SEXY IN RACING ROSSO RED

Cambelt replaced at 48,396km

I absolutely love this car and I find myself smiling like an idiot when I drive it. Even an automatic transmission cant fully blunt its scrappy personality and deliriously fun driving dynamics.
A lot of this fun has to do with how it sounds; the Abarth 500 easily wins the biggest-noise-from-the-smallest-car competition. Especially in Sport mode, the Fiat snaps, farts and burbles away, shouting its rude intentions to all the bigger cars out there. Its fun hearing the teeny turbo spooling up and then a loud pop from the exhaust as the transmission shifts and lets off steam.
The best thing about the Abarth is how it makes you feel like a criminal, like youre getting away with something, except you dont actually need to break any laws to really enjoy driving it. Its driving limits arent so high as to need a racing background to fully exploit its capabilities it feels much faster than it actually is. Push the SPORT button then gun it, and the power sometimes overwhelms the sub-compacts font wheels, as youll feel a fair amount of torque steer, but power delivery is mostly smooth and the Abarth feels legitimately quick.
A lot of modifications have been made to give the Abarth the performance edge over the regular 500, and besides sportier tires, some cosmetic changes and engine tweaks, the suspension upgrades make a big difference in how it handles. The suspension is much stiffer in the Abarth, so it feels more stable and flat around fast corners, but that also means that you really get thrown around when you drive over rough pavement. You can just thrash the Abarth around and its happy to be abused.
This car is just so much fun I found myself looking for reasons to leave the house just so I could drive the little red Italian rocket.
