The Abarth 500 is the high performance model of the famed Fiat 500 and lives up to the reputation of being one of the most fun-to-drive mini cars sold in the market today. The original 500 was a smash hit as the retro cool styling was reminiscent of the original Trepiuno concept unveiled during 2004.
Fans of spirited driving are only too willing to pay the extra premium that the Abarth 500 presents to the driver as fun handling and spirited performance are rare traits in the convoluted world of city cars today. Fiat Leicester have this car in stock ready on offer now. The fun starts with the 1.4 TJET turbocharged engine that produces 135 horsepower and more than 205Nm of torque. This engine propels the tiny Abarth 500 in an adequate and sporting fashion but fuel economy is rated at a not-so-stellar 8.5 km/l in mixed city and highway driving. Like it's bigger brother, the fiat punto, this car is blood quick for its size.
The looks alone will make you want to actually own this car as the retro appeal is ideal for both men and women alike. Oddly enough, the Abarth 500 does not suffer the gender specification issues of other cute mini cars such as the Nissan Micra (which is clearly aimed at the urban woman.)
The retro styling cues continue in the interior as the dashboard is further testament to the sporting nature of the car. You get ABS brakes with EBD and 17 inch wheels which look fabulously in tune with the design of the exterior. You also get traction control and hydraulic brake assistance which assists braking effort during emergency situations.
Fans of sporting cars will have a lot to love about the Abarth 500 and lucky owners are destined to enjoy long years of driving bliss. It may not have the space of other premium mini cars but the appeal of the Abarth 500 is certainly too hard to ignore.
