How is the car?

In Ontario these things have depreciated a fair bit. You can get one similarly equipped in this video for under $15,000 with less than 30,000 KM. I've spoken to a lot of sales people as well and most all of them say that they received the T as a trade on used Abarths. That being said though, having owned and traded an Abarth I have to say in hindsight that I would much, MUCH rather have had the T. The former was a joyous way to overload the senses when driving on twisting back roads, but it was a choppy, loud, and conspicuous car that very quickly became irritating when driving anywhere else more than a half hour away. Its kind of like what Matt Farah said in one of his "One-Shots" being that its a great car to blast through the canyons or on a windy road for 15 minutes, but too much to live with on the regular. The Turbo is honestly just as rambunctious and playful on the same roads, but its a bit softer and more forgiving on long journeys, and hides its extra power behind the veil of the cuter and significantly less threatening Fiat badges. If the Abarth is what you crave than by all means go for it, its still an absolute blast to drive, but if you want something a bit more practical for use everyday that is still exciting and fun, pick up a second hand T and enjoy it.

Ive had a Fiat TwinAir Lounge last year and recently upgraded to a 500S Convertible Sports model and love it to bits! Even with 100hp and Paddle Shift these cars inspire confidence and are zippy around town, I took mine 4,500 kilometres around Australia Recently it over takes Road Trains and any other obstacle you throw at it with ease out here in the Pilbara of Western Australia!

Callum Balodis I know this is an old post but can I ask with the Twinair are they powerful enough for such a small engine? Am thinking of buying that one and not sure how I feel about such a small engine

Young people take fun out life I love a manual transmission

this i great review, good job.

Did you just say... You wish there was back camera in a fiat 500? Loooool! Oh man.. You had me laughing

Love it

Very nice professional review. Nice car.

Yo! Great Dedication. stitch sprout What's your opinion about it, guys !!

Funnest car I have ever driven. Lots of personality fully loaded. Fairly cheap if one pics 3-4 years old.

Let me just say that Im thinking of getting an Abarth in automatic. Not because I'm lazy and don't want to learn, I'd actually love to learn manual. It's just that I live in the city and dealing with traffic, and all the other distractions while driving, it doesn't seem having a manual for fun would make sense.

back camera?? In a Fiat 500??

Radio controls are on the back of the steering wheel... I never use the actual radio to control it.

I've driven this car and at moderate speed in the city it felt as if it would tip over. The same for the 500 L..I'm surprised that you enjoyed it!

turbo is the US version ?i could not find any on the web

Backup camera in a fiat?? LOL

Did someone ever complain that the abarth has too much power? Ridiculous! And the price isn't much less.

I have a 2010 Abarth 500 Esseesse and I have to say, whilst it looks really good and has a lot of power, the suspension is not forgiving enough for me. It is way too uncomfortable on long journeys. Gotta love the noise that it makes though, especially with the record monza exhaust system!

Looks like fun but Fiat/Chrysler just has horrible reliability problems...think I'll stick with my Kia Rio..

Great car. Lots of fun to drive and the right amount of power. I don't like the automatic transmission though. They should have kept it standard. Much more fun to drive when you experience each gear. FYI, the volume and tuner controls are on the back of the steering wheel at your finger tips. I rarely use the knobs.

This is the base model Abarth for the European market

Time to trade in that A7...

How reliable have these 500s been?

@canto_v12

9 жыл бұрын

Harold TheTubeman Anecdotally I will guess that Fiat puts out a few more lemons than other car companies. The Fiat discussion forums have a few more people talking about serious defects in their cars, but Fiat takes care of this under warranty. The 500 has generally been fairly reliable, and they have been sold in Europe since 2007 with a decent reputation for long-term reliability. Here in North America the owners I know have reported very few problems and mostly minor. The powertrain, in particular is solid for 100k+ miles.

I wish these cars got better crash test results... I'd buy one if they were safer. The Chevy Spark scores much better, but I don't like the Spark. :(

Show us the engine

the Beats upgrade is actually really disappointing

How much do you pay in repairs for the first 10 years? Would it last 10 years? I’ve heard issues

your forgetting the ay !

Great car for Luca Sbisa to deliver those pizzas.

same horse power as abrath 135

Oh so it’s the same as the entry level Abarth in Europe but with Fiat badges on it and an auto box.😟😟

Yep! And in a desperate attempt to boost slumping sales, all 2018 and 2019 Fiat 500 models had the turbo. Too little, too late though.

Rodolfo because Italy equals pizza.....and not only that most pizza delivery guys back in the day drove really small cars especially in Europe. They would put Italian colours on the cars a lot to distinguish them

Abarth is much better, louder, more fun. Also why would need a backup camera lol

it's all about manual transmission, auto is a waste if you have a turbo.

In Europe you only learn how to drive on manual, you don't get a driver's license without learning it. All driving school cars and exam cars are manuals. Most people here drive manuals. Automatics are not as reliable and if they fail, cost a lot to repair.

25k is too much money for this car. Especially that the Hyundai elantra sport is out now. I guess you can park this is small spaces and it has a "look" but no way Im paying 25k for nice seats and a good stereo inside a wart of a car with a measly 135hp turbo motor. This car would be ok with the more pliable suspension and the 160 hp motor with an MT. but 25K for this cartoonish little globule, nah.

Todays car enthusiasts gotta suffer the gradual extinction of the standard transmission because my generation is what's known as lazy millennials.

25k for that? Fiat must be smoking some crazy shit

I am Italian and I did not find it racist at all. Even, if it were, as an Italian (100% born and raised), I would not bring up racism or other whining complaints like everyone else is doing in North America now. Italians are part of the oldest continuous civilization in Europe (if not the world) and we can take the insults. Naturally, when it counts, fighting back is important. But not in this case - and he was kind of right. I like the tricolore stripes, but I would choose them much thinner, more subtle.
