Sister has one of these, such a fun car to drive, yes there's loads of bits that aren't perfect like seating height , steering wheel size/shape etc but those criticisms are minor detail given how much charm they have and noise they make, I absolutely love them. That car sounds lovely🔥🔥
one note, I can see standard tyres between cons. I have Michelin Pilot Sport 2 and no complain, and I don't know, what understeer means in my pocket rocket because I have LSD, so maybe quite big difference with and without. (not sure if your was equipped with one). cheers mate
@@lukaslatal Hi Lukas. Thanks for your comment. The tyres on the 595 were something between standard and what manufactorers love to call "UHP". So everything happens earlier. For this kind of car we strongly recommend a real sport tyre (Pilot Super Sport; Cup 2 f.e.) except you use it as a daily driver. The character will stay the same, you can't change the weight distribution. But you won't lose any grip on dry public roads.
I was driving both the Abarth 500 and 595 for overall 8,5 years and the amount of quality and performance issues were a real disaster. The cars spent more time at the dealers garage than driving with me. With series 3 of the abarth fiat introduced a new function in the ecu that delivered a total power failure to prevent the cars exhaust engine noise from exceeding the strict noise emission regulations. This was an absolute no-go for me.
@@carbittv the performance issue happened in any gear one after another for up to full 3 seconds and up to 100 kph from day one on when the car was new. The Koni-FSD suspension system made a terrible rattling noise from day one. After 3.5 years, the strut bearings and wheel bearings were defective and the charge air hose completely broke. At the end the 595 consumed 1 litre of Selenia oil each 1000 km.😞
@@Ohlukei Very sorry for you. This sounds like a monday car. The issues with struts, suspension and so on is quite normal for this kind of "sports car" as it's quite hard suspension and likely to be driven hard as well. But the oil consumption and performance issues definitely are not. There must already have been an issue with the engine when it was new.

you make best videos on RUclips
Love your last videos ! Nice design shots in the countryside, and after, only sound on Dynamic shots. 🤩
Brilliant drive mate

Which issues did you have on you 595? Just the ecu silencer until reaching 60 km/h or even more?

Does anyone know why it sounds like it holds the revs a little before dropping when you rev it in neutral ?
Do you think this car equipped with Record Monza is the loudest 4 cylinder stock? Thank you.
We didn't measure db but the sound is very voluminous and special for this class.
What’s the colour called
pretty sure it's red
Oh ha🎉
