*cracking vid Jack. Well done mate. Great fun aren’t they!*

Great review, I own and love my 595 Turismo....Very few testers really get the Abarth thing, you nailed it!...

i own an abarth, i just don't know why anyone would buy anything else. but i'm really glad they do big up the abarth club.

Have to leave a comment here: The video is amazing! Shots, cut, voiceovers... Keep up the great work! Any more GTI videos coming? :)

I’m simple. I see abarth I like. Great video.

This guy needs so much more subs! Great video 👌🏼

Great review , I’m now on my second Abarth after a 4 year break with normal cars . What a machine they are .

Great video! You are a natural. You inspire me, thank you!

Thanks Jack! Love your video! It summarizes my thoughts about the Abarth 500 perfectly! Well done!

Great video again, you’re a natural at this mate :)

this channel is going to blow up for sure

Best review of a 595 ever! They're not for everyone.....thank goodness! I love my 595 Competizione.

You're doing a fantastic job reviewing this car!

Your vids are really good quality, keep up the good job mate, looking forward to more cool reviews👍🏼

Great channel and content fella, keep up the great work 👍🏻

Really nice review, good job. Next year I’ll get mine. I love in Milan and we have lot of them here

Great video, I have one of these and just going to the shops is an event! I feel it is a very underestimated car.

Very good video. Top work sir 🙌

Superb review! Couldn’t agree more 🔥🙌🏻

Another great video by the talented Mr Scarlett

The perfect pocket rocket the Abarth, we love it.

Wow, What a review, this car it's amazing it's so fun, you really enyoyed, congrats

Yet another top class video.

great review - totally spot on

Perfect video mate

It's also in one of the nicest colours available 😍 Another brilliant video 👌

This guys the new clarkson... subscribed 🙌✌️

Nice review mate

Brilliant Review Thanks

Your reviews are awesome Jack! Finally a decent automotive journalist who isn't a knob obsessed with power and mods!

GREAT VIDEO!

Cheers Jack! Another perfect review, everything I needed to know in under 10 minutes. Now to autotrader😂😂

Great video well said

I used to have a Abarth 500c manual. It was amazing. I wish I still had it. As good as my m4, m5 or any other car I have had. Great vids Jack!

Another great video Jack, keep it up buddy! 👍

Brilliant video

Great Video. The things you say are so true. I own an Abarth Competizione myself and I love it.

You're a brilliant presenter, mate! Future top gear presenter for sure!

Subscribed. Like where youre coming from. Not everyone has or wants to spend a fortune on a car that can do 200 mph. But we still want to enjoy a good drive. Well done.

This review shows what really matters in a review ! Great work buddy!

Got a 695 turismo on order can’t wait to get behind the wheel, best in its class.

Absolutely. I'm currently driving the latest turbo Swift Sport. Before that I had a 2016 normally aspirated model. But totally agree. The turbo Swift Sport is much quicker than the figures suggest. The handling is epic. Sliding around a roundabout has never been so much fun. No need for massive power. Just a small, lightweight chassis and enough power to enjoy it. I've had more powerful cars, and ultimately - they end up being more frustrating.

Just gone and got one this morning take delivery next week! Got bored of my 500 lounge so I wanted some fun!!

I had a alfa mito 95bhp and after the lease was coming to an end I originally wanted a mk7 golf r second hand obviously fast good looking practical but the deposits were just ridiculous even for a 15 plate I don't know how young you tubers managed to afford these golf's. I thought am I being stupid putting a lot of money down for a fast car. When I saw the Matte grey abarth I was like well hello little one test drove it absolutely loved its pokey with it's little grunt. It's fast in its own right.

Sold my Abarth Opening Edition 2hrs ago...miss him so badly now 😭

Oh hey there James May you're looking well. That was his whole thing with the Panda, wasn't it? You can drive slower cars closer to their limit on normal roads. Was the same for my 107, gotta take that thing right up to 6000rpm for it to do anything.

You really understand what the Abarth is all about : fun, fun and fun ! I've been driving Italian cars for already 30 years now and I could not imagine buying a non Italian car, because even an Abarth feels special. You're completely right to say that power is not everything. In the past I had a Ferrari F355 Spider with manual gearbox and tubi exhaust. It was hilarious. One day I had the opportunity to test a 458 Speciale for an hour on normal roads. I thought that it would be even more special, but it wasn't. Alltough the Speciale is much much faster than my 355, the latter gave me also goosebumps when I drove it gently, which was not the case with the Speciale. The Abarth is also a kind of old school group B rallye car. I bought my self in 2019 a new Competizione with manual gearbox and Performance Pack (mechanical diff). It replaces my Maserati Grancabrio MC which was also great fun but too big and to heavy to enjoy on mountain roads (I live in the north of Italy, close to Bergamo, yes the corona epicentre). With a simple ECU remap the engine now produces 205 bhp and 325 Nm, which is more than enough. All the horrible plastics in and outside have been replaced by / covered with carbon fibre, leather and alcantara. For the final result, please watch my video : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZqFqJyCxMDVmWw.html

Well said. I love my abarth.

I have one but mines 210 bhp with mta box the most fun you can have with your clothes on

This would make up for the 127 Sport and Uno Turbo I never owned!

I want one of these!

Enjoyed that Jack👍🇦🇺

GOOD VID I AM THINKING OF BUYING ONE 😀

Is that you on that drivetribe video about the midnight club? 👍

Awesome video and dream car right there. All the problems (and most of the good parts) i already have on my diesel 500 (modded 120cv), but now i want the fun and the power this little cars have, literally my dream car. *i always say this on my comments, i seriously thought about getting another car cause this car is little, but i love little cars. And i can still fit a full drum kit in my fiat 500 just by putting the rearseats down, so why would i change to car i don't like just to move my drums from time to time? Abarth it will be, hopefully in a near future

I have one myself and this the best review on this car I have seen so far. And I have seem quite a bunch. Cheers mate!

I know u dont fit in a miata but it would be a blast (and funny) to see you review it

Another great video! In terms of the car.... Abarth need to understand that great handling (and track orientated cars) don't need rock-solid suspension. Take a bow Megane R26R

Nice video, one of the best Abarth reviews so far! How tall are you? 😎

Is the driving position the same in all the range?

I got the abarth comp and honestly I do not sit high up I’m actually fairly low, it has upgraded sabelts but are they lower than standard? I’m a bit short but not that short

I had brand new Daihatsu tti and that was crazy fast

please make more videos on your vw gti mk5

Great video, any chance of doing a review of the 208 GTI?

Did someone loosen the Nitrous hose in the boot?

What mic do you use on the exhaust clip to avoid the wind wash out?

can you get the 595 in canada?

This car reminds me of my Renault 5gt turbo from the 90’s same engine too and it was lighter

Absolutely loved the video. I've had a "granny car" kia picanto for 5 years, was cheap when I was a student. Ready for a bit of fun now. My only concern is my current car is awful in the wet and ice, and I work up in the moors, how does it handle in different weather conditions? Thank you x

I love when people say its a fiat 500 though... until you take them out in it

I've driven the Esseesse version with 160bhp and felt like that was more than enough, with 180bhp I imagine this thing feels utterly beserk 😂

Girly car 🚗🤠

How tall are you ? I am 6’6 and I have been told no point in getting one 😢as you can see from my thumbnail I was going to get one in yellow .

I love mine, mines the 160 turismo, a quick map will see 185bhp with 240nm torque. That’s more than enough to use on our roads, only thing I’d say is sack off the Pirelli tyres they’re rubbish and get the Michelin PS4.

Is the 595 only sold in UK?

Hope it's worth it... getting mine on Friday...

Test drove one of these recently. Loads of fun but that high seating position really ruined the experience for me

True. The same applies to motorcycles.

And 500 Abarth in America?

Going fast isn’t fun, as my partner tells me.

you should of audition for top gear

Just sold BMW 435D and bought 595 Comp ... nuff said ... also own Maserati and the 595 is as fun ... character is hard to create and has been lost in many manufacturers - life's short and we have rest of our lives to drive around in sound proofed tubs, electric cars with gizmos and 0-60 of nothing or trumped up everyday cars that will get point to point in nano seconds and loose your licence. Live a bit I say.

Jeremy Clarkson...move out the way

Nope. Stage 1 map to 210bhp makes it feel ballistic.

love my unfortunately 160 hp American version abarth auto,,,,, love it, love it, though I"de rather have 180hp :) ,,,,,,,, 42,000 miles,,,,, no problems,,,,,

My friends say this is the ultimate girl car, but I love it and wanna get it but I don't wanna get roasted for driving it. What u guys think?

Just don't take it to a track with a lot of corners and you will be fine. The electronics are limiting this car under the frog's ass.

Petrol is dead in five to ten years.

A "Hot Hatch" also has to be a very usable daily car, this is where the VW Golf GTI has it in spades over any of it's "sportier/harder" harder to live with day to day Hot Hatches. the new Fiat 500/Abarth is an anomaly of the original. A tiny city car, bare bones, little comfort, in which the car somewhat succeeds fulfilling...a Hot Hatch? Nope....
