- Buying a 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. $10,000 CAD is $8,000 USD. Will the Fiat 500 Abarth be reliable? Did Yuri get a great deal on it at $8,900 CAD / $7,000 USD? What car do you think Jakub bought and will it be better or worse than Yuri's car?

FIAT, it outlasts better than Hyundai KIA. but not much else.
The side skirts are a common problem i had a body shop redo the adhesive. The trunk wiring is a common problem. Definitely get those wires upgraded if the problem persists. They tend to break. The calipers are red from the factory btw.
Thanks Krown!
That's awesome that #Krown sponsored this one!
It would have been nice if they would have made this car rear wheel drive
I like this choice! I got to drive two on the Angeles Crest Highway and this car was a blast! I also know what you got Jakub and it’s another good choice!
Thanks Chris! Jakub’s h3 hummer will have no chance against my fiat though ☺️
GTI?
Mazdaspeed3?
Love your videos Chris
Fiesta ST for sure
Jakub’s got a Fiesta ST for sure 😎
I'm saying it's a Golf, never saw them sold in that gray
Looked at the 500 Abarth and the fiesta ST. Bought a civic coupe. Far better value than both of those cars.
Unless he bought a Juke Nismo RS... Lol
Either that a golf or for some reason I’m thinking a crz
@@darrensanimalsreptilesfish30 boring...
The other car is a Fiesta ST - because of that grey Color
If you see the onboard shot you can kinda see the blue st on the passenger seat, I believe you're right
Could tell from the shape of the factory recaros
This is the answer
I was gonna guess that too just based on silhouette
I love my ST :) also a good "guess" because these two were always compared
Btw that 'cell phone holder' was a holder for the optional 'Tom Tom' GPS from back in the day lol
😎cell phone holder
Yep. I have an Abarth and that was factory NAV if you want to call it that. Car is fun but 100% junk.
I bought a GO 40S in 2018 lol
@@TheStraightPipes still tryna say it is 😂
@@jmcnichol1 why is it junk? I always wanted to build one up
Nice Fiesta ST you got there Jakub
The angle on the rear windows is a dead giveaway.
@@deyesed also the rag over the headrest that would say st
he posted on someone else's comment it wasnt that
@@MobiusGT yes well the blurred interior shot really show you blue/black Recaro seats from a Fiesta ST.
@@MobiusGT Focus ST then lol
Jakub is in a Fiesta ST 100%. You can see the steering wheel leather line where it changes from nice leather to cheap leather on the top.
I love the fist
Fiesta Big turbo here, shots fun as fuck lol.
Looks like the orange recaro seats too
@@laundrieshanging9077 sounds very nice, I’m just enjoying mine at stock right now. However I got a whoosh rmm 😋
I'm literally on the verge of buying an Abarth now because they are so stupid fun, and just stupid. Did I mention stupid. You're living my best life there Yuri!
I support you buying one
Do it 🦂
Seriously do it. The 1.4l’s are so much fun and you can get them to make 245whp without cracking the motor. They drive great with mods and sound crazy good no matter what level you’re on.
I’ve had one for a few months now and it’s hilariously fun...slow....but hilarious.
@@BostonRoger oh yeah, they sound fast until you get behind one. Even with a bunch more power they are still slow.
Great job on finding such a sweet $10k car guys!
Thanks for the buying help Shari!
Jacob has a Fiesta ST. He’s a Ford guy
There’s no way he found an ST for $10k... Well I guess maybe Canada’s prices are better for used but I certainly couldn’t find one for less than 12-13k
That’s what I was thinking.
@@natemathewson5200 what?? There are ones under 10k USD asking right now
@@natemathewson5200 You’re looking in the wrong places then. When I was car shopping I found several for 10k
@@confettihunterminus1 I’m in Michigan which is probably a huge factor. Rust free under 100k miles, good luck lol. Focuses and Fiestas both go for around 12-15. I got my Focus ST3 for $12k and that was an absolute steal
VERY good choice Yuri 🦂 I suggest a Magneti Marelli Bombardone exhaust which sounds even better.
SYMFONIA sounds better
@@ABoringTool Each to their own 👍🏻
@@HaggisNHorsepower Fair. Love the name BTW
@@ABoringTool Thank you ✌🏻
In the US they don’t have back-boxes so it basically is the Bombardone/Direnza. From the car back it’s straight piped

A fiat seems like a very, Yuri choice 😂
Yeah, he’s brave

@@sethsteener True, but I mean hey it sounds cool
@@5cylinderdreamz true true
@@sethsteener I mean for reliability, hell nah, but for an awesome driving experience? It's a killer combo, the regular one is so much fun to drive, so I can imagine how much better the Arbath is
LOL at the smoke ring!
Hehehe the car is still running fine!!
lol valve stem seals is already kissing goodbye!

As an Italian I'm very happy about this.
🤌🏼🤌🏼
As an American* 🤣
@@TheStraightPipes true, it’s just an fca product lol
@@kylesmith7755 Well FCA was majority Italian for what I know. Also, this car was developed in Europe. Today the group merged with the French PSA and got renamed Stellantis.
It's a fiat panda 169 underneath.
18:42 Jakub got a Fiesta ST
yyuuuuuuppppppp
FINALLY
Would make sense if he got a Fiesta ST bc he likes the Ford's. That would be dope if you're correct
the blurred exterior looks like a honda crz
I recognize those Fiestas ST recaro seats in the mystery car!
So this is the 2nd cheap car challenge in this channel. I'm looking forward to this
The other cars a fiesta ST I'm almost certain, I own one and the seats even blurred look like fiesta recaros.
Wonder if the other car is jacobs car. Looked like a fiesta st when blurred
No, no, Yuri. You’re one of us now. You have to pronounce it, “Ahbart.” Lol. Also, the skirt separation is a known issue. When you go and get it reattached, make sure you have them use glue AND the 3M tape. I love how Jakub blurred out his whole car. It’s like he’s driving a giant genitals.
17:21 that nervousness on Yuri's face for the redline shift
For some reason I always think of the song “We Speak No Americano” by Yolanda Be Cool when I see a Fiat 500.
Same😂
You’re not alone
I rented an abarth for a couple days a couple years ago. Put 303 miles on it in two days. Thing was an absolute BLAST to drive. I honestly think that they’re the FWD Miata. And that exhaust note is by far the best of any 4 cylinder out there.
Srt4 sounds sick too
Oh this is gonna be good! We are long time viewers at Eurocompulsion!
Your mod (at least visible in the video) list:
1. ATM Holy Cowl Intake
2. Turbosmart Waste-gate (good for stock and lightly tuned cars).
Seems like a pretty good find for the price!
Hope Yuri tunes his Abarth with Eurocompulsion! Their tunes are really powerful and well dialed in. It really feels factory tuned. A Phase 2 Abarth can match the speed of a 2 liter hot hatch due to its power and weight ratio and still retains all the nimbleness of such a light car as the Abarth
Guess: Ford Fiesta ST
I wish I could find one for 10k
@@TheStraightPipes 🤔 Focus RS? No, I think you drove one of those before.
Totally a Fiesta ST with the blue stitched Recarros.
@@TheStraightPipes There is one at $8,500. (2:33)
@@swaroopajit good catch!
My guess for Jakub's car is: Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Or focus st 😎
@@YouChoke1v1s he said he wishes he could've found one under 10k in the comments
My money is on an Evo X
@@tiagomnlmnl Unlikely, Evo Xs are expensive and in the video the roofline of Jakub's car is quite slopy towards the end. Evos have a boxy cabin and are quite sedan like.
If it's leaking oil, it's still got oil. 😊
lmao
Jakub's car has to be Ford Focus ST 2014.
I am 120% positive for that.
Nah buddy it’s more than likely the Fiesta ST
I purchased a 2014 fiat Abarth in December 2020 with only 16k miles for less than 10k. It’s only been 4 months and Its immeasurable how much joy it brings to my life!
Yo same, I got mine in November 2020, it's a 2012 with 18k miles and I paid 10k, such fun cars
I’m so excited about this for you! Make sure to learn all the quirks (vid on my channel) and get a short shifter. Enjoy!
What car would Jakub need to get to beat me?? ⬇️⬇️ For sure I'm winning this one
I'm Jakub... there's no way I can beat Yuri and the Fiat 500 Abarth... this is definitely Jakub
Ford Fiesta ST, maybe?
CR-Z!!!!
They came with red calipers from the factory btw 😎
Blow off valve lets you adjust if and when you're gonna get the phatata or the pchewww. Intake lets you hear it. Wastegate lets you adjust how hard the turbo works and some other things
Not "long" gears, rather boost from 3500RPM, as in, you should remain above that line always from first, not when rolling and going from 4th to 2nd.... FYI, same engine as the Jeep Renegade 1.4T I have been requesting a review on since about 3yrs... Keep it up, you guys are the best!
Had an Abarth for three years with a ton of mods, man I miss it. Never let me down, and always left me with a smile.
The Fiat 500 Abarth has so much personality and is the best sounding car at its price. I'm guessing Jakub bought a Fiesta ST that needs some work. Once that Fiesta ST is fixed up it'll be the better driver.
Yes, it's obviously a Fiesta ST. You can't miss that D pillar, even pixelated.
Put money on it
That's a blow off valve. Here's a key:
- Blow off valve is on the intake side. When you're on the gas, the turbo winds up to compress the air, but when you let off the gas, the engine takes in less air but the turbo is still moving, so excess pressure builds with nowhere to go. To release the pressure, the blow off valve vents the excess air pressure to atmosphere.
- Diverter valve: Same as the blow off valve but it vents back to the pre-turbo intake instead of venting to atmosphere. Doesn't make that cool "whoosh" noise.
- Wastegate is on the EXHAUST side, even though it's activated by intake pressure. This keeps the turbo from spinning up too much. When the intake pressure is at max, it activates the wastegate, which diverts air away from the turbo to stop it from spooling up.
Tip: Wastegates, if they vent to atmosphere, make noise when you're ON the gas; whereas blow off valves make noise when you come OFF the gas.
With FCA turbos (Fiat, Alfa Romeo, others), an aftermarket blow off valve is the first mod you should make, since the factory ones aren't sensitive and will bleed off too much pressure, yielding massive turbo lag every time you let off the gas to shift. Good for you that the previous owner already did that.
The US spec Abarths sound so great from the factory because they didn’t even come with a back box, it’s a mod that loads of people here in Europe do 👍
The back box heat shield also rusts to bits very quickly :/
Ok, you guys are beginning to scare me. I bought my first car just under a week ago, and it's a Fiat 500 Abarth in the exact same color scheme as this, except mine is a cabrio. I had it shipped from Florida to Michigan and I did some detailing work on it myself and just got it back from the shop. It drives like a dream and I couldn't be happier.
Straight Pipes has become Top Gear for millennials.
It's pretty cool, but i think it was kind of expensive for the damages and the rust, especially the hood and trunk...and the guys doing a "Safety" and not seeing a leaking Caliper is crazy...
I love your vids their so funny especially the Charger Police video where you put the Bad Boys song from the hit TV show Cops. You should do more police car videos because they are so funny. Do a Explorer Police Interceptor next for your review?
Jakub has mitsubishi lancer evo 10. for sure. Look at 1:35 . The blurred name ends with X and the front bumper looks similar to a mitsubishi lancer evo 10. And the blurred image shows a small spoiler.
The 500 Abarth exhaust sounds awesome. What is it about Italian cars having the best exhaust?
No clue but I love it
Best sounding stock 4cyl turbo? I think so.
I trust in Italians making great engines (thus exhausts) and car designs. When it comes to electrical stuff, major yikes
@@ufokkenwotm8 As a former owner of a 90s Alfa, I agree. Drivetrain and chassis was magic and reliable, electrics...very fragile.
Not a bad price on the Fiat. I've been looking for a cheap but fun car lately and all the Abarths I've seen were several thousand more.
I've literally been looking at an Abarth for a fun spring/summer/fall car... and this video just pushed me over the edge.
Do it, they are seriously fun cars. I bought one as my daily and it's a blast!
You could get a 500 turbo. Same engine and Trans, just missing a tune to get it to abarth levels. And an exhaust mod. Its a much cheaper buy for basicaly the same car
@@THEBIGLYO Hmm, that opens up a lot more available cars and for cheaper in my area. So, exhaust + tune and I get a "sleeper".. hmmm
At 4:52 you can see it has a turbo smart wastegate actuator. I can't see in the video but if i had to take a guess i would say it probably also has a go fast bits diverter valve or some kind of blow off adapter. Didn't watch the video all the way through before commenting but the intake is the atm holey cowl intake which is probably the best for low IATs since it sucks in cold air from the windshield cowl and not the always extremely hot engine bay
ford focus st mk 2
or
ford fiesta st mk7
Just remember, sport button always and forever. Fiesta is gonna beat it tho. I owned both at the same time. Abarth was a lot more alive, but the ST always got the job done way more efficiently.
I bought my Abarth 2 years ago and it still makes me smile. (New Jersey).
Mods look like just a Ambient Thermal Management Holy-Cowl intake and Turbosmart Wastegate Actuator. The trunk issue is likely due to the rear hatch wiring getting brittle, happens a lot in colder climates and just needs resoldering.
Krown Rust Control?! Never even heard of these guys. Way to leverage anything to get quality content, that's wife-approved.
Best sounding HB under $10k is a 5cyl Golf with straight pipe 😁
That's probably a Lancer X, probably a Ralliart and maybe even the one with fun weird back. Can't wait to see how right i am (and also, the car).
Congrats on the awesome little 500, Yuri! What a sick toy.
A Ralliart hatch would be hella sweet.... I've Literally seen only one video on it from motorweek lol
Just gonna make a guess and the other car is a Veloster? Something about the back windows - the steering wheel and that Hyundai gray color.
Saw one of these the other day...the wife thought it looked terrible. Me on the other hand, I've always had a soft spot for them. They always seemed to be fun cars...enjoy the purchase!
I bought a fiat 500 Abarth new in 2013. 2 months later it was gone because it was a lemon.
I have a 500 and the shifter bushings did break, two different garages have crushed my rocker panels, both door handles have broken, I have intermittent rear hatch issues and my arm rest has disintegrated and I absolutely love this car. Fun every time I drive it. The break calipers come red btw.
Heck ya
Other car is definitely a FiST. Best fwd car for under 10k imo. There are better cars for the money (Mustang, Miata, Cobalt SS, etc) , but not if you're deadset on a hatchback.
I swear to God, I picked up my 2017 Abarth a week ago and started it up... at 6:18 I can confirm this is my reaction as well! Amazing car!
R56 Mini Cooper would be my choice. If not, a 6MT, V6 Accord.
White on white wheels with the red interior is the best spec. Props!
I have the regular 500. It can be fun around twists but the abarth is just stupid fun.
I have been a owner of the 500 abarth for 3 years and I always get excited when Im about to hit the road great choice Yuri!!!
You basically have to rust protect your cars in Ontario/mid west USA. Salty roads! Here in Alberta, we like rock chips instead 🤷🏼♂️
1:28 I think I see the car guys *_-
Na I don't this so. Looks like a random BMW suv
I love the noises that thing makes. Also I think Jahub has bought a Hyundai.
I think he got fiesta st you can find good ones for under 10k it can also be a focus st but they are going to be trash soo i definitely think its a fiesta st
In my hot hatch search I was literally between a FiST and the 500 Abarth. I regret not test driving the Abarth earlier since it was scooped the night before going to the dealer. I ended up paying a little extra for a more reliable low mileage ST. Gotta be honest, the exhaust note of the Abarth is waaayyyyy better.
I never would've guessed a fiat😭🤣
Thats not Fiat, thats abarth
It's an Abarth and it's an awesome little car
ngl that Abarth sounds amazing 👍
@@yskelo2033 even then, that turbo flutter made me think it was something wayyy more expensive😅
I can definitely say Jakub doesn't got a Ford Focus RS 😅
It looks like Jakub its in an adult japanese movie with the amount of censorship that its around him.
💦💦💦
You guys seem way too chill about the dealer not disclosing the massive amounts of rust on that POS. Is that just something Canadians expect from their dealers? No way I'd have taken delivery of that car looking like that. But I get it: it's all for the clicks, yo!
Ya I dunno. Kid was coming in 2 weeks. And with covid. Don’t have that much time to go back and forth and stuff for this one. Plus Canada is rusty 🤷🏼♂️
My guess at the mystery car is......Mini Cooper S
If it is a R53 JCW it has a chance...otherwise no.
I have the same thing happening to my side skirt on my 12’ fiat 500 Abarth. I looked around online and figured out most 12’ 13’ abarth’s have that because of a factory shortage of epoxy at the time! Love the car though you’ll have a blast!
🔥🔥
This video just made me happy
Made me feel like I was 17 again
Why do you guys care so much about satellite radio? Do unlimited data plans + Spotify not exist in Canada? Not sure how anyone could spend the money for the terrible audio quality of satellite radio. I would rather listen to Spotify though my terrible phone speaker than Satellite radio through any sound system money no option.
Amazing selection of music from DJs built into every car
My guess for Jakub’s car is the fiesta st
My sister has an abarth and it’s got so many problems. They sound amazing and look nice but lots bad cars over all. The side skirts always come off. The doors seem to stop working from time to time. The door handles break like crazy cause there cheap plastic. The windows like to drop off the window rails. The seat likes to lock and not let u access the back seats. And the linkage cables for the shifter like to break as well. just a heads up.
Also it doesn’t come with a muffler from the factory.
It’s a shame the fiat 500 abarth is being discontinued in the U.S.
I can't believe Fiat isn't being discontinued altogether. My local dealership was forced to buy a couple 500s and a 124. They received a mid trim 124 that was a really good car, but nobody would be caught dead driving a bright red Fiata with Italian flag stripes down the hood. They sold it brand new as a two year old car during the pandemic for $7,700. They got hosed on the deal, but they wanted that space back for cars that actually make money, ie Ram trucks.
@@americansmark If Stellantis shuts down Fiat in the US they have to pay the dealerships restitution for the loss. I heard the amount is something like a million dollars+ per dealership, hence the reason why they haven't officially shut it down
Fiat has terrible reliability issues
@@TermlessHGW nah not really... here in Italy you see Pandas, 500s and Puntos being used for almost 300k+ miles without major mechanical problems. Interior quality? Generally on the low end... but some have fun designs. In my experience my family used a Panda as a beater (and I truly mean beater) car for almost 10 years and though it is in terrible exterior condition, no mechanical parts have ever needed maintenance. Plus repairs are usually super cheap, but that may differ in North America...
Good fucking riddance. Anything Fiat is huge heaping pile of junk. Anyone who considers buying anything from Fiat is either stupid or they have money they don’t mind setting on fire like these guys
I'm guessing he either got a Mini cooper or a Ford fiesta ST
White wheels are honestly BOSS 😍😍😍
You guys should definitely drive the new 695s
Yuri: "There's my cat!"
Non car people: WtF tHeRe'S nO cAt!!!
I hope the other car is a PT Cruiser GT! With Mopar Stage 1...
Ahhhhh I’ve been asking you guys to check one of these out for at least a year. The abarth really surprised me the first time I drove one, super underrated car.
Lol in the subtitles the exaust notr is represented as Music🤣😂
I used to own a Fiat 500 Abarth. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned. I miss that car!
So I shouldn’t sell it ever
10,000$ for a good condition abarth 500 is fine, the cheapest one in texas I could find right now is 11,000$ USD.
This was 7000 USD conversion
Aye 10k😏sounds ok tho👌
Congrats on the purchase Yuri! I bought a used 2016 Fiat 500 Abarth Auto for my wife last year, and IMO is still one of the most fun car for the dollar. A year later, my wife still enjoys it. I drive it sometimes, and even it is auto, it is still fun.
Just an FYI, check if there are oil leaks at the sparks (AOS o-ring leak), and maybe get the AOS cleaned and PCV filter changed. Easy DIY that takes about 1 hour.
Definitely jealous of the Abarth!!
Jakub must've got another Ford - a fiesta st
I've had an abarth for 4 years now and it's an absolute blast! You gotta go catless yuri you won't regret it trust me
Kk fine lol
Now I am wondering how many of us Giuliano’s drive an Abarth lol 😂
The side skirts becoming unglued is a very common problem on the Abarth. They can be removed and refitted with 3M body moulding tape and new clips. I'll have to do it on my 2015 Abarth which cost me $11,950 CAD + tax last summer, only had 68,000 km and didn't smell like cigarette smoke. 😁
Get a CravenSpeed short shifter. It'll remove a lot of sloppiness in the shifts.
Love how Jacob even covered his seat 😂😂😂
Because it has stitching that says "ST" underneath
The Fiesta ST will definitely win this challenge
Revving it out at the funeral home, nice! Wastegates bypass exhaust gasses past the turbine, blow off valves depressurizes the intake tract between the compressor and the throttle plate. I hope the rust is just surface...
Focus St or Fiesta. St there is an ST maybe Focus
