"The Abarth 500 is one of the most stylish cars on the road and thanks to sharp handling and an eager engine, it offers driving thrills fit."

Abarth 500 hatchback

The Abarth 500 is a performance version of the 500 city car Fiat is, looks with sportier exterior, firmer suspension and more power. Fiat relaunch the Abarth brand in 07 with a hot Fiat Punto, but the name has really starting with the Fiat 500 Abarth. You can also get a 500 esseesse version that has even more power, bigger wheels, stiffer suspension and bigger brakes.

The Abarth 500 is more expensive than competitors such as the MINI Cooper S, especially if you are swept away with the wide range of customization options, such as decals and interior. The car comes in three trim levels :. Custom Turismo and Competizione

There is also a special stripped-out, racy version, the 695 Biposto, with a motorsport-style gear. The rear seats have been removed, and there is a distinct lack of luxury aboard, so it should probably be reserved for track days and occasional road.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

2.1 / 5
[beaten

reasonable fuel consumption for a hot hatch, but by MINI Cooper S

Automatic and manual versions of the Abarth 500 Turismo and Individual 43.5mpg and CO2 emissions of return 150- 155g / km, which means it per year cost £ 180 tax. The Competizione, now can return a somewhat impressive 48.7mpg. The crazy Biposto model is capable of 37.9mpg and emissions of 145g / km.

While higher operating costs with a performance model to be expected, the MINI Cooper S (which is faster on paper than the Abarth) can return economy of 49.6mpg and has CO2 emissions that translate on roads. Tax of £ 130 per year

All Abarth models are also available with an "Easy Care" maintenance plan available that just about covers every aspect of the service - including parts and labor, software updates and an oil and filter changes - and to the car cover for up to five years for a single fixed price. For example, a three-year plan on every Abarth model, which has been waiting at another official dealer of owner costs £ 499.

motors, drive & Performance

3.8 / 5

Sharp handling and fast engine make Abarth large

to go

the entry Abarth 500 produced by a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that accelerates the car with 135bhp power is supplied by from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds, and a top speed of 129 mph.

the power of the basic car can be increased to 0bhp what the 0-62mph time to 7.4 seconds, and top speed increases to 131 hours takes miles. The high-end Competizione model has 180bhp and makes the 0-62mph sprint in 6.7 seconds. The special edition 695 Biposto model's performance even further increases 187bhp which 0-62mph time reduced to just 5.9 seconds.

Although the 500 is a five ~~ POS = TRUNC gearbox has, rather than the six ~~ POS = TRUNC found in many rival, means that the powerful engine this is not the performance is not hampered too much. All Abarths are fun when turning due to stiff suspension that minimizes slender body. Although tire and wind noise can be quite loud, all Abarths have a great exhaust sound, which gives its sporty appeal.

The pedigree is Biposto model with either the standard five-speed manual or five-speed racing gearbox. The standard transmission is a bit clunky and hakelig in this model, especially if you take it on a track day, but it will be easier than to live with the racing version.

However, if you are already set on the Biposto, it's probably worth going all-out and £ 8,500 to invest in the special transmission. An option costs about a quarter of the price of the car is not something we would normally recommend, but we are willing to make an exception.

Interior & Comfort

2 / 5

Fixed suspension means a hard drive on the road

While the solid suspension fitted to the Abarth, which makes it so much fun in the corners, there are car a hard drive , That is, the Abarth 500 can be uncomfortable on bad surfaced roads. And while the sporty exhaust sound is fun when you are in the mood, they can intrusive on a long journey.

The sports seats Competizione is through better support complaints about the standard 500 is inconvenient deals silence when you need.

The Biposto model definitely not for those who enjoy creature comforts, how it works, without air conditioning and a radio for the purpose of weight reduction. This is to swallow a tough pill in a car that costs £ 30,000.

practicality & trunk

2.4 / 5

Confined car and small boat

, the Abarth 500 offers 185 liters luggage compartment, which is a little smaller than the MINI hatchback, but much less than what you get in a Citroen DS3 , It is only really enough space to improve the split folding rear seats affairs by expanding dropping the load capacity to 550 liters for a small store weeks or a few soft bags

-. However, if you go for something to be different from the Turismo specification, one extra one £ 153 to pay for them. As the Italian name suggests, has the Biposto only two seats, the rears away for a roll cage and racing harnesses.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Abarth is very simple to park and maneuver in the city, but the larger wheels (which are easier to damage to curbs) and weightier steering make it a little more difficult prospect than the average city car.

reliability and safety

Poor shows for Fiat 500 in satisfaction surveys

shows Fiat in the 2015 poll driver performance will not inspire much confidence in the brand, as it came in the 24th of 32 manufacturers , The 500 self-ared better surveyed 87th out of the top 0 company cars. This is still not a brilliant performance, but a mid-table result for reliability is a little more promising than in the past. The 500 fared no good for seating comfort, functionality or ride quality, but.

Nevertheless, there have been reports that Abarth used as many of the same mechanical parts and components, no major disturbances on the 500th Interior build quality is also good, used with expensive materials such as leather and aluminum, the entire building.

The Fiat 500, the maximum rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash safety tests and all Abarths come backed up with driver, passenger, side, curtain and knee airbags and electronic stability control, hill hold assist and called system "torque transmission control" that maximizes the adhesion of the front wheels.

price, price-performance ratio and options

Exclusivity makes the 500 pricer than its competitors, but it helps if the sale of

Prices for the Abarth 500 start in the region of £ 14,000 - and because of the limited number of cars available, it is unlikely to get a discount. Adding the Essesse package raises the price to £ 17,000, which pretty much for such a small car.

longer the range until the Competizione has 17-inch alloy wheels, sport seats, rear parking sensors and uprated Brembo brakes as standard. It is priced less than £ 20,000.

sits at the top of the range of bonkers stripped-out Biposoto that not only very expensive to start with is £ 30,000, but also offers some stiff priced extras like polycarbonate windows for £ 1,775 and a carbon fiber body kit for 3,700 £

If you want to add the racing gearbox, that's another £ 8,500 -. about a quarter of the standard list price and a sum would almost completely pay for a new entry level Fiat 500

There are lots of standard equipment, even on the entry-level habit, but exterior styling touches such as decals and chrome cost extra, possibly by the price up press some distance.

Resale value on the used car market are very strong due to high demand, so the Abarth 500 should hold its value better than some of its competitors.
