  • Abarth sent me to Italy to drive the Abarth 595 Esseesse and this is why you need one! The Abarth 595 Esseesse sits at the top of the Abarth range and also sits higher than the 595 competizione. As part of Abarths 70th anniversary it has a very nice 70th abarth stitching in the carbon sabelt seats alongside a side brushed aluminium plaque and the akrapovic exhaust.

    That got the juices flowing, nice vid . I tell what though, my series 4 180 comp , which is the first car I have owned since giving up (quick) bikes just absolutely does it for me. Every drive is an event, especially round the Lincolnshire back roads which is, how can I put it, involving . For me its about character and soul, can't say much more really.

    We own one of these - well my wife does. I totally agree with you about the lights. For a performance car the headlights are piss poor. What I’ve done is upgraded the headlights and I’ve had fitted some 500% brighter headlight bulbs as well as the driving lights. It’s made an incredible difference. I might consider a headlight upgrade in the new year

    Stef, took delivery of our Ghiaccio white Comp 70th anni' a few weeks ago, sounds like we specced it pretty much to your liking, LSD, roof, carbon seats with natural leather, carbon dash, Xenons, etc etc. Got it run in nicely on a round trip to Cornwall for a holiday that included a cheeky remap that see's it approach 200bhp/tonne. I run a Giulia as a work daily and while the Abarth is compromised in places, it's mahoosive fun and every bit as good as the Alfa. Oh, and an aftermarket cruise control makes the long haul stuff so much easier too. Bought this as a long term purchase to keep the synapses firing at a reasonable cost until we're too old and decrepid to get in and out of it ! :-)

  • @jmacca4493
    @jmacca4493 5 лет назад +7

    25k plus options for a massively dated car is not great deal imo.
    I agree with evo magazine. Even though I'm a massive fan of the Abarth that sort of money is top end st. And the St wipes the floor with it in almost every category

    Great car but the price is ludicrous. I’ve owned two so I think I’m judging it fairly. They will make a great buy in a couple of years but considering you can buy nearly new Comps with a significant saving, paying 25k for a car with essentially some trim differences doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It just isn’t a 25k car. It’s the same platform than launched all those years ago when you could buy a A500 for 13k, yes it has a bigger turbo, brakes and the MY updates but it’s not twice the car the original was.
