Nice car, EXCELLENT choice. Had mine for 5 years & believe me when I say... the 'novelty' NEVER wears off. I still absolutely LOVE it!!! I keep mine in SPORT 99.99% of the time (because you can) Only turn it off in rush-hour or heavy traffic to make it less 'jerky', or on long motorway journeys as it doesnt make any difference if your just 'cruising' along at 70. Plus, the Abarth owners club is fantastic, There is also Auto-Italia at Brooklands, Abarth day at Rockingham, Festival Italia at Brands Hatch & sooo many other wonderful events all over the uk to show her off, display her & meet other Abarth NUTTERS like yourself. Look forward to seeing you out there. Your Abarth friend, Canada Carl

I fancy this! Thanks for the review

These are great cars I have a 595 comp with the monza exhaust great little car very under rated

I have had mine 6 months now. Never had it out of sports mode. Last two cars before this were 2002 WRX STI tuned, and 2008 Golf R32. This gets heaps more smiles per mile

I keep mine in sport mode all the time so I don't know if the mpg is worse or not, it seems pretty good fuel wise, for a bit of fun next time let your friend drive your car in eco mode for about 10 minutes then put it in sport mode and feel the difference, its an amazing transformation, you really appreciate having the sport mode option, it seems a bit flat in eco mode with reduced turbo boost, the car just comes alive in sport mode, for the sheer driving experience and awesome sound there's is nothing better this side of a ferrari! With the record monza exhaust there is a spring loaded valve, flap that inside that I believe opens with the pressure instead, ie when your rev through the gears, beware as this can rust and corrode with age and stay stuck but yours may be an electronic valve that activates, the older record monza valve was much more basic don't know what's causing the rattle, you could have a loose baffler inside the rear box! if it's possible keep the valve lubricated, greased, I've got a ragazzon, remote, electronic valve flap exhaust on my 595 with a novitec racing, straight through rear section on the back, sound way deeper than the standard abarth system and it howls through the revs, like you I love everything about my Abarth, life's Too short not to have an Abarth In it, nothing really comes close for the money! 👍😉🇮🇹

I love my 2017 Abarth 595 Competizione it's been remapped and had a few other tasty mods done. Had it on the rolling road and got 225bhp which isn't too shabby 😁

My one lives in sport mode

I had a series 4 595 in Podium Blue from new, best car I’d ever owned & driven so far, but I ended up returning it & bought a Abarth Grande Punto, needed a bigger car but wanted to stay with Abarth.

Had my 595 Turismo for 2 years now and i still love it, since my first drive its always been in sport mode, yes the turning circle is similar to that of a battle ship but you do have a hand brake for quick turns!

I have a 2017 Abarth, purchased from the original owner in December. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !! At least 2-3x weekly I get random compliments or people asking Qs about the little race car

Anyone like to see a vlog on a faulty monza then replaced under warranty? As well as some other handy tips you may not know about!?

Nice video love the editing what drone did you put up Mavic Pro ??

I'm considering getting one of these gorgeous cars. To replace my "granny car" kia picanto which I got as I was working as a nanny through uni. Now looking for a bit more fun. My only concern is I work up in the hills which gets icy through the winter, my current car handles terribly in the rain and the ice, is the abarth any better? Thank you

Hi im thinking off a 2016 torfeo. Would anyone have any view. Thank you in advance.

Nice video!

Right!, I've driven 595 comps for the last 5 years, and I've driven them on your local roads. That's a bumpy road past Horsley lodge,btw!. If you want a detailed reply, just ask!

Is that a record grey exterior?

Interesting to hear about the rattle, my Monza is the same. Windows down in an underground car park I can hear mine massively

Did you end up fixing the rattle in the exhaust? I was one of the first abarth series 4 owners to have the rattle and no dealers or mechanics new what it could be as they said they haven’t had anyone else have the problem. 2 years on they changed the exhaust and I gave the car back 😅😂

Own a Rivale and yes turning circle is pits, always in sport mode like the sound get about 35 smiles a minute mpg, owned 4mnths only problem is boot comes open now and again must be due to very bad roads, sure it can be sorted, a lot of people wire the exhaust flap open due to it seizing up, owned more powerful cars but this is a pleasure to drive might get a gum shield to stop my teeth rattling

Your in derby 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome. Where did you pick up the wing badges from

Ive owned my 595 Comp for 3 months now from new. My exhaust also rattled (sounded like a bluebottle in a jam jar at about 2500 rpm) and I had the exhaust replaced under warranty, Also worth checking the air filter, should come with a red BMC high performance one, mine had a standard paper one, dealer kindly replaced it for the BMC.

when are they going to update ? maybe put the new 1.3 liter 177 hp/ 210 torque in this? This same engine is already in the 2020 500x

Think the grey colour is the best in the range of these cars

Mine lives in sports mode!

Does anyone know if these European models are also made in Mexico like the US models?

horsley lodge what a course

I had the same issue with the exhaust, they changed the rear silencer and it was sorted, brand new car. Was sorted under warranty

When I have my Sport button on, it definitely uses more gas. I get around 250kms with sport on and 308 kms sport on and off combo. But this little rocket is what I call my smoking habbit which means (I don't smoke) but it's $50.00 CDN dollars on gas every 2 days. Which is like smoking 2 packs a day....lol I'd rather drive than smoke . In Canada smoking costs $20.00 a pack xoxo Katt ^,,^

Usually normale mode. Untill the light goes green and there's a big car next to me. And btw, now exhaust is fixed open. (metal wire)

Looking to purchase ☝️ of these. Nice video👍🇦🇺

What performance does this car do

Get that exhaust replaced under warranty asap, or change it for a bombardone at your cost :0/. Turning circle is awful on this car, and be careful of your door handles they tend to come off in your hand. 🙌🏻

I always drive mine in sport mode.

When are you doing a vid again with ya mate and the Abarth ??

I bought this very model new but could only keep it 6 months. The driving position was awful for my 6 foot 3 frame. Lack of adjustment on the steering wheel and Sabelt seat, which is set too high meant it was very uncomfortable. A pity as its fabulous otherwise.

Leave mine in sport mode it does between 35 38 mpg 595c

Nice colour whats it called?

How many mpg do you get on average?

A pity you can’t pronounce Competizione! It’s Com-pet-iz-ee-o-knee👍🏻✅

posh car 👍

Am a male early 50s am i to old to own one of these ?

Mai sentito abarth compassione ahahhahaha

the sound is pretty bad on your video...

Great girl racer car
