ABARTH 500 1.4 16V T-Jet 3dr (2009)

Abarth 500 - Small but powerful!!

For anybody who is considering buying a Fiat 500, can I not tempt you with the hot version? The 500 Abarth. It's the dearest 500 but at £14k, it's still great value. For that type of money you end up with a 1.4-litre powerhouse with more charisma, more power and more fun than any of its rivals. The need for such a small engine comes from the 500 not weighing any more than a toaster; so it's very quick!

I think it's the only 500 that a man can drive, too. It looks manly, full of testosterone but still cute enough for any female to drive. The sporty red leather interior adds to the car's appeal, as does the chunky dials. super stereo and lovely pedals. It really is a pleasure to drive.

The Abarth 500 is a hot/warm hatch, so don't expect great mpg, but after saying that, it isn't actually that bad. I can achieve over 30mpg if I'm careful - which I'm usually not :P

Seriously, if you like style and speed, this little Abarth is the perfect motor for you.
