being a 595 owner myself, i couldn't agree more with you, but all these negatives are massively outweighed by the positives of having an Abarth, and only Abarth owners would know this.

Love to see which places you visited. Think some are very close to where I live which is a blast to see from one of my favourite youtubers.

great video Sam - you're hilarious. Imitating the petty squabble with your sister cracked me up. It's a silly car by any measure but your passion for it is endearing.

Love the review. Still wanting an abarth after owning a regular 500 TwinAir. But it is so expensive to get a proper one. And as you mentioned, almost nobody will notice. I never would've thought buying a 500 but my little engine is impressive! I love the the character that the car has, even the little nitty negative things like the crappy turn signal lever.

100% agree with you on the hard ride aspect. I drive a 595 and swerving pot holes is apart of the everyday drive. The turning circle is pretty poor too - apart from that it's the best little thing to drive around... I can't help but rev a little too much with that signature Abarth exhaust! Thinking of upgrading to Competizione..

Any car when you hit the air recycle switch will fog up the windows. Typically you recycle the air when you are running A/C to keep the cold air cycling. Being you don't have AC.... So the windows fogging is not a fist issue, it's a every car on the planet issue.

Good to hear and see that you are feeling better

love your biposto! i got a 595 and loving it every day!

Off topic but Sam I am so excited for the day when you take away that wrap on the McLaren. I just rewatched the collecting video and OMG your McLaren looks totally insane in black.

To be honest, I must say your videos provide this whole cinematic feel :)

Ok, here is some criticism: 1. You're complaining about the fuel efficiency yet, you don't own/drive a GT car. The Abarth is your daily drive which doesn't mean you should do hundreds of miles per day in it. At least in my opinion. Anyways...The GOOD criticsm: I really really reeeeally like your natural behavior! When I started watching a few videos of you, quite a while ago, I thought "Man, this guy is quite arrogant" Yet, you are such an honest, open-minded and clearly down-to-earth person that I bet is really nice to meet in person and hang out with. All in all I would like to excuse for my wrong grammar at any moment because english is not my first language. Greetings from Germany!

Why do people still think these jokes are funny?

i actually recognize where you are at 3:57 ! you drove through Harewood i literally live 5 mins from there haha amazing roads!!!

No A/C? That would be the death knell for me. Glad my Abarth has it.

I think it's a good point that only car people recognise it for the awesome car it is! Separates car people from the rest, it means you get a lot more respect from the people that do know what it is.

I have a North American 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth which is the European equivalent of the old Abarth 500 Essess or the current Abarth 595 Turismo. To soften the ride, I went in the opposite direction and installed budget shocks and struts, specifically KYB Excel-G shocks and struts. The car's now a bit bouncy at slow speed, but at least I get to keep my fillings at any speed! 😁

Proper Italian car, so distinctive and beautiful.

That is the one thing that annoys me. The fact most people think it's a fiat 500. When my log book states it's an abarth! I'm pretty sure the general public just think my car is a fiat 500 with a spoiler and stickers! Err no. But then on the other hand I get people who are generally interested about it coz they remember the original abarth 500.

You should check if the Abarth has a carbon cabin filter. If not, buy one and install it, it blocks many of the smells you mentioned.

Gearbox? Reviews said it feels spongy and lacking crispness during changes. What's your take on it now that you've driven the dog ring box

Sam explores the UK through his nose... that should be a spin-off series 😂😂😂

You should create a SoundCloud playlist mate. Some bangers throughout your videos.

Ehm, you know the "air circulation" button is ment as an switch to use in tunnels? So u dont like, get all the toxic air inside ur care, and when u start it to heat it up faster? Its not an mode to use at long periods of time.

I feel your pain Sam. I had an Abarth 500c a couple years ago. I absolutely loved the thing to bits but the whole "It's just a fiat" thing really got annoying. I eventually traded it in and got a GT86 instead.

Awesome video. Especially compared to the last one....

Nobody in their right mind would buy the top of the range Abarth, without taking a thorough road test. Apart from the cost, its an extreme ride, an few drivers could put up with such firm suspension, but this is the charm of owning and driving such a rare car. The main reason Fiat have removed the A/C from the BiPosto, is to save weight. The compressor that operates the system, weighs quite a bit, and if you thought the fuel economy was poor, just try driving with the A/C on, it will cripple your fuel efficiency. If you find it gets too warm in the car, just open a window slightly.

knew you was type of guy that fills the car up when there's a space in front of you already! 👌 throbber

Welcome to the North Sam, a place where everyone is friendlier and things are cheaper :D! You've forgotten your end cards again :P!

Great vid

I love that little rocket

Where were you going in this journey? I saw Silsden and Halifax Road, those are near where I live.

Brilliant video as always Sam, the quality just keeps getting better. Please reduce the amount you say literally though! Hahaha

I'm assuming you're happy with the driving position? One of the worst things I found with my 595 comp - seat too high and a wheel that doesn't adjust for reach. Nightmare for us taller drivers.

I have a 595 Turismo, and I agree that the boot chrome and passenger side badge declaring '500' is a bit annoying. The thing that is most annoying is that big cars (read: Audis) come right up the the bumper trying to intimidate you out of the way, no matter how fast you're going - they couldn't possibly be seen to be held up by a small car, no matter how quick. On the flip side, it's a nice Q-car to catch out unsuspecting bigger cars though. The list of things I love about my car is a lot longer than 5 things...

Lol your license plate looks like it say ODIO STG, which would mean HATE STG in Spanish !

Filled with super unleaded at the Jet station in Silsden (I thought I recognised it !)

This is a very original video!!! *passes out from intense sarcasm*

Thanks for telling us all about your Fiat 500 Sam... By the way, what was that you were saying about "taking a-bath"

I have owned a 2015 abarth and now have a 2016 yellow abarth. USA models. Also I have a 2016 mustang GT , my abarth is my DD. I have more fun and enjoyable times in this little car then my mustang at half the price. I'm always in a good mood and smiles in the abarth. Mustang is stressful, big boat!!! Maybe I just got used to smaller sized cars? Abarth is pretty much a STREET GO-CART. 👍🏼

I hope you are feeling better.

finally i know why my windows are steaming up every day in my abarth😂 thanks!👍🏼

Cool Video , (y) Seeing what yorkshire has to offer :) , inc Silsden , and cullingworth moor and beyond , enjoy what Yorkshire has to offer , for good driving roads look at settle , North Yorkshire ...

Sam, it sounds like the Mileage is not too bad? What I didn't understand is how your car's HVAC is different from everyone else's car even with the absence of air conditioning, because it is either outside air or recirculated air in every other car produced. It's not like you buy bottled air when you fuel up?

What were you doing in Halifax? Holdsworth house where you stayed there at the end if I'm not mistaken.

So really, you should have bought a normal Abarth 500? Lol. Air con, better fuel economy, softer ride etc..

Could you try some sort of activated charcoal filters on the air intakes into the cabin? I'm not sure if they even make them, but activated charcoal absorbs all kinds of nasty stuff.

embrace the "it's just a 500", it's quite fun when everyone assumes it and you get to drive the most rambunctious little sleeper! People always assume my 230+whp abarth is slow and you get all sorts of fun reactions when they try to race!

I got tired of saying "it's not a Fiat!" when I had mine. I miss it.

What are you paying for petrol over there? You mentioned you payed 30 pounds for fuel but you didn't say how much fuel. Just curious, hope you don't mind me asking!

It's based on the fiat 500 it doesn't matter what engine or suspension etc you have its still a fiat 500 just better. If that bothers you then you should not have bought it

Can u tell me the difference between all the abarths liie 500, 595, 695 and 959 or put a link somewhere where its explained?

I just bought the 595 Turismo and purposefully added the Aluminium fuel filler cap...

I was the owner of a 2013 500 abarth . Crazy fun to drive ... But always back at dealer every 30'days to fix my car under warenty. Warenty over ... Sold the car and Will never go back to Fiat! But sooooo much funn to drive !

i own a 595 and have never agreed with a youtube video more than this one!!

what phone holder are you using Sam?

Owner here, regularly get 260 miles out of the tank and thats not driving like a granny!

it's a fiat 500

I love my 595...despite the hard ride!

do a Video with your sister and you Go to London and she has to guess The cars

I wonder if the Abarth (not even the biposto, which I've never heard of until now) will be the new Miata.

Basically someone's view on motoring when they live in the city and leave it...

what window mount to you use for your phone ?

When I read the title of this video, I thought: ohhh, look this bald man saying wrong things of this amazing car! Ok, I was wrong! I have a Fiat 500 and some issues are the same: like the air conditioning problem! Nice video! I wait the next one!

That petrol station he was parked at in the thumbnail is is a town called silsden in North Yorkshire

A rubber jar opener might help with your fuel cap.

Which phone mount are you using?

Was that the jet filling station near Blyton?

I would recommend some Rain X for the windows steaming up,problem solved.

What is your iphone holder(carkit) on your windscreen?

That is pretty thing is pretty dam good on Petrol if you say it has a small tank and does more than 200miles.

Own both an Abarth and a Discovery Series 2. I get the same range per tank in both, but the 4.6 in the rover certainly makes it a thirsty beast.

Hello From Germany. I also bought an Abarth 5 months ago. Mine is the Facelift Competizione 180 MTA version. My (still) biggest problem is the Sabelt seat height. I have a sunroof...and that's why the middle part of the roof is lower. So I payed 500 Euros to place the seats 2,5 cm lower. The position is still too high. The other thing I don't like is the fact, that there is no Tempomat, Cruise Control. There are no seat heater...and no defrost in the side mirror. The steering wheel can't be positioned forward/backward...just up & down!!!Off course I also hate the Dashboard 500 sighn...so much, that I decided to visit the Koshi Group Carbon Factory from (Prizren, Kosovo) and will let install the Carbon Dashboard. There will be also a badge! Not 500, but 595 Competizione 👍👽👉 5⃣9⃣5⃣
