I have a 2019 Abarth 500 and in the US version they fixed every problem you spoke about- seats, boost gauge, etc. The new colors are more contemporary (I ordered sting ray gray with bronze rims with no ridiculous vinyl) and the front end is much better looking. They did however, only give us a 5" screen which is smaller than my smart phone... and it turns the back up camera in to 4:3 format with very low resolution, so it's like trying to look at Dick Tracey's watch. Aside from that it may be the greatest car ever made.

Best vid yet your getting better all the time really enjoyed watching these videos as I love the abarth but would own a St I'm buy a st2 mk8 next year with the performance pack and full led lights in race red

Andrew Maple You’ll love it. Not a fan of red cars, but I love the look of the new ST in red 👍🏼

Just a note on the seat adjuster, I think I have a theory, but I may be wrong - could it be that when the car is made in left hand drive the seats are swapped around, therefore the driver's adjustment would be on the inside and not the outside? I'm probably wrong, but it sounds a bit feasible.

@vonR0X 5 жыл бұрын

You nailed it! Keep up the good content... And about the boost gauge... It's in the wrong spot only for people driving on the wrong side of the road :DDD For the rest of us it's right where it needs to be ;)

What did it feel like getting back in your St after being in the abarth for so long ? Would you get a abarth or did you think the St was a all round better car ?

@JBCTR 5 жыл бұрын

Andrew Maple The ST is remarkably different to the Abarth. Getting back in felt very low for one - that was most noticeable as you sit so high in the Abarth. But the flip side is that it’s far easier to get in and out of the Abarth. I genuinely would struggle to choose between the two. They both have completely different driving styles too. In an ideal world, I’d like an ST for me, and an Abarth for my other half so that I can drive it 😁

Say you had a modified MK7 Fiesta ST about 240BHP would you rather keep the ST and take it further or grab one of these?

@JBCTR 5 жыл бұрын

DSG Farts Difficult one but as you are asking the question, probably time for a change! Try get a test drive in one of these that is a bit longer than just round the block. You need to live with it to understand it, but once you get there, it’s an awesome piece of kit.
