Having spec'ed up a Comp to get as close to the Rivale spec as possible, it made financial sense to get the Rivale. Glad I did. The leather seats are better for my back too. Thanks Stef for focusing on the Rivale for a bit. Little else out there on it.
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me
Yeah wooden dash for sure. Yeah its limited, apparently it is not available in the US- bummer! I wish I was spilling money everywhere, but I'd still like to have one. Thanks for your review!
Hi ,Thanks for a great review. I have. ordered this exact car on line with out a test drive , I part exchanged my 3.2 TT and change over should be this coming week . I will let you know how I get on !
Love a yellow comp. some very nice ones out there too. No doubt will be back in a Abarth of my own in future. Just not yet. Also suggesting a BMW and buying one are slightly different ;)
Eventually the next abarth on the list to purchase will be the convertible abarth of any type for optional helmet wearing track days after a few tasteful mods
Got to say I never understood the this model, but your right it’s aimed more for wealthy yaughty people (lol I’m sure yaughty isn’t a word) Ace video as always stef. Ps abarth or not I’ll still be here to watch the content 👍🚗🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬
Guys ! what you say about the mta version ?? i´ll buy one comp maybe it will be the rivale. i will use the car 90% in the city so i thought the mta will satisfy me more in a long time term.
I’m putting a front mount intercooler in my abarth as we speak. 👍I took a break to watch your vid. I reckon you miss your 595 right about now mate. 😄 you’ll have another I know it!
Stef ABtv cool. I live in high wycombe now. I watch your videos every time you upload. I love cars. I like the Abarth a lot. In my spare time I go to car showrooms to sit cars. I recently drove to slough Fiat and abarth and sat in the cars there. I only have an old fiat punto. I’ve only had my license for a year too. Thanks for replying by the way.
Stef ABtv yea like you said in video goes much better with the whole idea of the car, Would maybe be a nice idea if they added the wood to the door panels also?

No worries Ben. Yeah I found that too, not many full video reviews on the car other than a brief overview. Glad your enjoying yours!

Awesome! Brilliant choice
Is a nice every day car. I've got one with wood dash, that sound is .... no words :P
How does it drive? My esseesse suspension is rock solid with koni FSD
Looking at buying an Abarth 595 comp atm, any advice? (based in ROI, importing from UK)
My advice is buy one.
I just love this car and gonna to buy me one, cab version ! :-D
Get a Yellow Comp...to your spec.....my heart sunk when you suggested about getting a BMW.

Nice choice!
Going to be in the market for a rivale in the next 1-3 months. Hopefully i find the wood dash

Ace video as always stef.
Ps abarth or not I’ll still be here to watch the content 👍🚗🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬
Thanks Craig! Really appreciate it!
Nice camera work. Is it just you putting all of this together? If so, good on you.
Yeah I film and edit all my videos. Every now and then will ask the mrs to hold the camera or use tripods :)
Well it's quality because I have made a couple and it is hard to get to a point where the end product is crap compared to yours :)
Great review Stef 😎 my Rivale is now 9 days old...
Going to give it a Lotus wax now...😎against rain ☔️
Awesome man. Enjoy it! :)
Guys ! what you say about the mta version ?? i´ll buy one comp maybe it will be the rivale. i will use the car 90% in the city so i thought the mta will satisfy me more in a long time term.
Nice review thx👍
Why is there different names for Abarth I need your advice I want an Abarth , what’s the difference in 500-550 - 695 etc I’m totally new to fiat
595 base model 145 bhp to 165 to 185 bhp
595 is base model 145 bhp 595 competizione is 180 bhp sportier version and abarth 500 are the old models
I’m putting a front mount intercooler in my abarth as we speak. 👍I took a break to watch your vid.
I reckon you miss your 595 right about now mate. 😄 you’ll have another I know it!
I think eventually I wouldn’t rule out getting back in an Abarth as a personal car :) just not right now
You drove through bourne end. Where do you live.
Maidenhead 🙌

Nice of Abarth U.K. to lend you a car 👍🏻 it’s a shame they cannot supply the car you ordered Customer service is 💩
Sorry to hear that man :( yeah the press teams have been good to me for sure. So greatful
Doesn't this model come with a lsd standard?
That one is nice...😎
🙌
Nice car ,Think I would prefer the wooden dash agree with you on that one Stef.
Thanks Dude. Think it suits the car :)
Stef ABtv yea like you said in video goes much better with the whole idea of the car, Would maybe be a nice idea if they added the wood to the door panels also?
Nice video mate. I would have a Coupe as a daily driver here in Madeira mate.
Cheers.
Nice! same prefer the coupe
NICE review .. Defo a car catered for the dare I say richer lady ..
Thanks dude!
Make me want to buy a Abarth Punto Evo instead of a golf tsi pleaaaaaase
Do it :) drive one you will love it
Stef ABtv they are just so rare and Its gonna take me ages to find one close to me to test drive 😂 hopefully that day comes soon though :)
there are a few about, i managed to drive a few before i bought mine,,, even got the essesse but those are very rare
John Kirkland from dealerships or previous owners ?
1 at a dealer and the guy i bought mine from let me drive it first, have you been in one as a passenger?
People who know hi-fi know that beats by dre is utter rubbish, especially their headphones. £25k for a 500 is quite steep. Definitely a comp wins.
Always a fan of the comp!
