Abarth 595: The Most Fun Pound For Pound
U can change gears manually in sports mode
Thought as much, as when I tried regen, Joe took it out of Sport Mode.
this is as swedish as MG is british ...
Designed and built in Sweden and quite a big portion is still owned by Swedish companies.
@@studentstudent5044 I have to agree, they're quite proud of it.
I’m going to maybe get an s1. If you had to choose - inc the day 2 day stuff would you still choose the s1?
The biggest factor at the moment is that S1s and 595s are half the price. As a car, the i20N is the most dynamic, but it just didn't feel special. It depends what's important to you and what your budget is. If you wanted the dynamics of an i20N for half the price I'd recommend the latest Fiesta ST. Otherwise the S1 just feels exclusive, well... like an Audi. If I didn't get the S1 I would have got an ST for the same price. Hope this helps!
Brill! yer it does thanks , the car is “for the gf”. I still think the Audi does day to day better and feels snug in a good way even though it’s older. I’ve found a device you can get CarPlay up with and I actually prefer the pop up screen over the big displays so winning. Everyone knows the st but no one knows the s1 and never see any, part of it’s charm all these years on I think now :)
@@badusername4 Pleasure, glad to be of help. I see, "for the gf". S1 and ST are a good comparison. Might be worth comparing back to back? Funny you should mention the infotainment screen... I have mine down and out of the way 90% of the time barring for navigation. It's nice to only have the road in front of you. Definitely, bit more special, bit more interesting, bit less seen. Thank you for subscribing, let me know how you get on or if you have any questions!
Great video as usual. I know we’ve already spoken about this but I would like you to keep the S1. I’d get the bits you’re mentioned done over time. I’d love to see the finished product 👍
Thank you very much, and for being a Dartmoor advocate. It will likely be a case of keeping, maintaining and enjoying until I am able to upgrade now. There's not going to be anything better for the price, so it's a really good car to have. One aspect I'm more and more interested in, is the fact the S1 is almost completely a standalone car, unlike the A3/S3 which were both Quattro. The A1 had to be redesigned to become the Quattro. So quite a rare thing. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter, I appreciate your support and recommendations!
@@eddieariesThat sounds like a good plan for the S1. It will be nice to see the S1 improve over time. I did see one today in white which didn’t stand out anywhere near as mush as your car.
@@stevensfourwheels Thankfully most of the maintenance points are cosmetic barring undercarriage inspection. Loving its new hot hatch character now too. Haha, a special car deserves a special colour - especially harking back to the original S1.
It’s Merthyr Tydfil
Sorry... do you pronounce it 28:36?
yeh some 1 series drivers seem to think they're on the Nurburgring, some A1/A3/Q5 drivers seem to think they are on the autobahn, Peugeot and Citroen drivers of all ages seem to be very relaxed about the highway code. Mercedes is a mixed bag from pensioners taking it slow to total hooligans. I don't see enough Polestars in my area to judge. What about the best driven? I'd say maybe Jaguar & Porsche as they tend to be bought by people who like driving and care about their cars. Also Volvos and Saabs as they tend to be bought by people who are interested in safety.
I have a theory that most of the time German cars are just too capable for UK roads. That and their drivers can be quite impatient. You're spot on with your observations though, I have to agree. "Best drivers" is a great question, and they are some good contenders. We can discuss that next time! My initial thought is Honda?
Got the exact same year amd model CDTI 2.2 with 170K miles on her, no issues except a recent alternator swap ( pig of a job to do) otherwise cannot recommend these SUV,s enough 👍👍👍👍
Another banger upload from Eddie Aries. I hope you can make a career out of this, with modern Top Gear being ass for the past decade and the Trio likely retiring after this final Grand Tour special, there's definitely gonna be an opening in the market for a group of 3 English friends who love cars as if they're people
Honestly, you're a legend for saying this. It would be absolutely incredible to follow in their footsteps. As you said before, it is the audience that dictates what happens. So with support such as yours, the world is our oyster. Thank you for your continued encouragement!
I can do one better my corsa can park itself hardly ever actually use it apart from an occasional laugh.
Haha, what a party trick. I'm sure you're skilled enough not to need it!
I've got them on an Audi A1 they came as I bought it with extras that had already been added. I'm a retired truck driver?
That's fair enough, I've got them on my S1, previously specified. What we're really saying is if you need to spec them on a compact car as a choice, there might be a concern. Nice feature to have in any case!
I know what you mean about being scared of losing your license. I’ve had mine about two months now and the temptation to cane it down a 30 limit road in which you could easily get to 60 or 70 is too high 😂
It's such a capable car and the majority of UK roads don't support such. I also found out that it's actually running 300bhp, which doesn't help. Video to follow!
A timeless classic, I just treated mine with a non-reflective sapphire glass and it looks wonderful !
Agreed. It's currently my daily watch again. That sounds great, what a fantastic upgrade!
Completely unrelated but I’m gonna need to know where to find that fresh ass jacket sir!
Thanks, lad! Waxed cotton biker jacket from Next UK.
Tonight, on Top Gear... Eddie sips tea very slowly, Steven wears a too-tight Mercedes shirt, And both of them reminisce about sheep
Which mode/setting did you use for the steering? I suppose it's all relative but I don't find the Steering especially heavy (even in "N" mode") compared to my old Mk.1 Swift Sport. Ditto the performance comparison. I really like my i20N and don't feel the urge to rev it to the max in each gear. It's plenty quick enough for normal road use
You could daily drive the 120n.
I believe it was in N Mode, with the amplified engine noise and all. I'd just jumped out of my Audi S1 which has very sharp but light steering. The i20N felt sharp, but slightly more "dampened" than the "buttery" S1. This could also have been down to the fact the i20N had about 1K miles on the clock. It was a superb car which I would definitely recommend. I also found out that the S1 is Stage 1 300bhp, which explains why the power felt so different. I do believe around 200bhp is more usable every day.
@@ljp1942 100%
@@ljp1942 ..and I do 👍
@@eddiearies there are 2x N Custom modes, which you can tailor various dynamics to your preference. So, for you, the lightest steering might be the best option. I prefer the full N dynamics but with the quietest exhaust setting - it's a bit more 'stealthy' 👍
Big Boyz Toys 😗
They sure are!
You poped up on my feed 😂 keep up the good work, New subscriber here. So who is hamond and jezza an mays been sorted 😅😅😊😊
Seriously appreciate it, thank you! I reckon Dan is Hammond. He's the youngest and most annoying. I somewhat narrate and direct, so probably Clarkson. Leaving Joe as May? To be honest, we've all been inspired by the three, so it's a bit of a blend. What are your thoughts?
Stop calling it Top Gear. Don't try and emulate it, make your own future
It's more a homage this one. There's plenty more to come, we just wanted to pay tribute to what we all grew up on with this road trip. I do appreciate your point though!
Counterpoint: We, the viewer, are part of what made Top Gear into what it was. We deserve every bit of credit as the Trio do. I mean legally speaking, he probably shouldn't call this series "Top Gear", but as he is a dedicated fan of the Trio I think he's earned the right to name it as such. Well, until the BBC step in and force him to stop lol
Deffo need to get some more content with the lads, proper tg/TGT vibes
Definitely. Thank you for watching a supporting!
ACN boys
Legends!
Big up the boys
Let's go!
😀 me gusta
Thank you!
What year is the slk?
@@fimapoliakov5517 2011
dam it would be nice i can get one in the states
Why bother doing a review of a dead platform planet destroying fuel burning my children are dying because of you.
14:09 proof that Dan's head is empty, no thoughts
Meditating while we sort out the chaos on the roundabout!
Seeing Dan arrive in the Abarth and acting nonchalantly, right before making fun of the Audi to change the topic, gives SUCH James May energy, I love it. As for you Eddie, I'm noticing you're definitely alot more confident on camera than before. Truly do keep it up. You and your friends are amazing.
Hahaha, you're not the first person to draw that comparison. He's embracing it now. Thank you for your feedback as always, it's the first big road trip since the Isle of Wight in 2019, so it was nice to be back on the road with two good friends. Thanks for your support, there's plenty more on the way!
I want in. In the next adventure
400bhp hot hatch tour?
I just had this video randomly recommended to me. Keep up the great work, was a fun video to watch
Much appreciated, really glad you enjoyed it!
Ugly car
Didn’t even think about the clear frame, nice!
Style over substance.
If you can’t smell his chuff, then you’re not close enough.
My mum always drove Alfas growing up and the Spider was her absolute dream! Happy to see one after all these years haha
Thank you so much for sharing this. Alfas are such special cars, and convertible ones, even more so!
"Your bedroom doesnt exist anymore" is a helluva thing to hear when youre trying to sleep in it😭😭
I'm glad you liked that, it was hilarious, especially to be woken by it at 3am. Thanks for watching part two. Now for the recent road trips!
The irony of him stalling at the start
I know right. That was a genuine stall. He'd only been driving a few weeks!
Nice video Bro, keeping making more will be supporting you
Thank you very much. New road trips arriving imminently!
Cool watch and you have all the right ingredients, a recut could make a lot better. I'm sure you guys have learnt a lot from this project look forward to next one
Much appreciated, thank you for saying. It's had various recuts over the years, and this is basically an "extended" cut before this year's road trips appear (shot three), so I respect your point. Do stick around for our recent road trips!
Despite the budget being low and the presentation work amateur, this 20 minute video was still more enjoyable than the entirety of post-2015 Top Gear. You got a sub from me because you guys do seem to love cars and I like that alot. I do look forward to part two :)
You're a legend, and that compliment means more than you know. This was our first road trip from back in 2019, and I've shot three more in the past year that will appear soon, so hopefully you'll see them evolve. We love cars, I love cars. Thank you again and I'm glad you've joined our adventure!
One of the best videos I’ve stumbled across, currently in the process of thinking about getting a S1, I know a few people that have them but wanted more information and opinions on it and your video really helped me especially the mpg part lol, currently getting around 25-30 in my Clio RS, not a huge power difference between that and a S1 but just want something different
That's much appreciated, thank you. I'm really glad it's been helpful. 35mpg has been average long term, with a mix between daily driving and weekend "spirited" driving. Sounds like a good alternative to a Clio RS as they are both rarer European hot hatches. I've got a few videos on the S1 and an upcoming road trip, so stick around!
Has you opinion changed since making this video?
I still really like the Rambler as a travel/adventure bottle that you can throw in a bag. If I were to buy another YETI, it would probably be one of their stackable tumblers (16oz). Mainly because the Rambler doesn't fit in my Audi cupholder, when it did in my Honda CR-V. I'd also like the MagSlider lid next time primarily for driving or at home. Thanks for your question, let me know if I can provide any further info!
What a great and funny review I had a good chuckle. And especially about Audi Drivers. We say that in Melbourne Australia too so most be a thing. I get mine in the next few days I can't wait.
Thank you so much for saying, I'm glad you appreciated it. Haha, I can confirm it is true, as an Audi driver. I'd blame the capability of the car though... I also don't feel we are as bad as BMW drivers? Enjoy your new car!
Our first road trip, from 2019, in preparation for our latest and greatest road trips this year!
That's my Mum's old car! Vegas Yellow, and always on the lookout for that plate! We spotted it at Re:Fuel. It has a Revo Stage 1 Remap on it - so is running around 300bhp. 😁
NO. WAY. That is absolutely hilarious, and explains why I've considered it so fast, over 228bhp! Thank you for saying. Did you have anything done suspension wise? If you have time, let me know if you know anything about what I comment about in my "everything wrong with it" video. I won't be mad. Thanks for reaching out!
These cars are often criticised as dull but can easily be great with relatively little money spending on them. The main reasons the stock car feels dull are: 1. Numb steering 2. Sloppy gear change 3. Poor accelerator response curve (nothing happens for most of the travel and it's almost switch like at the end) Rectifications: 1. Disable 'straight line running' with vcds (stops the car auto compensating for cambers, crosswinds etc and brings significant interactivity to the drive). 2. a. Use superglue in the lever linkages (have to keep working them back and forth to prevent them glueing solid but tightens them up amazingly well). 2.b. Add a helper tension spring to the gear lever to provide more centering force (in the horizontal shifting plane). 3. DTE pedal box. It's a far better value proposition than say the usual BMW M1XX/M2XX route with lsd, m4 front wishbones & new shocks. Don't forget S1s have the same gen 5 haldex of the mk7 golf R with fully independent rear suspension so they're inherently very well balanced when cornering up to the limit.
This is a fantastic comment, full of useful information for any S1 owner or potential S1 owner. They sound like some great modifications you can make to help transform the car into more of a "driver's" car. I've got to admit the car has been growing on me, especially when on some stunning winding roads. There's a couple of road trips coming up with my S1, so definitely stick around. Thanks again!
A 7 month roadworks near me had deliveries at 8AM everyday for weeks 😂. It’s like they chose the nose inconvenient time on purpose.
I reckon you're right. Whatever makes the least sense, let's do that!
UPDATE: The liquid in the boot is screen wash, so it must be a loose pipe internally.
Only bad thing ive heard is that the clutch is easily worn.
I've heard that. I haven't got any paperwork to say that it has been replaced, but it still feels strong at 85K surprisingly!
Watch the washer for the rear wiper causing the water on the bootlid, my wife's Audi A3 had that fail
Thanks for sharing this. The liquid in the boot is in fact washer fluid, so there must be a loose pipe internally.
Worth getting a separate microphone, it is quite difficult to hear you while driving.
I appreciate the feedback, I usually use a mic but was testing a new camera in this video. Thanks for letting me know; time to get the mic back out!
Or run the audio thru something like rtx audio that can remove backgroundnnoise
@@AndrewTSq Good shout, thank you very much for the recommendation!
Good vid mate, im looking to purchase one of these would you recommend it, ive heard the lot about how small they are and what not but ive test drove one and with my current situation space doesnt bother me but living with it day to day is it worth it over something like a polo gti or fiesta st?
Thanks for your comment, mate. The first thing I'd ask is, how much do you like driving? It depends if you want something different, which an S1 is, and quite rare. What age Fiesta? A Fiesta is by all accounts driving perfection, they sound better, but you wouldn't look twice at one on the street. A Polo GTI, I haven't actually driven, but I would say from riding in one (see my video), they're a bit sterile. If you can wait, in the next week or two I will be uploading an epic Wales road trip with the S1, Hyundai i20N and Abarth 595. In that video, I stretch the S1 to the limit, so I'd definitely recommend a watch in your situation. Subscribe to be notified. None of the hot hatches you've mentioned are bad though i.e. I wouldn't recommend a 208 GTI based on reliability!
No Marlin!
Weirdly no, they dropped it for this generation!
