So you're looking to buy a Fiat 500 Abarth

Hey, Youtube! Jon Smidt here and I'm back with the Fiat 500 Abarth to show you why you should totally pick one up (P.S., if you are on the fence now is the absolute best time to get one!). Anywhozzle, if you liked what you saw please leave a thumbs up since it really helps me out a lot! Which car would you like to see next?

This is definitely one of those fun cars that you don't need to be going really fast to enjoy. It has character for sure. Tons of mods for it now too.

People this car is a hidden Jem! I love mine so much. The exhaust note. And people can’t believe it sounds so good.😎 I have fun driving mine! Pops and bangs on a no lift shift. A tune and some goodies these cars can be quick.

I went from truly hating the Fiat 500, to slowly discovering things I liked about it, to being sucked into its vortex of Italian awesomeness. Now I find myself loving the Abarth and wanting one. What the hell happened?

Oil changes are easy. A little tight but pretty easy to get oil filter out from the top.

It’s a great car!!

Me sitting in an Altima with all my dash lights on cars on limp mode considering to buy this car lol

I love this car.. as you can see from my thumbnail pic... had my 2012 Abarth for about a year... It is worth every penny..

What a silly review. Plastic, plastic, plastic…guess what car interiors are made of? Did you say plastic? Yep, they are made of plastic. My BMW interior is made of…..plastic! My wife’s 500 has got firm handles so it’s either you got a bad example or the build quality of the ones made in America is inferior to the ones made in Europe. The interior handle is actually very nice, it doesn’t bother me a bit opening the door the way it is designed, keep in mind they gave the 500 a retro look and feel to resemble the one built in the 50/70s. That hole you said does nothing is actually a microphone you use to give voice commands to the infotainment system and the new models do have a nice screen in place of the old interface you have. This car is NOT a Ferrari or a Porsche so sitting straight is the better option so that you can actually use this car every day. Think of it as a pumped up city car you can use as a normal car having fun at the same time, if you think this is a sports car to race on a track then you got it totally wrong. The purpose of the 500 is to make you drive with a smile, that’s it, it was never intended to break any speed records or anything of the like, just a normal car to have fun with. I’ve had mine 13 years now and if and when my wife let’s me drive it I still enjoy it.

Stop bad mouthing the Car and show me what your doing to customize it and correct the issues you don’t like about it.

The oil changes arent that bad and it must suck to block the intake air like that with your plate. Love the look of yours though. That empty panel is the microphone for your bluetooth control. And youre high up so you dont feel like youre in a death trap in a sense. Good review overall

You can bypass the revving by pushing in the brakes while in park or neutral.

[andresidentevil]

hi there good video. you can disable the rev limiter by disconnecting the battery that thing is activated once you pass 6500 rpm

I want one so bad but i like the light green color do did they ever make a green turbo model

[MyUnderTone]

What year is it? Are there any years to stay away from?

[planetchain]

Hi Jon. Great vid. Is the Beats audio system really that bad? I assumed it would sound great. Anyone else, please feel free to offer your opinion on this.

I had a 2012 500 sport, which was quite problematic. I traded that in for a 2015 Abarth that I LOVED! Unfortunately that car was just as problematic, and in and out of the dealership for constant repairs under warranty. First repair out of warranty was $1, 600, so unfortunately I had to get rid of it. Still miss that thing.

[shahzadkhan-ctoi]

Hey, what size wheels do abarths have, 15 inch?

[wesselbakker]

Wow there's a lot of difference between the US and euro 500 cars. I don't even own an Abarth (yet). My normal 500 doesn't have any of the cheap door hinges.

[LucDesaulniers]

What you don’t know is the microphone. My 2012, I rev the red line on neutral, but then it is not a stupid auto ! Red lining a car on Park !? Find me car that does that.

[Da_Crow]

are you going to add mods to this beast?

[shawzall]

I don't think you understand the point of this car...
