The 595 Abarth is a spicy hot hatch that has the Italian flare and the type of modifications you would't expect from factory - but is it good enough to buy one as your daily driver?

I have had two of these now and they are brilliant cars , ignore the little quirks these will make you smile and are highly tuneable and the engine is pretty bombproof. Good review though 👍🏻

Great review, I have an older 2011 500 Essseesse with the firmer suspension and find it much better than I thought on a long trip. The other day did a 400km trip, about 3 equal legs, with no problem. Took it on a long road trip, 3000km, the length of New Zealand where the longest leg was 700km with just short snack and refuel stops. Maybe it helps that in NZ long trips are mostly two-lane often twisty highway, not motorway cruising, so the fun part still comes into play!

If only you could hear my akropovic next to the monza think a lot of people would wanna race them both just to experience the thrill of it out of all the hot hatches I’ve had the Abarth will always be first especially after putting an induction in the turbo flutter just give you the racing car experience so much better will never get old

Great review. I am interested in one but think I’ll regret selling my mk3 focus st3. Especially heated seats and windscreen

Will definitely be far less comfortable day to day even though its fun. I'd personally stick with what you have if its a daily driver!

One of my first cars was a Renault 5 turbo, I was about 22. 1400cc turbo car was light and fast. Great around town. With no speed cameras either. Anyway a good one can cost around 25k. Out of my price range for some nostalgia. Hence I’m thinking about buying one of these for around the 10k mark, second hand as it would be a second city car. They look like great fun. I know they would be a great drive around an old Italian city. These cars are made for this sort of driving. If you have one Piacenza to Milan is a must..👍🏾

Sounds like a worthy car to take you back to the days of the 5 turbo. It’s great fun to zip around in. Hope you enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Ive only got a 1.4 non turbo 500 and that is quick enough for me 125mph if you push it hard and 0-60 around 9 seconds , I could not own an Abarth as the 6 second 0-60 time would kill me , Im not a good driver lol

I had four of the standard ones and would have loved a Comp! I'd be driving one now, but its just too small for our needs these days Baring in mind what its based on, they're great little cars, fun, people talk to you about it. Yes, other cars are more capable, but you won't be bored

Definitely a niche car but a very fun one! I wouldn't enjoy it for my daily driving but I had great fun borrowing it!

I always find myself looking for reviews of this car, and I even sat in one as a passenger and said that I would buy one but here where I live are so rare that I believe there are more Ferrari 488’s than Abarth’s and I don’t want to spend around 20k USD on one.

I want something like a 205gti/106gti, but new... Is the Abarth Comp the nearest I'll get to the peugeots? Along with the Up, these must be the lightest hot hatch

@ItsDanLatham 4 ай бұрын

Yeah this is definitely more of an oldschool hot hatch vibe. Even the top end picanto with the turbo engine is pretty good. The abarth is a lot more hardcore, firm, loud and lots of turbo! Up GTi is a good shout, or fiesta ST if you want something like the abarth but comfier and better handling

Decent little car until you need new front discs and pads. Nearly 850 quid at the dealer 😭😭

@joobie1000 6 ай бұрын

Jeez that's expensive got a pair of Brembo drilled and vented discs with pads for our abarth £140 brand new off e.bay and fitted at my mates garage for £95

@igxtoxicology5132 6 ай бұрын

Well mine were free as the dealer paid lols. so enjoy your eBay brakes.

@MrMarkeboy1234 Ай бұрын

And the rest mate I replaced my Brembo discs myself with parts from the main dealer and it’s over 1k for the good stuff.
