Great video - I’ve had one for the last year and a half as my first car and you’ve captured all the reasons I love it. No plans to sell mine anytime soon!
I've got one, all upgrades will be done: it's just a mini-GT3!!! Now busy mounting a 595 rear axle (don't ask for the problems...mostly rust-related). Upgrades so far: BMS airbox, KW var1, full Ragazzon, Tarox Slotted G88, Powerflex front and rear, Abarth front seats. And more still to come.... (weight, cams, remap) Edit: 595 Abarth axle is ready. Original wheels do touch the outer rim very lightly. DNA camberplates are ordered.
Engine is not same as in Abarth. T jet in Abarth. FIRE 1.4 in 100HP. Have owned both and when HP left as standard and been looked after is a superb car. The 6 speed box was fantastic on mine and a shame that Abarth 500 dosn't handle as well or feel as alive.
Haha nice steal! That's so cheap, I've got a multijet Panda and I did drool over the 100HP whenever I'd see one, but then the fuel prices went haywire, and I'm back in love with my Panda (not Trueno) - 3,3 l per 100 km 😀
glad you liked the car but seems you got one without the full horses, cause mine, admittedly with a very low mileage engine goes very quick in city and open road in sport mode. also the original goodyear f1 tyres which the car was conceived with, would have made a huge positive difference in my opinion, since the ones on yours are not. before i bought mine new, i tested a lot of second hand ones, and the difference was huge in how the cars changed gear and how they went, in other words much worse than a relatively new car.
Fiat made one mistake with this car: it should have made a 120HP version. They had what it takes, but they decided to neuter 80% of this car's potential.
I really dont get peoples fascination with these cars. It litterally fails against similar cars with the same power in almost every category other than price and maybe boot space. The interior is hideous and cheap looking the layout is strange and the seats are like foldable garden chairs. 😂😂😂l
I drive one for 4 years now. Fitted some leather Abarth interior, kw coilovers and OZ Superleggera rims. It's not about the power or speed in this car. Just lots of fun! B road killer tbh, a GTI is not losing me on a countryroad
To comment like that you either hate Italian cars or know very little. The 100HP was a test bed for Abarth re launch and won rave reviews in the motoring press. A great warm hatch. Fact.
Gone from a Punto (sadly died at 22) to Panda and now onto a Panda Cross all brilliant cars, nippy, fuel efficient and just a great little drive give one a go 🐼

Hi! Thanks for your review!
Can I ask you what phone holder that you mounted? It looks rather solid opposed to the one that I am using.
Thanks!

Had mine 10 years..... perfect little car
How could you hand the Yaris back? Anyway, proof you can have fun without finance.
Where did you get the steering wheel wrap?
Fun fun and fun again!
2:06 you were in Fiat neighborhood.

1.3mjt best kept secret if you care about mpg above anything else🦾

There's hype?

Not trying to be smart ass just genuinely asking… have you driven one?
