Abarth 595 Competizione vs Mini JCW | Head 2 Head 

Who tf would buy an automatic abarth?

Thank you🙏🏼

I love both.

Great video ✌️

Love my mini !

they cannot be compared, they are like pizza and french fries.

Love my little 595 Comp... can't say I regret my choice

Good video, but please, don’t put music when you start the cars, we love to hear the exhaust !

I tested a 695 RIVALE, great looks, and a 595 Competizione, really wanted one of these cars but just couldn’t get on with driving position/ bouncy suspension/ no 6th gear/ - tested a cooper s sport today, so much better, more power in low revs , nice interior, seems more grown up - ( like me - a pensioner lol) pity they don’t sound like the Abarth. Going to order one tomorrow, with sunroof/JCW seats/ adaptive suspension. Just hope it’s more reliable than previous models. Do they have a engine temp gauge? Can’t seem to see one ! Thanks. - great review by the way.

Man both of those cars look so nice! I love the gray color. I would say that I like the Mini the best but if both of these cars were at a dealership I would come out with the Abarth. It's just much cheaper and still alot of fun. If you are looking for an inexpensive fun hatch the Abarth is better.

You should compare these cars both manual or both automatic. I did the test drive of the two cars and I choose the abarth.

JCW ❤️

Mini JCW

I have a f56 in very similar spec to yours. mine Comes with adaptive dampers too. But no pro exhaust...... Yet! Tax is 160. The jcw is screaming out off better tyres, mine are like new but they squeal like a pig when driven hard. Ps4 will be their replacements. Thanks for the video. BTW mine was specced real nice and the original owner paid 31k. They had it 3 years and only did 5k miles total.

Researching if I should upgrade to a JCW from my comp, but that exhaust pop is just too much 😅 😂

Love the vid, I would of compared the Abarth with the Mini S instead maybe

I own a Rebel Green John Cooper Works 2019 and it’s awesome

I've owned both ...The Abarth is more raw no bells or whistles just pure performance n fun ...i have cool Adrenaline green one

Stock Mini but mods and properly tuned the Abarth

I have a 2017 JCW, can't fault it... I find the Arbrath a bit narrow and too hard on the suspension...

love 595

The price gap i would add a tune to the Abarth and brakes and Manuel then should be fine should pop more too if u want. Wonder difference on a track lol

Can you list the things a need ,and where if possible, too convert boot same as you have in Ur abarth , thx would be much appreciated it's ideal And have too say the garrart turbo is a great turbo and goes great with a bluespark , feels like a remapped car the Monza exuast speaks for itself and the mini sounds like someone getting strangled 📯 both look great

You didn't say anything about ride quality. I bought a mk7 Golf R last year, and for quite a few reasons, I returned it pretty quickly. The ride, even with the DCC option, wasn't great. So it's very much a factor that'll come into my next hot hatch decision.

Tech house grey is the colour of the fiat, I have one

Why would you buy an auto?I mean really why?

Why test drive an auto hot hatch ? - that’s why no point buying a Polo GTI - and the horrendous tartan seats. Anyway the brakes feel spongy on the Abarth because you’re trying to slow down an auto box. Ask any BMW or Merc owner how many brake pads they get through!

Drag race?? should of had both manual or both auto

Circuit Grey 😉

This love of carbon fibre, I don't get it. I wikied it, and see that its advantages are "high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion". Used for trim on car interiors, none of these factors are of any advantage - except that presumably it won't fade over the decades. To most people, carbon fibre is just another hard plastic inside the car.

JCW - Like Cooper S also

At the end ,life is too short to own boring cars like toyota even if they are very reliable

But the Mini's got a touchscreen, too...

I better choose *FIAT 595 competezione little cute powerful and cheap*

I would love to own a Mini, but because the lack of reliability keeps it from happening. The Arbath could be one of the most fun cars to drive! But again, Fiat... IDK.

Is the Abarth better or the normal cooper

Mini cooper, here in the USA these are dirt cheap, they all suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, most BMW-Mini dealers here charge about 5 grand to try and de carbonize the valves, and or replace oil rings. BMW, you need a code reader with you at all times here.

Everyone who pronounces Abarth as Abarth and not as Abart doesn`t has any respect to Carlo Abarth

Mini is superior 🙌🏽

👍🦂🦂🦂

Non c'è paragone, la 500 molto più bella e più veloce stilye italiano sempre maggiore. 500 Abarth 👍👍👍

Abarth = Fiat = 💩 Mini = BMW = 🔥

Mini is crap. But give me a manual Abarth

Abarth is for poor people
