I have a 2015 North American Fiat 500 Abarth I bought in 2020. Still in decent shape. It's survived my attempts to mod it within the limitations of my insurance policy. 😁 He's right that it isn't a very good car. You need to pay close attention to the maintenance otherwise you could end up with a catastrophic failure. But when this car's running in Sport mode with both exhausts blaring, it's just an incredibly fun car to drive!

When you want to test some abarths of the right ones, whistle in Italy, there is one with 440hp in map 1 and 505 in map 2, we are talking about a 100-200 in 6,05s .. if you want I can give you the link and contact him, in addition to him there are many with 300-350-400hp, when you want I am at your disposal ..

It's great to see you guys reviewing a car with less than 600bhp occasionally :)

Hi, had an Abarth 500 for 1 Year and yes, at the beginning the seatng position seems kinda akward, but it is there for a reason. It is more a city / twisty road car, so you have definetly more overview in the city. And i think in that case partically the seating position is just right. It is definetly not a dragmaschine but a dramatic one and i loved it!

i think the main problem is that they had to create a base from which they could make both the 500 and the Panda, and that they had to achieve the roundness of the original model, making the roof and dash taller

4:33 That's open cause it's the stock airbox actually! The yellow "valve cover" is indeed not a valve cover, that covers where the air filter sits! Excellent video

@cmoney360CS

You are wrong, typically that has a hose and clamp. It’s because the yellow intake and air filter are aftermarket.

The big yellox part with the scorpion on top of the engine is not the valve cover but rather the stock airbox. It's left there for aestethic reasons since if you remove it you just see the bare engine. That's also why you see two openings which aren't connected to anything coming in and out of it.

Dear Max, the Abarth 500 with the small 1.4 liters engine, is a pure fun car, without expecting much. So You love or hate her, because can't be compared to any of the other little hothatches. For me it's a car with separate category 😉

The engine area is literally packed, the way how they squeezed the engine under the hood is impressive! I am not sure if is easy to fix for a mechanic if something goes wrong.

What has been done to it to get the pops and bangs?

It kicks the ass of many more powerful cars, especially in curves

The yellow cover is where the air filter sits. The pipe is missing because the air filter has been attached directly to the turbo hence the pipe is missing from the original intake.where it is missing.

Martin.....is that an ARM REST ? if it is, where is it from Surrey after market ?

and I said the seats are high in my Focus RS. Ford did change it for the later production models and made it available to change out the seat rails for the new lower ones. They are a real must have lol

Wanted an s mini but this lil car stole my heart , just so much fun and i love the sound of it. And it’s pretty comfortable i had a 10 hour trip last summer and it was surprising me how great it was, in my opinion more comfortable as the mini s or the bmw 1 series. + you can smoke a gti and surprise some bmws and audis as well:) i will recommend to buy one from a abarth or Fiat directly sometimes they have some models already to buy with a great discount if it sits there for a few months and you have the full warranty as well.

sorry, but the GTI stock says 0-100 in 6.4, this one says on the website 6.7 (stock), so "smoke" is a huge word. Also yes, if someone buys a bmw or audi with the least powerful enginethey can found, you'll probably beat them, but in the end you're still sitting in a minuscole tuna box, while they're sitting in a bmw or audis

I agree, its not even that good, but everytime I drive a Abarth it just makes me smile 😁

Awesome and charisma in abundance

which exhaust is that

The Yellow "engine cover" is the "old" air filter intake thats why its open because of the direkt flow from the Intake Kit, and probably they just kept the old on becuase of the looks, looks kinda sad without that tho :)

In Germany Abarths really aren't cheap. I think it's just the lack of space why it has no locking differential. Those cars have soul, either you hate them or love them.

looks fun

Is It a decat?

This car sounds better than my Gti

Dude that's the air filter housing not the valve cover. The black part is open because the air filter has been replaced with an after market filter.
