when u start it to heat it up faster? Its not an mode to use at long periods of time.

I'm assuming you're happy with the driving position? One of the worst things I found with my 595 comp - seat too high and a wheel that doesn't adjust for reach. Nightmare for us taller drivers.

plz do a video on Paul getting a hurucan I want more info about it

What is your iphone holder(carkit) on your windscreen?

Great vid

Awesome video. Especially compared to the last one....

can you install an airconditioning unit?

You should create a SoundCloud playlist mate. Some bangers throughout your videos.

finally i know why my windows are steaming up every day in my abarth😂 thanks!👍🏼

mate i think i saw you driving through ilkley on saturday i saw the yellow abarth and was like ''ah looks like stg's car'' to myself, so weird!

Cool Video , (y) Seeing what yorkshire has to offer :) , inc Silsden , and cullingworth moor and beyond , enjoy what Yorkshire has to offer , for good driving roads look at settle , North Yorkshire ...

great little motor this 💚

Does anyone know what phone holder Sam uses?

I have a 595 Turismo, and I agree that the boot chrome and passenger side badge declaring '500' is a bit annoying. The thing that is most annoying is that big cars (read: Audis) come right up the the bumper trying to intimidate you out of the way, no matter how fast you're going - they couldn't possibly be seen to be held up by a small car, no matter how quick. On the flip side, it's a nice Q-car to catch out unsuspecting bigger cars though. The list of things I love about my car is a lot longer than 5 things...

what phone holder are you using Sam?

knew you was type of guy that fills the car up when there's a space in front of you already! 👌 throbber

Which phone mount are you using?

Was that the jet filling station near Blyton?

Wrap the spoiler in satin black would like amazing.

What are you paying for petrol over there? You mentioned you payed 30 pounds for fuel but you didn't say how much fuel. Just curious, hope you don't mind me asking!

2:43 your trunk door isn't fully sealed? Do you hear vibrations?

I love that little rocket

Sam, it sounds like the Mileage is not too bad? What I didn't understand is how your car's HVAC is different from everyone else's car even with the absence of air conditioning, because it is either outside air or recirculated air in every other car produced. It's not like you buy bottled air when you fuel up?

That is the one thing that annoys me. The fact most people think it's a fiat 500. When my log book states it's an abarth! I'm pretty sure the general public just think my car is a fiat 500 with a spoiler and stickers! Err no. But then on the other hand I get people who are generally interested about it coz they remember the original abarth 500.

@Seen Through Glass Why don't you upgrade the exhaust to a 'Record Monza' Kit it's a really silly exhaust and in my opinion better then the stock exhaust ?

Where on earth were you going in this video Sam, such a strange route and very close to where we are based.

What part of the north you visiting

What's the driving position like? It doesn't look great 😐

This is a very original video!!! *passes out from intense sarcasm*

when is the exhaust upgrade coming?

I wonder if the Abarth (not even the biposto, which I've never heard of until now) will be the new Miata.

i have one and in summer its windows down or you have a sauna on 4 wheels

Can you retro fit AC

290 miles from more or less 30 litres is very good

What the posh car not have a cabin filter ?

was that Hebden bridge??

Hows the helper search going

I hope you are feeling better.

Wich gets the best milage, the baby super car or the baby baby car!? :P

I have owned a 2015 abarth and now have a 2016 yellow abarth. USA models. Also I have a 2016 mustang GT , my abarth is my DD. I have more fun and enjoyable times in this little car then my mustang at half the price. I'm always in a good mood and smiles in the abarth. Mustang is stressful, big boat!!! Maybe I just got used to smaller sized cars? Abarth is pretty much a STREET GO-CART. 👍🏼

Regarding the smells of travel...isn't a good thing then to be really rotten in the stomach as well I suppose... Hope you feel better now!

Hello, i have a question, are you aware of what means your plate in italian??? I mean did you choose it didn't you???

Saw you in shell garage near Harrogate/knaresborough

So really, you should have bought a normal Abarth 500? Lol. Air con, better fuel economy, softer ride etc..

STG for the win

I just bought the 595 Turismo and purposefully added the Aluminium fuel filler cap...

Welcome to the North Sam, a place where everyone is friendlier and things are cheaper :D! You've forgotten your end cards again :P!

Ok, maybe someone can help put his American. I'm a new Abarth owner, 3 weeks. Is the 595, 695 destination a European thing? Started seeing the 695 after searching on here for info on them.anyone know how many 2013s were made? So far, I'm loving mine, almost too much fun to drive!

No.1 the cost no.2 tge likes it (Btw I like this car and maybe TGE)

It's based on the fiat 500 it doesn't matter what engine or suspension etc you have its still a fiat 500 just better. If that bothers you then you should not have bought it

When I read the title of this video, I thought: ohhh, look this bald man saying wrong things of this amazing car! Ok, I was wrong! I have a Fiat 500 and some issues are the same: like the air conditioning problem! Nice video! I wait the next one!

I love my 595...despite the hard ride!

05:36 Loving the Northern accent 😂
