    The Abarth is such a striking car based solely on looks. It’s nothing like anything else on the road, dominated by Trucks and SUVs.

      I 100% agree, very unique car especially with the sound. Definitely a very eye catching car and why I absolutely adore mine! Thanks for the comment!

    this car is amazing, my first, but beautiful. of course i'm going to always want a faster car in the future, but i will never want to get rid of this one. the entirety of it makes me want to drive it everyday and i cant get enough of it. its unique if you're in the US and its definitely an eye magnet ;)

    Had one for 2 years and loved it. It never felt like a proper car however. The driving position makes it feel like you’re sat at the dining table or driving a small lorry, not driving a small hatchback.
    The power band felt pretty thin stock, floor it from 2k in second and you’re waiting around for a couple seconds before anything happens.
    But, it made a great noise and put a smile on my face !

    I love my Abarth almost as much as my 170hp R1. the 37-38 mpg @ 60mph is nice too. mines fully loaded as well. sunroof. auto climate. beats. 17inch alloy. leather heated seats. full 5% tint cause of that useless sunroof cover. never get rid of her. cheers

    I am seriously thinking about buying one of these. But they are very expensive these days. The only thing that is holding me back is I worry about the size and not having enough room for luggage. Btw you speak of the golf R which is cool but nothing is as unique as the Abarth.

    • @rocketboyreviews1463
      @rocketboyreviews1463  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t think you’ll have a problem with luggage size, with the back seats down there is plenty, especially if you go my route with the back seat delete. With the seats up however, it’s a different story

    @4:43 GTIs are in a different category of cars. The Abarth is a small performance car whereas the Golf GTI is a souped up grocery getter but for sure buying a new one is not a smart financial decision.

    This is a fun car. But it definitely should not be used daily. In the USA parts are very expensive and very few mechanics want to work on them. I had mine for 6 months and then tons of problems appeared. I have fixed most of the problems but not all. The cost is more than the car is worth. I drive in the weekends to go to beach. I will probably never sell it. Have fun with yours!

      Parts are annoying and will often get the wrong one online but for the amount this was for me when I bought it in 2018 was too cheap and fun not to enjoy it daily and its been solid for me. I don't do burn outs in it but the second gear skitches are wearing out my drive shafts which are not cheap. I've also left mine stock and just reduced weight. These multiairs dont like to very modded imo. Luckily I do have a local fiat dealer still to work on it if anything major does happen. Cheers

      You mean swap the 1.4 for a 1.4 T jet? I don’t think that would be necessary anyway, I know of one in Italy that has a 1.6 Alfa 4C engine in it, but the Abarth 500 and the 4C share a lot of similar parts, basically the same engine minus the boar out too 1.6

      130k trouble free miles on my 13' abarth. typical maintenance. i use only Castrol 5-40 and change every 4k miles. lots of front tires due to odd camber and wheel spin. always puts a smile on my face. faster than it seems slower than it sounds. almost as much fun as my 5vy R1 😊 ill never get rid of it and I've owned many vehicles.
