  • For this video while on a road trip from Rochester,NY to Miami Florida and then back-Jon decided to take a pit stop in here in Richmond to let me review his badass little Fiat Abarth! It was a great opportunity to drive something very different and see how it felt driving this little go kart around in the rain. As always, thanks for watching and stay awesome.

    There are so many reasons to get one if you're an auto enthusiast. Just so many...
    -that awesome exhaust
    -good Italian styling
    -great interior design
    -can be modded to be a rocket
    -the most fun you can have without breaking your wallet
    -isn't too expensive to fix
    -racing heritage
    -the looks on the faces of ricers and Mustang drivers when you smoke them = priceless

      @mattilinan Před 3 lety +1

      don’t get me wrong, i love me some cinquecento abarth action and i’ve even considered getting one, but unless it’s running fbo’s and like a stage 3+ tune w/ ethanol blend you are beating no mustang in a 500 Abarth.
      now on a tight B road thats a different story. you can probably outhandle most large muscle cars, so you got that going for you.

      @@mattilinan I’ve actually beaten a couple of mustangs with my abarth and my mods are coilovers, front strut bar, gfb diverter valve, catless Down pipe, upgraded coils, intake the go pedal and a piggyback tune, every mustang that’s challenged me has lost from a roll that is never went from a dig

      Hehe sewing machine shredding tires xD. Not the type of car I'd get, but they always make my smile when I see them. And concerning the wheel alignment...Fiat seems like it's still hunted by its bad history of build quality...unfortunately.
      And just like Parry said....badass OUTRO! (Looks like Mr. Patterson pulled the After Effects Card ;) )

    Nice... Now this is a review. Glad to see people really starting to appreciate the Abarth for what it is. We drove it last year, posted it on my channel last year and honestly almost took it with us as our support vehicle for the Italian Stampede in Cali last year. its roomy and to be honest it kept up surprisingly well with some of the exotics on the run. Few mods and BAM, what a fun car. Great review as usual bar none. Kudos.

    I've owned quite a few performance cars over the years - three Porsche 911s (two were 930 turbos), a Jag XK8, a Triumph GT6+, a couple of Dodge Stealths, and several others. My current Abarth (with a Magneti Marelli ECU piggyback, cold air injection and Forge blow off valve) is brutally quick and has been the most fun to drive of any car I have ever owned. I see you smiling in your video. You can't help but love this car.

    @punktVail Před 9 lety +13

    A friend of mine, is owning one of these beast things and we replaced the turbo with another bigger one (including sport exhaust system by akrapovic) and let the Abarth chipping up, cause of the turbo... now it has about 250-300 hp and it feels like its coming right out of the hell - if you open the channel of the bypass air in take system, the air flushes extremly loud out of the "airbox" - Abarth 500s make so much fun!
    Big thanks for reviewing - thumbs up, keep it on !

    I fell in love with this little monster when i discovered it back in 09 and got one as soon as i could in 2014. It's not the fastest or the most nimble by any means, but it is exciting. It's a sense of occasion to drive it. What really did it for me was driving through a crowd at a local Cars and Coffee, people gawking over Lambos, Ferraris, etc, that was so dense that GTRs and the like couldn't get through but my little Abarth split the crowd with people breaking necks to see what was causing such a ruckus all commenting about the noises it was making. Few cars, especially for less than $80k+, can do such a thing.

    I have a 2012 Sport that I have invested almost $10K CAD in aftermarket parts, they are a blast to drive and I've been doing the show circuit with mine. I'm from Prince Edward Island Canada and there's a total of about 5 500's in the entire province. 500Madness and Road Race Motorsports out of California are amazing tuners for these cars.

    Awesome to see this car again after subaruwrxfan's channel. It's such a sick little beast of a car! :)
