I like your style, It seems like you are the type of guy who take someone's car for a ride and take care of it like the same way they cared about it.

@MikeDrives 3 года назад

Thanks! I try my best. It can be hard to find that balance because if you drive it too soft people get mad. If you drive it too aggressively people get mad. Just can't please anyone these days lol.

Nice ride! love the Abarth! 10:10 you seem to have issues with boost. I had the same problem with mine

@MikeDrives 4 года назад

This is someone else's car haha. Yeah, the car had about 80,000 miles. So maybe there was some turbo issues, not sure.

@ugh_adam 4 года назад

That's actually just what they do. The "boost gauge" is actually the amount of boost the ECU is requesting, not the actual boost the engine is receiving. Also, you'll only see that boost gauge peak at 18psi below like 3500/4K RPM. Once you really mat it, it stays between 6-12psi, hovering around 9 as the revs climb. Mine always did that and it drove fine.

Bro may i ask what was fuel consumption 100km /liter

@MCJimboy10 3 года назад

I may be wrong but I don't think it is in Sport mode as the instrument cluster generally has a G meter when it in sport..

@4nebster 3 года назад

It’s in sport, this a pre interior refresh year. You can see above the mileage it reads “sport”

@vinanoir 4 года назад

hope its cool to say this, but you should probably let the car idle for 1min (ideally 2 min) before you start revving it and/or driving it...and try to wait for the temp to come up before driving it hard...

@julienmalschaert5029 4 года назад

False, letting an engine warm up at idle isn't good for it, due to oil pressure. BMW recommends driving it gently for proper warm up.

The Fiat 500 Abarth is not mine. When I spoke with the owner, he said he just had some minor issues. Although, no major issues. I believe the Abarth has about 80,000 miles.

I am deciding on if I should get one, any advice? Much appreciated

@MikeDrives 4 года назад

It's a small car with a big personality. I wouldn't buy one without a warranty. Yeah you can get these really cheap for under $10,000, but I simply wouldn't trust the reliability. And the build quality is not that great. Though the car is an absolute joy to drive.

@bigpoppabiggie7214 4 года назад

Mike Drives thanks man, I appreciate the advice.

@p.cookie4169 3 года назад

Absolutely not. there are hundreds of better cars out there go buy one of them.

@jdrs4214 2 года назад

Get a Volkswagen Beetle with low miles, if you can find one. I’m talking about the last generation of the New Beetles (2011-2019). Oh, and get the VCDS diagnostic software with included OBD2 cable, and laptop for it.

@believingdream 4 года назад

would it be a bad idea to learn manual with an abarth?

@MikeDrives 4 года назад

You can definitely learn on an Abarth. The clutch is light and easy to modulate. One odd thing about the clutch is that the clutch travel is long. It's the first car I drove that really worked out my ankles lol. Other than that, you'll get the hang of it. Good luck man!

@Alex-ch2ud 4 года назад

On the contrary it should be the perfect car! I haven't driven one but it looks to be quite a good example of a fun manual car

@dhichens 4 года назад

It'll be easier than most because it makes a lot of torque. Let's you take off at lower revs and is more forgiving.

@Alex-ch2ud 4 года назад

@@dhichens it might be scarier to drive though since it's so tiny, I don't know though since I've never driven one

@dhichens 4 года назад

@@Alex-ch2ud I just bought one. Coming from a Miata, it feels big. It's taller, and you sit more upright, so it doesn't feel as small as it is. Any sporty car should feel smaller than a standard car, but this one isn't too bad.

Lo scarico è di serie.

Bel sound veramente perché la sto acquistando io una e ha lo scarico di serie

@MikeDrives Месяц назад

Tutti gli scarichi dell'Abarth suonano piuttosto bene quando sono di serie. Ho guidato sia la Fiat 124 Abarth che la 500 Abarth. E penso che lo scarico della 500 Abarth sia più rumoroso di quello della 124 Abarth.
