2023 Abarth 695 Competizione Start Up

[@user-sg6xv2kb8s]

The new exhaust on these looks great 👍

[@boxingking7]

After 3mph it will sound like a electric car until you hit 34mph then the flaps will open again unless you unplug the plug under the bonnet that controls the flaps then it will sound like a proper abarth

Hi Adam I am waiting for the 695 MTA Turismo with Monza exhaust looks like yours.

[@TheTechAudiophile]

How comfortable is the car for longer drives? Is the suspension really hard? Is there lots of road and wind noise?

[@adamwinter06]

Quite hard for the Comp. Seats are also very hard but absolute rocket and at 65-70 sits on the motorway quite well. Not much wind noise really for the type of car

[@thomasbuchenauer7600]

ITS a fun car

[@luigicrimeni9110]

Original sound?

[@cr0yd3]

Nice. Just picked up a new 695 Competizione and want to ask if yours came with metal pedals as standard as mine didn't. Dealer says that they stopped from 2022 onwards. Cheers.

[@adamwinter06]

Same here , no metal pedals on it but hoping to find some and a metal passenger footplate

[@tavners8044]

Why abarth did this ill never know and the fuel cap alu

[@cr0yd3]

It's odd as I've seen some new Turismos for sale from the same dealer that do have metal pedals, including the autos. I did get an aluminium fuel cap though. As it's now an outgoing model I wonder if they are just raiding rapidly depleting parts bins. The Turismo is cheaper and the only difference is the seats and the addition of decent pedals lol.

[@tavners8044]

@@cr0yd3 100 percent they raided the parts bin.

[@dustin_cookie]

Luckily, I recently bought the 2022 Turismo, which still has metal pedals

Does the 695 use the old semi automatic transmission technology, or was it updated?

[@huiba1]

No, it's practically the same as the 595 and 500. But it's not as bad as people say

[@Unknown24182]

I was going to get one of these but think I’ll get looked at oddly, It’s abit of a girls car, I got a 2017 Focus RS instead 😂

[@Davidand-Goliath]

Hi Adam does the Exhaust make any crackles or bangs.

[@adamwinter06]

in auto and manual mode the car will pop and bang as you accelerate as it downshifts , I've been next to it and it's really loud
