  • So I needed a new daily driver and after a whole day of research, I decided to go for an Abarth 500. Ive owned this car for a week now and this is what I think of this funky little car!
    The Abarth badge has been around for over 70 years and it certainly hasn't lost its reputation for being a proper little race car.

    Ive had my 2018 Abarth for about 4 months now, to be honest the only thing i would change in the design is the seat, Its a minor annoyance, but everything else makes up for it. The forge kit is something else, i did the full upgrade, but went for the bonalume switch valve so i can shut off the hiss if i want. Also slapped on a bombardone R4 exhaust with a sport resonator to keep it road legal, and a Eco Map, it runs about 170bhp which is tons of power for a light car. And sounds like an absolute Weapon 😅

    Had my 2013 NA. Abarth for a little over a month now. Loving it. Had several beetles in my younger years. Full size trucks for the last decade. Got the Abarth sight unseen off Carvana. Jumped in the 1st time. Felt like I was back in my 69. I feel like the Fiat had a good chance as an underdog, like the beetle did. But I dont think they will ever sell 500s here again.

      One of the few modern cars that had the fun feel and look of a. Classic.

    Cool mods, I will also tinker with mine once it's out of warranty. I have the 180bhp Comp amd it's plenty quick enough for British roads.

    Good looking car. I've just bought a 695 Competizione and absolutely loving it. Got it last week and I'm already past 500 miles. Only downside is the lovely red front bumper is already peppered in stone chips, down to the white primer. Need to leave it dirty

      That's just a sign of good times my friend. I really did love mine. I just sold it after I got three points!

      Bad luck mate. A sign of enjoying the car I'm afraid. Cheers

    I've never seen such a smooth rural road. My Abarth has been through some potholes in the country AND the city 😟 The only "regret" I have is buying him while still living in an area with awful roads.

    Lovely spec on the car man. The Forge induction kit really does make it extra special, got the same one in mine. Great vid 👍🏻

    Hi Joshua, Can I ask what company you bought the cruise control from as this is something I definitely want. I’m assuming you now have an extra stalk now?

    I think the standard abarth is 160hp. The regular turbo one is tuned for 134 hp.

      It got a rear cat delete but don't do the down pipe. It's way to loud and not practical.
