Did you know: Since series 3 of the Abarth Fiat introduced a function into the ECU to keep sure the cars engine/exhaust noise emission will stay within local (well, at least European) law: If you request power you may get a total power failure for around three seconds...
I know there were more ‘sensible’ choices out there but I have more fun in my Competzione than I did test driving the Fiesta ST or the Peugeot GTI . It reminds me of the cars from the 90’s. Old skool hot hatch style of drive. The others maybe a bit faster but god they’re dull.
Car Obsession Hi thanks for the vid, I just found the ST a bit ‘polished’ I guess. It’s obviously the better car but I decide with the heart not the head. I also have no interest in lap times so a raspy Italian wins over the American Ford for me. Horses for courses as it were!
I've got a 595 competizione aswell mine has an upgraded straight through ragazzon / novitec challenge corse exhaust with the remote volume valve which sounds like a mini Ferrari, small car or not you definitely need a Big pair of balls to druve/ own 1! otherwise get a fiat 500 soft top and Not an abarth.
The Abarth has got one of the biggest characters going, that's for sure. It's a cheeky chappy that can fight when it wants to be. It's a bit like Scrappy Doo I suppose, only the Abarth makes a more menacing noise. 😈 Thanks for watching Marino.
Like this one! Good review , I think you should have done it in Italian. I was actually quite impressed with your accent!! I think this is a great ladies` car, do the shopping ,then burn them all off at the traffic lights.There `ll be a few boy racers that get cauight out by this. One thing I didn`t like ,and u didn`t mention (i think) was the steering wheel. Small hot hatch, couldn`t they put something more sporty in there? Feel like u driving a bus!!LOL!
Hey Lydia, thanks for watching (and putting up with my Italian accent LOL) I did mention the steering wheel ;) I really like the steering wheel, just a shame that the steering itself isn't better.
Torque steer depends on the road surface if the road is rough the torque steer gets more aggressive. On a separate note good reviews I’ve watched most of them

No, I must admit, I did not know that. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for watching. I'm surprised you found the Fiesta ST dull, but each to their own.

This reviewer is honest and makes me laugh, and good to watch. I shall subscribe.
Love the colour, almost as nice as the funk white
Looks good doesn't it? Thanks for watching.
Car Obsession looks great, do you know the name of that particular fiat colour by any chance? Good video btw
It's called (rather unoriginally) 'Abarth Red'. Cheers man, glad you enjoyed the video :)

Sorry must have missed it topping up the wineglass!

Nice video
The steering wheel adjustment sucks
Hello Hugo, thanks for watching. Yes, you're right, it does. Rather disappointing for a car of this price point.
Hugo Pedro I know people complain about the steering adjustment. I never had an issue
Bit like my ex girlfriend !
