The Roadfly crew was recently in Las Vegas for the US Media introduction of the 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. The highly respected Abarth with it's racing heritage did not disappoint. It's quick off the line, spins the tires at will, and has the horsepower and torque to back it up.
We were also lucky enough to meet Catrinel Menghia the supermodel who appeared in the Fiat super bowl commercial. Make sure to watch our video with Catrinel.

Executive Interviews: Joe Grace and Mike Vincent
Engine: 1.4l MultiAir
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Price: $22,000
Fuel Economy: 22 MPG City / 34 MPG Hwy

How could you not love this thing???

@soulinthewall77 12 лет назад

I enjoyed watching this. Breath of fresh-air: car-show hostess who shows a genuine, and child-like, enthusiasm and joy for the cars she tests! And, the Abarth seems pretty badass too!

@nicriccobo 11 лет назад

i own just the basic fiat 500 pop and it is one of the funnest cars i have ever drove. i work in a detail shop and get to drive a lot of different cars, fiats are up there with sports cars. also im 6'4'' and fit just fine, everyone should atleast test drive one of these for fun

@oNAGAo 10 лет назад

Bought my brand new 2013 Abarth for less than $18.8K. I adore it.

@GreenTransportation 10 лет назад

Where?

@oNAGAo 10 лет назад

Tulsa, OK. They were having an end-of-year sale that slashed all new prices by $4K.

Emme you give the BEST reviews! LOVE THE FIAT ABARTH

@amansoori 12 лет назад

Videography has definitely improved !!! Good job guys

@RichieRouge206 12 лет назад

Great review and Emme - you are a great presenter! I've got the UK-spec 500 Sport with a 1.3 Multijet Diesel and while it's not as fast as the wonderful Abarth, the handling is amazing and the little diesel not only punts it along with gusto but with 70+ mpg regularly, it's so cheap to run. I'm 6'4" and have room to spare when driving this. Build quality really is grown up and solid. It is quite simply the best car I've owned so far.

@brihamlin1 12 лет назад

Great video, thanks! I'd love to drive the Abarth, it looks great and must be really fun to drive.

@Wilhem275 12 лет назад

Woah Emme, so much enthusiasm! Nice to see you're happy with our great little 500. I hope many more in the US will get the "practical fun" spirit of this car. Cheers from Italy :-)

@Barobran92 12 лет назад

I would love a Fiat 500 Sport in blue with the Bose sound system, but the Abarth is pretty sweet and that exhaust note is fabulous!! Great video!!

@TJAXXUSVI 12 лет назад

Emme: I am very difficult to impress, but lady, your enthusiasm kept me glued to the screen. Who would'nt want to test drive this car after watching this video and listening to your remarks? I look forward to more of your talent :D

@UNMsmith 12 лет назад

@ForzaFerrari47 12 лет назад

Finally I saw two so far a white one and black one, I fell in love with it I am getting one now.

@ShermanMR2 12 лет назад

I love cruising through Red Rock. You do have to pay to get in but it's well worth it. It's got some of the most beautiful scenery and rock formations around. A must see if you have some extra time while visiting Vegas.

@gabekarl82 11 лет назад

i love the view ... the mountains ... bet the abarth would be nice to have

@jsf51953 12 лет назад

Slick car, I love Emme's energy and upbeat delivery! The only issue I have with the Fiat line is the potential resale value when it comes time to trade in.

@catheterhero 12 лет назад

Emme! Keep these great reviews coming. Also I would love to see a side by side comparison of the Fiat Abarth Turbo and Mini Cooper Turbo or John Cooper Works.

@eMotoAZ Год назад

I hope you're still doing car tests

@karlInSanDiego 12 лет назад

Emme, Awesome presentation! Fiat & SRT guys, Nice Abarth. You've got to drive one! I'm cutting the muffler off my MINI after driving one.

@PorscheCayenneLover 12 лет назад

Excellent review as usual Emme! You should get the Abarth (ah-bart) Emme, it suits you. It is fun, fresh and fast. Plus it is cute too :) . What do you think of the Nissan Juke?

@twyztted 12 лет назад

@rickyguti really thats cool about how much will the dart be with this engine do you know?

@AlternativeUses 12 лет назад

looks like emme had a great time doing this review! insideline actually had some issues with headroom in the 500, they basically said that with the sunroof, anyone around 6' would be uncomfortable. the abarth is basically fiats best model and im glad they brought it here, it makes the standard car look incredibly weak

@jhernandez2024 12 лет назад

Cant wait for the 500L

@FragNet0 12 лет назад

what kinda litres do you use for a amount of gallon by the way ?? 3.4 litre = 1 gallon ?

@thadkirk 12 лет назад

BTW, I've been driving my 500 Sport for one year this month and I'm having a blast!

@FIAT500Owner 11 лет назад

In the 70's FIAT banged heads with Triumph, MG, Datsun, Toyota, etc ... I had serveral, also had a great mechanic (lol his name was Tony). I traded my '69 TR-6 for a '70 124 Coupe ... first day out I was tailed by a TR-6 getting on the highway through the cloverleaf he pushed ... I pulled; came out onto the runoff with at least 7 car lengths between us & still accelerating easily up to 80 mph at 4500 rpms ... Got my 500 POP in March last year. They still try to push ... but now they're SUV's

@KhalilCora 12 лет назад

I need room. Probably can be a good secondary vehicle. I'm glad your back Emme you should've done the BMW 328i review

@camaroman101 12 лет назад

@twyztted will be ~21k with the sxt manual. pricing is still being adjusted and tested though

@KuyaArbee 11 лет назад

Emme :D where can we get the 2013 full review? this car looks like it's a blast to drive and has a lot of style and personality

@miavonni 12 лет назад

@BrantFortunate 12 лет назад

@wogsybloke 7 лет назад

love it

@ashline1974 12 лет назад

looks like an awesome car. I wouldn't mind owning one.

@76carmel 12 лет назад

Emme, I saw this car at the Indianapolis Auto Show around New Year's. The Abarth would be the only Fiat 500 I'd consider. The weird thing about it is the fact that there was an upshift light that is indicated when it needs it. So, those who want to learn how to drive a manual transmission vehicle -- won't be indimidated in this Fiat.

@Statimtek 10 лет назад

Hmm,I'm 6'4", my knees were up under the steering wheel, getting out was like an acrobatic act.Too bad.The Abarth looks like it would be fun.

@catheterhero Definitely a great comparo video. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

@Saytheodd 12 лет назад

Test drove the Sport Trim 6-Speed auto with convenience package and the navigation and sun roof, I fell in love I'm waiting till I get mine. I love this car and it's peppy 101hp engine ( which is as fast as the 2011 Vw Jetta 2.5 170hp to 60mph ). So it isn't a slow car.

@jex360 12 лет назад

Love u Emme

@AustrianChaos 12 лет назад

Is the 2012 a new version or is this just an adapted US version? Will there be a new european one too?

@SegerGiesbers 12 лет назад

New model:P it's out here in Europe since 2007, it's a shame you can enjoy this car just right now!

@Guak2 12 лет назад

my girlfriends been wanting a 500 for a while and i wasnt really too impressed but with the abarth it sounds like i might have to check one out personally :)

@roadfly 12 лет назад

I haven't driven the Juke...Ross got to drive it last year. But I LOVE the styling of it. I like anything that takes a risk, and the Juke is so polarizing. It's fantastic. If I ever got the chance to drive the Juke-R I would probably squeal like a little school girl! -Emme@RoadflyTV

@ch1kusoo 12 лет назад

when's the review?

@fatboy19831 12 лет назад

I wanted to see you push it. I will have to wait for the road test.

@britishbikes12 11 лет назад

I just put mine through my a set of 3 dimensional twisties. Mine has the 16 wheels. Steering is vague, numb and the tires walk and then slide early. If you brake from 100 mph- not full abs, but say 70%, the car tends to go into a not-subtle-at-all high speed tail weave- on flat, level pavement. On level ground top speed is gps 130mph. Bump compliance is good, damping is very good. Trans is gappy, there is some lag in the turbo. Seats have poor bolstering but are nice in a straight line.

@moose5.9 12 лет назад

is multi air kinda like vtech? kinda similar i think

@fordgtman1992 12 лет назад

@katanamast279 FR-S will be at around 22-23k and have around 35 mpg.

@KuyaArbee 11 лет назад

Where is the full review......

@roadfly 12 лет назад

@fatboy19831 Yes, wait for the track test. Spring Mountain was a great track for the Abarth. Charlie and I both got some seat time and we had a blast! -Emme@RoadflyTV

@TheKidNamedRoland 12 лет назад

emme should get this it seems like her car

@PNA671 11 лет назад

Check out if you can the Abarth punto super sport !

@greenfaction4 12 лет назад

$27,000 is such a huge premium for a car that size. The styling is fantastic; you get a sense of happiness every-time you take it for a drive. However, the competition (mini cooper) offers much more and for 27 large, the horsepower is meager. Aside from these gripes, its a good overall package. Moreover, I would much ratter drive the Fiat than the absolute waste of money called Smart-For-Two.

@beachbum0014 12 лет назад

The white Abarth at the end actually looks pretty sick.

@alexm3319 11 лет назад

im 6'9 and own a fiat 500 and fit fine so much room in this car

@Nathant888 12 лет назад

I'll just leave this here: Emme, I love you.

@MrTestNTune 12 лет назад

This works for cell phones ..? I wanna show my friends on FB and twitter ...

@Tonyxrawr 12 лет назад

I have been waiting for the Abarth to come to the states for YEARS! My only complaint is the pricing, i feel they could have delivered the same for less. People are going to compare the Abarth to the Mini S, i'm not entirely sure the pricing is aggressive enough to compete. Regardless it IS worth it though!

@drchulo76 12 лет назад

Charlie you lucky dog, she said lately she's been Coming.... ;-) with you. So u make her come. Well, I'm happy for her. LOL. Luv all of your videos, thanks.

@Folgore8585 12 лет назад

@bottomlayer In europe is already available...

@GeorgeKnighton 12 лет назад

I'm glad your excited about a quick, small car. But it might be too little too late for Chrysler. The little FIAT is up against some very strong competition when you get into the price range of the Abarth. Don't worry so much how to pronounce Abarth the Italian way. Carlo Abarth was originally Karl Abarth, and he was a subject of the Hapsburgs. He was German. Anyway, I like the idea behind the FIAT 500 Abarth, but I'm not as excited as you are...it is not ground breaking.

@elguero714 12 лет назад

small sporty car...good exhaust sound. I would like to do drive and give reviews for cars for a living.

@SquiggleSquared 12 лет назад

example plz? no offense, im just asking, id love to have a golf gti though

@marshknute 12 лет назад

I am very impressed by this car. Unlike MINI, Fiat doesn't overprice their cars. I can get a well-optioned Abarth for under 25K. A similarly-equipped Cooper S would set me back over $30K, and for that price, I would rather have a Mazda Miata or Subaru BRZ. The Abarth is the perfect hot hatch for the US market: it's cheap enough to undercut the RWD and more powerful competition, yet provides darty handling thanks to its well-sorted FWD chassis.

@roadfly 12 лет назад

@foca2002 You totally beat me to the punch. The power to weight ratio is much better in the Abarth. Also the gearing is better for the track w/ the 5 speed and incredibly flat torque curve that starts at 1,800 RPMs. I like the Cooper S JCW for the track but it would probably lose this fight. I'm going to work on setting up a track test. -Charlie@RoadflyTV

Emme, looks like a great time. Your crew needs to visit the 29th annual FIAT FreakOut convention this year in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA Aug 2-5. flu.org for details.
