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

Abarth 500 Review - Quick but unreliable

Had the car about a year and a half now and it was my first car. It's a Fiat 500 Abarth in white. It looks, and I'm not going to mess about, absolutely brilliant. I don't think any Abarth has ever looked as good, so well played to Abarth for the styling cues.

Inside, it gets even better. It looks funky, sporty and above all, interesting. It's an interior where you're not going to get too bored in. I really approve of it.

The engine is a 1.4-litre turbo effort and it's really good. Throaty and powerful enough to keep up with most cars but economical enough to keep me rich.

It's quite expensive to run, though, as the tax, insurance and petrol can be quite high, but hey, it is a hot hatch.

Test drive one, you won't be disappointed.
