Abarth 695 Competizione (2022) review: hard cornering, handbrake turn, white car

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The main reason i chose the Fiat Abarth, was on price, as the main dealer had four pre registered cars already in stock, at such reduced prices, that purchasing a similar vehicle elsewhere would have cost me thousands of pounds more. My Abarth came in the colour of choice, Modena Ferrari Yellow, and it had several desirable extras, including larger 17in wheels, reversing sensors at the rear, and a few other small additions. The Abarth was not my first car of choice, but on styling and initial cost, i am glad i bought one. Decent fuel efficiency of around 51mpg, from such a high performance engine, very affordable insurance, and an exciting drive. It's a car i could easily recommend to someone looking for a similar vehicle.

How reliable do you find the car?

From day one, the car has been totally reliable, and returns good fuel economy from its spirited 145hp engine. I am more than happy with the car, and would not hesitate in recommending a similar Fiat 500 to a friend or relation.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The car is exciting to drive, is surprisingly cheap to insure, cheaper than my previous vehicle a Smart ForTwo. The car returns decent fuel economy, and is reliable, what more could one ask for.
