*Check out stefabtv’s profile on RoadStr!* link.roadstr.io/u/5cb417f6970eb1000ea2c1cd

I bought a 595 esseessee and this car makes me smile every time. No matter the weather. It's simplicity is it's joy no bs, no fakery just pure fun

Getting more and more tempted by these....

Great review Stef in brilliant location to enjoy the car in its natural habitat:)

Good information Stef. I had a BMW M4 Comp and then took the little Abarth out for a test drive. Wow flipping brilliant. I am now the happy owner of an Abarth 70th Anniversary Esseesse. Love it!

Great review Stef👍🇦🇺

Seeing the car parked on Superga and the views on Torino brought back many memories, nice video, thanks

Great video as always Stef - your passion for Abarth always shines through !- heard rumours the next 500 will be all electric -arghh!

Great, informative video, heading to the dealer in Cannes today for a test drive. Do you know if you can get the front & rear diffuser as an option? I can’t see it on the abarth website. It’ll be a great car for the South of France. Cheers

We own one of these - well my wife does. I totally agree with you about the lights. For a performance car the headlights are piss poor. What I’ve done is upgraded the headlights and I’ve had fitted some 500% brighter headlight bulbs as well as the driving lights. It’s made an incredible difference. I might consider a headlight upgrade in the new year

That got the juices flowing, nice vid . I tell what though, my series 4 180 comp , which is the first car I have owned since giving up (quick) bikes just absolutely does it for me. Every drive is an event, especially round the Lincolnshire back roads which is, how can I put it, involving . For me its about character and soul, can't say much more really.

OMG the blue one in the show room. Wow.

Stef, took delivery of our Ghiaccio white Comp 70th anni' a few weeks ago, sounds like we specced it pretty much to your liking, LSD, roof, carbon seats with natural leather, carbon dash, Xenons, etc etc. Got it run in nicely on a round trip to Cornwall for a holiday that included a cheeky remap that see's it approach 200bhp/tonne. I run a Giulia as a work daily and while the Abarth is compromised in places, it's mahoosive fun and every bit as good as the Alfa. Oh, and an aftermarket cruise control makes the long haul stuff so much easier too. Bought this as a long term purchase to keep the synapses firing at a reasonable cost until we're too old and decrepid to get in and out of it ! :-)

Simply fun brilliant cars glad I have a competizione,but an essesse is a must buy

Beautiful. Nicely done.

Great video again........

Very nice Car and Location👍👍

What a great car! 😁🚗🔥

Lovely car.

Cracking vid

abito nelle zone in cui hai fatto il video.... le strade piu' belle del mondo :) viva superga

I do fancy one of these. Top videos btw. Especially like the English pronunciation of Akrapovic rather than it's countries origin pronunciation which is A crap o vich (yes really)

Do you think this Esseesse is louder than the Competizione with the Monza? Thank you.

Is the Esseesse above the Comp? What makes it better?

Loving your content. Unfortunately, I can’t fit in these! Can’t get the seat far enough back to get my rigid left leg in. I prefer something a bit more “visible” on British motorways.

I ordered mine essesse few weeks ago as a first customer in Czech Rep. and the LSD is NOT standard!!! Is that different in between countries or is it an error on my dealer/importer side..? Thx Stef for great content... keep it up!

Are they still manufactured in either Poland or Mexico?

Another passionate vid......awesome Question - can the public visit the HQ ?? I will be visiting Turin in late August, it would be so 😎 to pop in

Wait, did a brit just admit that left hand drive cars are better? Just kidding man, love the content, the new esseesse looks killer but that price is steep.

Stef!!! I'm asking you because I know you know... What's the Abarth sweet spot!? Value for money wise, what do you think is best? Is the Essessee that much better than the comp?

For the people that think the car is too outdated... You are right but that is exactly why it is so desirable. I for one hate all the gadgetry and weight of the most modern cars.

Loving the new Esseesse. Can you get a roof air scoop as part of the upgrades? Also have you become so famous that you need extra security when you go out for a drive?

Watching this makes me miss my abarth 500 esseesse even more … such special little cars with big personalities. Am I to old to buy another at 41 ? Or should I be more grown up . Once again lovely review .

You were at Superga or am I wrong?

LSD as standard? Woah! Trippy! 🤪

124 Spider /GT for me. Much better looking car, bigger, RWD and more car for the money. THe 500 just isnt my kind of car, but i belive its a lot of fun, you British absolutly love thoose for sure

The blue one at 4.22 is so nice. Is that a 695 biposto?

Good vid, but confused... Why is LHD manual 'better' than RHD manual??? :-)

Not too familiar with these in the States, are they like the Italian Mini?

What please is the LTD ?

So the handeling is better than the competizione ?

Stef, do you think the car will ever get a major overhaul?

Sad the us never got the 595 and now the abarth will no longer be sold here

Is the punto abarth finished

Hey Stef, I wanted to share a point that LSD is not standard in Esseesse, I just booked mine and I paid 1900€ for it (Differenziale autobloccante meccanico) correct me if I am wrong.

I like the regular exhaust more then the Akrapovic.

Top Choice of a Car to Review! Does it come in an Auto?

Size and power is not all in a car. Thats a thing you have realized a long time ago and you always mention that. Hopefully more people will start realizing that. Specially americans. So far I have never had the chance to test drive an Abarth.

With series 3 of the Abarth Fiat introduced a new function into the ECU to keep sure the cars engine/exhaust noise emission will stay within local (well, at least European) law: If you request power you may get a total power failure for around three seconds and in any gear after again...

Are you working on commission? You sure there's not a link in the description to put a deposit down?

Great car but the price is ludicrous. I’ve owned two so I think I’m judging it fairly. They will make a great buy in a couple of years but considering you can buy nearly new Comps with a significant saving, paying 25k for a car with essentially some trim differences doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. It just isn’t a 25k car. It’s the same platform than launched all those years ago when you could buy a A500 for 13k, yes it has a bigger turbo, brakes and the MY updates but it’s not twice the car the original was.

Great video however... 25k plus options for a massively dated car is not great deal imo. I agree with evo magazine. Even though I'm a massive fan of the Abarth that sort of money is top end st. And the St wipes the floor with it in almost every category

Auto or manual ?

You know you want one don't you 😄

25k????

Meanwhile in the US. Feelsbadman

That means you will buy another Abarth? 🤪😅

Gawd do I want one. Fiat, please ship them to the USA...without the carbon fiber gobbiness all over. What is with that lately? It looks poor.

25k no thanks

That's a lot of s and e's

But sir the Monza sounds better than Akrapovic...

You must drop the commercials, i just deleted your Channel Mr Greed 👎👎👎

Yucky car
